Here’s a quick update on NIPSCO Goshen.
- Local news in late 2025 covered NIPSCO’s plan to relocate its Goshen operations center from Kercher Road to a site west of State Road 15, north of County Road 142 in New Paris, Indiana, amid some neighborhood opposition. This move would accommodate outdoor storage for poles and gas pipes and reflects the utility’s ongoing site optimization efforts in the region.[1]
- Power outages have affected Goshen in the recent past, with reports in 2025 noting outages and subsequent restoration for hundreds to thousands of customers, highlighting ongoing reliability challenges that often accompany infrastructure changes in the area.[2]
If you’d like, I can pull more recent local coverage or traffic/power outage updates for Goshen and nearby areas, or summarize any public meeting notes about NIPSCO’s Goshen operations.
