The company serves residential, commercial, and industrial customers, ensuring that diverse segments of the population have access to energy solutions that meet their needs. Geographical markets include parts of the Midwest and Northeast regions of the United States, where the company aims to address the growing demand for sustainable energy without compromising affordability and reliability. NiSource generates revenue through the provision of utility services, primarily from residential and commercial customers.

Additionally, NiSource engages in partnerships with renewable natural gas producers, creating a collaborative framework that allows these suppliers to integrate their products into the existing natural gas distribution system. The revenue generated from these services reflects the company's commitment to delivering essential energy solutions while maintaining an emphasis on sustainability and community engagement. Specific pricing plans for utility services are determined by regulatory frameworks and market conditions, ensuring that rates remain competitive and reflective of the value provided to customers.
