NiSource Is Not Just A Utility Story — 9 GW Of Data Center Demand Changes The Scale!

NiSource, a diversified regulated utility serving customers across six states, reported second quarter 2026 consolidated adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.16, down from $0.22 in the same period last year. Year-to-date consolidated adjusted EPS increased slightly by $0.03 to $1.22 compared to the prior year period. The results reflected benefits from new rates and recovery mechanisms implemented in several jurisdictions, partially offset by increased operating and maintenance expenses due to elevated storm activity and workforce-related costs amid ongoing union negotiations. The company reaffirmed its full-year 2026 consolidated adjusted EPS guidance range of $2.02 to $2.07 per share, projecting stronger earnings in the second half driven by regulatory approvals, contracts commencement, and cost optimization initiatives. NiSource continues to focus on regulatory execution and operational excellence, emphasizing safety and system modernization through investments, including the use of artificial intelligence and advanced analytics to improve efficiency and resiliency.
