NIPSCO Apologizes After Leaving Gary Off Storm Map

NIPSCO apologized after Gary was left off a map showing storm-related information. The omission affected the Lake County city and drew attention because the utility was operating under a warning tied to a potential -a-day fine.

What happened

NIPSCO’s storm map did not include Gary. The utility later acknowledged the omission and apologized. The available facts do not establish how long Gary was absent from the map or how many customers were affected.

Why the warning matters

The fine warning raised the stakes for the utility. At per day, the potential penalty connected the map issue to a significant enforcement risk. The warning does not by itself establish that a fine was imposed.

What comes next

NIPSCO’s response leaves the map’s accuracy and any follow-up action as the central issues. Further notices or statements could show whether Gary was restored to the map and whether the fine warning led to additional action.
