Operating Expenses by Segment
Details expenses across different segments, providing insight into cost management and efficiency within each business area.NIPSCO’s operating expenses stepped up materially beginning in early‑2024 and continue trending higher into Q1‑2026, consistent with Genco/data‑center buildout, increased generation operations (and the Schahfer federal order) and near‑term operating support for new capacity—this pressures near‑term margins but ties directly to management’s higher capex and rate‑base growth plan. Columbia’s OPEX is more seasonal and episodic, with winter spikes and a post‑2023 rebound likely driven by accelerated leak surveys, safety/inspection work and timing of recoverable costs; regulatory recovery timing will decide whether these are rate‑neutral or earnings‑dilutive.
