NiSource Secures 20-Year Power Agreement With Microsoft in Indiana
Microsoft has locked in a two-decade energy supply deal with NiSource to power a massive data center campus in Indiana. Starting in 2028, the tech giant will assume responsibility for its own infrastructure costs, a move designed to shield local ratepayers from the financial burden of rapid industrial expansion.
Total savings for existing customers are now estimated at $1.75 billion over the life of all active data center contracts, a notable increase from the $1.4 billion projection made before this partnership. This deal underscores a growing trend of major technology firms directly underwriting the energy infrastructure required to sustain their expanding data center footprints.
