NiSource lost $44.3 million ($0.14/share) in the second quarter, with company officials pinning the sagging earnings on an expensive debt-related charge.

NiSource owes its “strong” first-quarter performance to the success of its infrastructure spending strategy, according to CEO Joseph Hamrock.

The Indiana Senate approved a controversial bill that would phase out the state’s retail net metering program, moving it to the House.

NiSource is holding firm to its plan to retire half of its coal generation by 2023 while increasing infrastructure spending from already record levels.
