NIPSCO: questions

Does NIPSCO have peak hours?

Not on the plans modeled here: Rate 611 charges the same price per kWh at every hour, so when you use power does not change the bill.

How NIPSCO’s plans work

Rate 611 (Residential Service). One price per kWh at every hour, all year: 23.8¢. Shifting use to other hours changes nothing on this plan; using less is the only lever. Fixed charge: $14.00 a month.

Prices on this page are all-in per kWh, before taxes: base rates, supply and every per-kWh rider in the utility’s current tariff sheets. Your bill shows them as separate lines, and riders can change between tariff revisions.

As a cross-check, NIPSCO billed its residential customers an average of 22.05¢ per kWh in 2025 (revenue ÷ sales, EIA-861). A plan taken from URDB is shown only if its all-in price is consistent with that figure, adjusted for Indiana’s price change since.
