NIPSCO rate meetings in Michigan City

MICHIGAN CITY, INDIANA - Consumers have two chances to comment on Northern Indiana Public Service Company's request for an electric rate increase.

The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission will conduct a public hearing with afternoon and evening sessions July 15 to accept oral and written comments on NIPSCO's request to raise electric base rates and charges.

One session runs from 1:30 to 4 p.m. CDT and the other begins at 6 p.m., both at the Orak Shrine Center at 3848 N. Frontage Road in Michigan City.

NIPSCO serves 450,000 electric customers in 20 counties.
