<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>MERRILLVILLE, Ind. &#151; </B>NiSource Inc. (NYSE: NI) today announced net operating earnings (non-GAAP)
of $189.3&nbsp;million, or 69 cents per share, for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2008, a decrease
from $205.4&nbsp;million, or 75 cents per share, for the first quarter of 2007. Operating earnings
(non-GAAP) were $394.7&nbsp;million, compared to $428.5&nbsp;million for the same period in 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">First quarter net operating earnings, compared with the year-ago period, were affected by
non-recoverable purchased power expenses and non-recoverable Midwest Independent System
Transmission Operator (MISO)&nbsp;charges relating to prior periods, as well as increased operating and
maintenance expenses. These impacts were partially offset by higher net revenues and lower
interest expense.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;NiSource&#146;s first-quarter results are consistent with our business outlook and squarely in step
with the earnings guidance of $1.25 to $1.35 per share we have provided for the 2008-2010
timeframe,&#148; NiSource President and Chief Executive Officer Robert C. Skaggs, Jr., noted. &#147;As we
continue to execute on an expansive range of regulatory, commercial and infrastructure-driven
investment initiatives across our business segments, we are establishing sustainable drivers of
long-term earnings and cash flow growth for our shareholders.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Skaggs highlighted examples of continued execution of the NiSource balanced, four-part business
plan in each of the company&#146;s primary business segments. NiSource&#146;s strategy centers on expansion
of and commercial growth in its gas transmission and storage business; regulatory and commercial
initiatives at its regulated utilities; financial management and process and expense management.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Gas Distribution rate cases filed</I></B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During the first quarter, two of NiSource&#146;s largest gas distribution utilities filed for
infrastructure-driven base rate increases. In Pennsylvania, Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania (CPA)&nbsp;on
January&nbsp;28, 2008, filed for a rate increase with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission of
approximately $60&nbsp;million annually, or approximately 10&nbsp;percent. The rate case synchronizes with
the launch of CPA&#146;s 20-year, $1.4&nbsp;billion gas distribution investment program, as well as the
company&#146;s efforts to support legislation that would facilitate the timely recovery of costs
associated with natural gas infrastructure improvements. The increase is expected to become
effective in the fourth quarter of this year.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Meanwhile, in neighboring Ohio, Columbia Gas of Ohio (COH)&nbsp;on March&nbsp;3, 2008, filed a base rate case
with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO), seeking an annual revenue increase of
approximately 6&nbsp;percent, or nearly $80&nbsp;million, with new base rates also expected to become
effective in the fourth quarter. The filing is integrated with COH&#146;s 25-year, $2&nbsp;billion-plus
infrastructure replacement program. The stage was set for the COH rate case on December&nbsp;28, 2007,
when the company reached a landmark agreement with regulatory stakeholders that establishes the
framework for operations under the company&#146;s Customer CHOICE<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">SM<FONT style="font-variant: SMALL-CAPS"></FONT></SUP>
program for the next several years and provides for a wholesale gas supply auction by early 2010.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In addition, the PUCO on April&nbsp;9, 2008 approved, with minor modifications, a joint stipulation COH
reached with regulatory stakeholders that clarifies the company&#146;s operational responsibilities for
customer-owned service lines and risers. The stipulation establishes a recovery mechanism to
collect certain costs associated with the repair or replacement of the service lines and risers.
COH expects to make an investment of approximately $120&nbsp;million under this program over the next
several years.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;A central feature of NiSource&#146;s long-term strategy continues to be synchronization of our
significant infrastructure replacement programs and enhancement projects with thoughtful,
collaborative regulatory initiatives such as those underway in Pennsylvania and Ohio,&#148; Skaggs said.
