Indiana governor directs state to investigate NIPSCO as power outages last nearly 2 weeks

Indiana Governor Mike Braun has ordered an investigation into NIPSCO after thousands of Northwest Indiana residents remained without power for nearly two weeks. Following severe storms on August 11, which brought 99-mph winds and flooding, the Governor directed the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor to file a formal complaint with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission. The probe will specifically review NIPSCO's preparedness for storm damage and its response to the widespread outages.
