The record, newest first

  1. Takanock files testimony in IURC Cause No. 46183 describing its roughly 1.5 GW project and the dispute over connecting it. (Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, April 1, 2025)

  2. According to Takanock's testimony, NIPSCO offers to study only one option: two new 345 kV lines running more than 15 miles. (Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, April 1, 2025)

  3. According to Takanock's testimony, NIPSCO calls its application incomplete and separately says no end user is identified on it. (Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, April 1, 2025)

  4. Takanock testifies that it first approached NIPSCO about serving the site in this month. (Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, April 1, 2025)

Conflicts and open questions

  • This account is Takanock's side of a contested docket; NIPSCO's response was not reviewed. The case itself is a NIPSCO Generation petition on commission jurisdiction, in which Takanock intervened.
  • Coordinates are county-level only. The testimony names no town.
  • Whether Takanock has dropped the project is unconfirmed.

The full record

Status note
In April 2025 testimony at the IURC, Takanock described an impasse with NIPSCO over how to connect the site. Stalled is our reading of that testimony; no later record of the project's status was opened.
Power note
Takanock's testimony describes NIPSCO's response as sized for an estimated 1.5 GW of data center load; its own modeling shows about 1,350 MW available on the line.
