NIPSCO’s Reynolds Topeka Electric System Improvement Project is a new 100-mile electrical transmission line, which starts in Reynolds, IN and ends in Topeka, IN connecting NIPSCO’s preexisting substations. This $270 million dollar transmission line will cross seven counties in Northern Indiana: White, Pulanski, Starke, Marshall, Kosciusko, Elkhart, and LaGrange. The new line will improve Indiana’s access to wind and solar renewable energy and will potentially lower the cost of energy and reduce greenhouse gases. Construction is anticipated to start later this year (2014) and scheduled to be in service by 2018.
