NIPSCO recognized the 100th anniversary of the American Heart Association at the Northwest Indiana #HeartWalk last weekend. Over 100 employees along with their friends and family represented NIPSCO at the event, and many others showed their support through fundraising and donations. Funds raised from the event will support heart disease and stroke research, while promoting heart-healthy living and honoring the survivors in our community. It was inspiring to see everyone come together for such an important cause. To learn more about the American Heart Association’s mission, visit heart.org.

Two weeks ago, NIPSCO launched its #CharityofChoice campaign, and we’re now more than halfway through our month-long volunteer effort. To date 128 NIPSCO and NiSource employees have contributed 581 hours across 15 events, supporting over a dozen organizations in our service area. From interior renovations and outdoor cleanups at the Girl Scouts of Northern Indiana-Michiana to event operations at The Nature Conservancy in Indiana and home construction at the Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Indiana, our employees have made a meaningful impact across the region. With many more volunteer events scheduled through the campaign, we are working hard to reach a record goal of 1,000 volunteer hours this month. Hear from Orville Cocking, P.E., NIPSCO's Senior Vice President of Electric Operations and Alexius D. Barber, NIPSCO’s Public Affairs & Economic Development Manager as they highlight the importance of this initiative during our kickoff at the Challenger Learning Center of Northwest Indiana. Stay tuned for our next update, and a huge thank you to our dedicated employees!

This September, we kick off our month-long #CharityofChoice campaign, an employee-driven initiative focused on making a lasting impact through volunteerism at local organizations. Last year, our dedicated team members volunteered nearly 800 service hours to approximately 30 organizations across northern Indiana. This year, we’re raising the bar with a goal of contributing 1,000 volunteer hours during the month. We kicked off the campaign last week with two volunteer events. Orville Cocking, P.E., NIPSCO’s Senior Vice President of Electric Operations, led the effort at the Challenger Learning Center of Northwest Indiana, where the team worked on cleaning and organizing the facility. Meanwhile, Vincent Parisi, NIPSCO President and COO, spearheaded a project at the Dunes Learning Center, beautifying the rain and pollinator garden at Save the Dunes. Stay tuned for weekly updates as we work to make a positive difference in the communities we are privileged to serve.

At the Electrify Indiana Conference in Indianapolis this week, NIPSCO's President & Chief Operating Officer Vincent Parisi joined top utility leaders from across the state in a panel discussion on preparing for the future of electrification of Indiana. As we continue to engage in the economic development space, Indiana is well-positioned to lead, particularly in the rapidly growing hyper-load sector. We are advancing our electric generation transition strategy and remain committed to providing lower cost, sustainable and reliable energy to our customers over the long term.

This summer, our team was proud to volunteer at Gabis Arboretum at Purdue Northwest in Valparaiso to spread mulch on the path around the massive Northern Pin Oak tree and remove invasive species in the garden. We’re committed to protecting our environment. Learn more about our environmental efforts at NIPSCO.com/Environment.

We are excited to announce the completion of our third solar energy project. Cavalry Solar, located in White County, Ind., is expected to generate 200 megawatts of solar energy with an additional 45 megawatts of battery storage. This project is NIPSCO's seventh completed renewable project and the next step in advancing our electric generation transition to provide sustainable, cost-effective and reliable energy now and into the future.
