Indiana Just Cleared the Full Legal and Regulatory Framework for Amazon’s (AMZN) Data Center Expansion Abdul Rahman Mon, June 29, 2026 at 6:56 PM GMT+7 2 min read AMZN NI Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is one of the best growth stocks to buy according to billionaire Dan Loeb. On June 23, Indiana-based utility company Ni Source Inc. announced that the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) had approved key agreements that support its previously announced partnership with Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) to power new large-scale data center development in northern Indiana. Amazon views the move as a major regulatory milestone for its infrastructure expansion in the state.
According to NiSource, the IURC's June 17 approvals covered Amazon's special electric service contract, the associated power purchase agreement, and the broader settlement agreement between the parties. Thus, the companies have cleared the full legal and regulatory framework needed to get Amazon's data centers on the grid.
The regulator also approved NiSource's proposed generation resources to support the project. The resources will provide the additional power capacity needed to meet Amazon's electricity demand while maintaining grid reliability for existing customers, said NiSource.