&#147;Successful execution of these initiatives requires sharp management focus, as well as a
commitment to develop and implement constructive, collaborative approaches to address business and
regulatory issues affecting our company and our customers. I am pleased with the progress our Gas
Distribution team is making in advancing our plans and am confident that we will deliver on our
commitments.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Skaggs noted that on March&nbsp;17, 2008, NiSource welcomed Jimmy D. Staton as its new Group CEO for its
Gas Distribution segment, providing a central point of responsibility for the company&#146;s various gas
distribution operations, infrastructure investment programs and regulatory initiatives in Kentucky,
Maryland, New England, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Staton&#146;s appointment completes the
company&#146;s transition to a business unit leadership approach, with Eileen O&#146;Neill Odum leading
NiSource&#146;s Indiana business operations, and Chris Helms leading NiSource Gas Transmission &#038;
Storage.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Also in the Gas Distribution segment, on February&nbsp;19, 2008, NiSource announced that Unitil
Corporation agreed to purchase Northern Utilities and Granite State Gas Transmission from NiSource
for $160&nbsp;million plus an estimated $25&nbsp;million for natural gas storage inventory and other working
capital items. The transaction, which is expected to close by the fourth quarter of 2008, is
subject to certain regulatory reviews and approvals, including approval by the Maine Public
Utilities Commission and the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>Gas Transmission &#038; Storage growth projects advance</I></B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During the first quarter, the NiSource Gas Transmission &#038; Storage (NGT&#038;S) segment also continued to
develop and execute on a steady stream of pipeline and storage growth projects.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On January&nbsp;16, 2008, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)&nbsp;issued a certificate
authorizing the Eastern Market Expansion Project, a nearly 100,000 dekatherm-per-day expansion of
the NGT&#038;S pipeline, compression and storage network to serve markets in the Mid-Atlantic region.
Four customers, including Washington Gas, Columbia Gas of Virginia, the City of Charlottesville,
Virginia, and Easton Utilities, have executed 15-year contracts for the combined storage and
transportation services. Construction on the Eastern Market Expansion began in April and is
scheduled to be completed in the second quarter of 2009.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">NGT&#038;S also filed a certificate application with the FERC on March&nbsp;11, 2008, to expand its ability
to deliver natural gas from the Appalachian Supply Basin in southern West Virginia and eastern
Kentucky. The $40&nbsp;million Appalachian Expansion Project is comprised of a 9,470 horsepower
compressor station along Columbia Gas Transmission&#146;s existing pipeline system in Lincoln County,
W.Va., enabling it to transport an incremental 100,000 dekatherms of natural gas per day. The
project is underpinned by 15-year contracts with CNX Gas Co. LLC, Equitable Production Co., and
Chesapeake Appalachian LLC. Subject to approval by the FERC, the project is expected to be
in-service during the fourth quarter of 2009.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">An open season was announced by NGT&#038;S on February&nbsp;14, 2008, for the potential construction of the
New Penn Pipeline, which could provide up to 500,000 dekatherms of firm transportation service from
the Leidy storage facilities in Pennsylvania to a new interconnection with Millennium Pipeline
Company (Millennium) in Steuben County, NY.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Also, on April&nbsp;11, 2008, the FERC authorized Millennium&#146;s implementation plan for its 2008
construction activities. The Millennium project is expected to be placed in service in the fourth
quarter of this year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;Our NGT&#038;S team is making significant investments in new energy infrastructure projects that are
designed to provide enhanced supply access and to meet continued demand growth throughout its
market area,&#148; Skaggs said. &#147;Moving forward aggressively with these expansion projects and
infrastructure investments is a key ingredient in our long-term growth plan.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Skaggs also noted that NiSource is continuing its development of a Master Limited Partnership (MLP)
as a key component of its NGT&#038;S growth strategy. In December&nbsp;2007, NiSource&#146;s new subsidiary,
NiSource Energy Partners, L.P., filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC). The MLP&#146;s initial asset will be Columbia Gulf Transmission Company
(Columbia Gulf), a 3,400-mile pipeline system extending from Louisiana to the Kentucky-West
Virginia border.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Skaggs said that Columbia Gulf&#146;s Hartsville, Tennessee, compressor station was severely damaged by
a tornado at the facility on February&nbsp;5, 2008. Since the damage occurred, a concerted effort has
been underway to restore the lost horsepower capacity at Hartsville, on both a near-term and
