History
NiSource can trace its roots back to 1912 when it was first established as Northern Indiana Oil and Gas Company. Over the next several decades, the company expanded its operations and changed its name to Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO) in 1943. In 1987, the company merged with Columbia Energy Group and became Columbia Energy Corporation.
In 2000, the company changed its name to NiSource Inc. and began a major restructuring to focus on its energy businesses. This restructuring included the sale of its Columbia Gas Transmission business, which was completed in 2005. Since then, NiSource has continued to grow and expand through acquisitions and strategic partnerships.
Business operations
NiSource operates two main business segments – Gas Distribution and Electric Operations. Its Gas Distribution segment includes regulated natural gas distribution operations in seven states, serving approximately 3.5 million customers. Its Electric Operations segment includes regulated electric generation, transmission, and distribution operations in Indiana and Ohio, serving approximately 500,000 customers.
In addition to its core operations, NiSource also has an energy infrastructure and technology services business, which provides natural gas storage and pipeline services, as well as energy efficiency and renewables projects.
Sustainability efforts
NiSource is committed to sustainability and has set a goal to reduce its carbon emissions by 90% by 2030. The company has invested in renewable energy projects, such as wind and solar, and also continues to modernize its natural gas infrastructure to reduce methane emissions.
In addition, NiSource has implemented various energy efficiency and conservation programs for its customers and has a strong focus on community engagement and support through its NiSource Charitable Foundation.
Overall, NiSource strives to be a responsible and sustainable company that delivers reliable energy to its customers and contributes positively to the communities it serves.

The sensitivity of NiSource’s earnings, cash flow, and valuation to changes in interest rates can be considered through several factors:
1. Earnings Sensitivity: NiSource operates in the utility sector, which generally features regulated rates that provide more stability compared to other industries. However, changes in interest rates can impact the cost of capital. If interest rates rise, the company may face higher borrowing costs for financing capital projects or refinancing existing debt, which could pressure earnings. Conversely, if rates fall, borrowing costs could decrease, potentially boosting earnings.
2. Cash Flow Sensitivity: Utilities typically have predictable cash flows due to their regulated nature. However, higher interest rates can lead to increased interest expenses, which can reduce cash flow available for dividends and reinvestments. Additionally, if interest rates rise significantly, this could dampen economic growth and affect energy demand, potentially impacting cash flows.
3. Valuation Sensitivity: The valuation of NiSource is often derived from discounted cash flow models, wherein future cash flows are discounted back to their present value using an appropriate discount rate. As interest rates rise, the discount rate used in these calculations also typically increases, which can lead to a lower present value of future cash flows. This could result in a decrease in the company’s stock price, as investors adjust their expectations based on the higher rates.
In conclusion, while NiSource’s utility operations provide some insulation from market fluctuations, changes in interest rates can still have significant impacts on earnings, cash flow, and overall valuation due to effects on capital costs, economic conditions, and investment attractiveness.
