Original: NIPSCO Left Gary Off Its Storm Map — Then Apologized Under a $1M-a-Day Fine Warning
Utility NIPSCO omitted the city of Gary, Indiana, from a storm restoration map during recent severe weather, prompting public backlash. The company apologized amid pressure as the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission can fine utilities up to $1 million a day for violations. Residents said the omission left them without information on power outages and restoration efforts during the storm.
Why now: The omission of a majority-Black city from outage information during a storm raised accusations of neglect and prompted regulatory threats.
