There were a total of 15,170,142 megawatt hours sold via retail sales in 2022 by the company. Of the megawatt hours they sourced, 6,992,292 of them were produced by power production facilities owned by NiSource and 9,499,018 megawatt hours were purchased by way of wholesale channels. The revenue for the company in 2022 from electricity sales was $1,831,876,800, with 0.11% coming from wholesale electricity sales and 94.95% from retail sales to end users.

Luckily, NiSource allows consumers to take part in net metering. Net metering makes solar panel purchases more economically viable as it gives the ability for individuals to sell electricity back to the grid.
Losing electricity from heat dissipation during electricity transmission and other causes is a reality of operating in the electricity generation business. Suppliers must report these losses. NiSource reported an annual loss of around 7.71% of the electricity that they transmit. This percentage of energy lost results in them being given a rank of 1320th best out of 3517 providers who report energy loss in the United States.
