NI Stock Edges Higher After-Hours On Deals With Alphabet, Amazon

• NiSource said that its agreement with the unnamed Alphabet subsidiary would support a large-scale data center in northern Indiana. 
• The service is expected to begin in summer 2026. 
• NiSource’s expanded deal with Amazon will speed up site energization and enable earlier delivery of bill credits to residential customers.

Shares of Nisource Inc. (NI) climbed about 3% higher in Thursday’s extended trading hours after the company announced data center deals with Alphabet Inc. (GOOG, GOOGL) subsidiary and Amazon.com’s (AMZN) data services business.

The Indiana-based utility company said that it had entered into a new long‑term energy agreement with a subsidiary of Alphabet to support the development and operation of a large‑scale data center in northern Indiana.

The company also said that it had expanded its agreement with Amazon Data Services to accelerate the energization of Amazon’s sites.

Deal Contours

NiSource said that its agreement with the unnamed Alphabet subsidiary would support a large-scale data center in northern Indiana, with service expected to begin in summer 2026. The project will be powered through NiSource’s Northern Indiana Public Service Co. affiliate, NIPSCO Generation, or GenCo., which it said is designed to deliver value to existing system customers.

“Our broadened collaboration with our technology partners reflects our dedication to delivering reliable energy solutions without compromising customer value,” said NiSource President and CEO Lloyd Yates.

NiSource’s expanded deal with Amazon to speed up site energization and enable earlier delivery of bill credits to residential customers would also leverage the GenCo model, likely to generate about $1.25 billion in savings for customers. With a planned 340 MW generation portfolio and additional market capacity, the company aims to support rapid data center growth while improving grid reliability and affordability.
