Mayor: NIPSCO power limits are holding up Hammond data center proposals
Summary
Hammond’s mayor told the City Council that lack of available megawatts from Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO) is delaying a proposed data center; he said NIPSCO may add power within weeks but no formal city action was taken.
Mayor told the Hammond City Council on April 28 that proposed data-center projects are ready to move forward but are stalled because NIPSCO has not confirmed sufficient electric service.
The mayor said the city “doesn’t have neighbor problems. We have power problems,” and that the city is “literally waiting on NIPSCO.” He told the council he expects NIPSCO “will have power out there within the next 3 to 4 weeks.”