long-term basis. Temporary compression arrangements are expected to be in place at Hartsville
within the next few months and the permanent solution is expected to be completed during the latter
part of 2009.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;I can&#146;t overemphasize the tremendous and tireless efforts of our NGT&#038;S team in responding to the
Hartsville tornado and managing the horsepower restoration process,&#148; Skaggs said. &#147;While this
natural disaster certainly has been a setback and will delay our MLP initial public offering by
some months, we have a solid game plan in place to fully restore operations at the station and the
NGT&#038;S team remains focused on executing its growth strategy.&#148;
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>Robust Indiana regulatory agenda on track</I></B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Skaggs noted that Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO)&nbsp;remains on track with a
coordinated series of initiatives related to investments in new electric generation capacity and
the mid-year filing of an electric rate case with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Among the company&#146;s key early-2008 initiatives is the securing of necessary regulatory approvals to
purchase the Sugar Creek Power Plant, a 535-megawatt (MW)&nbsp;combined cycle natural gas facility in
Terre Haute, Ind. NIPSCO&#146;s Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), filed with the IURC on November&nbsp;1,
2007, indicated a need for electric generating capacity of approximately 1,000 MW over the next
several years. On January&nbsp;25, 2008, NIPSCO filed for approvals from the IURC and the FERC to
purchase the Sugar Creek plant. FERC approval was received on February&nbsp;27, 2008, and IURC approval
is expected in the second quarter.

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">



<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">NIPSCO&#146;s purchase of the additional gas-fired combined generating capacity is in line with a series
of steps taken in 2007 to address customer needs and set the stage for the company&#146;s electric rate
case, which it will file in the second quarter of this year. Those steps included a settlement
reached by NIPSCO with regulatory stakeholders and large customers resolving matters related to the
cost of purchased electric power to meet growing demand. That settlement included a &#147;benchmark&#148;
provision that governs the allocation of costs for purchased power between customers and NIPSCO.
The benchmark defines the price below which customers will pay for power purchases and above which
NIPSCO must absorb a portion of the costs. The benchmark is based on the costs of power generated
by a hypothetical natural gas-fired combined cycle generating facility using gas purchased by and
delivered to NIPSCO. As anticipated, the benchmark has resulted in NIPSCO absorbing some purchased
power costs that reduced net revenues during the first quarter of 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;It is important to note that our purchased power settlement contemplates NIPSCO adding generating
capacity to its existing portfolio and that the benchmark will be adjusted as new capacity is
added,&#148; Skaggs said. &#147;NIPSCO&#146;s nearly
$330&nbsp;million investment in Sugar Creek will significantly mitigate the impact of the settlement going forward. It
is also important to note that the settling parties agreed to support NIPSCO&#146;s deferral and future
recovery of carrying costs and depreciation associated with the acquisition of new generating
facilities.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In addition to the purchase of the Sugar Creek facility, NIPSCO is working to address its
long-term capacity needs in the form of renewable wind-energy supplies and conservation programs.
Also, in light of BP Alternative Energy North America Inc.&#146;s (BPAE)&nbsp;pending purchase of the Whiting
Clean Energy facility from NiSource, discussed below, NIPSCO is in the process of evaluating a
variety of options to meet its future generating capacity needs.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Skaggs also noted that NIPSCO is nearing completion of its $315&nbsp;million investment related to its
NOx compliance program. The program has included the installation of NOx pollution control systems
at all three of the company&#146;s coal fired generating stations. The costs associated with this
program are recovered by NIPSCO under its environmental tracker mechanism.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;Eileen Odum and her team are committed to providing our electric customers throughout Northwest
Indiana with a safe, reliable, and long-term supply of electricity to meet their growing needs,&#148;
Skaggs added. &#147;In addition, the NIPSCO team is intently focused on presenting, and ultimately
resolving, its landmark 2008 rate case in a manner that meets the needs of the company and its many
stakeholders.&#148;

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Operating earnings for NiSource&#146;s business segments for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2008, are
discussed below.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Gas Distribution Operations </I></B>reported operating earnings of $255.5&nbsp;million compared to operating
earnings of $250.9&nbsp;million for the first quarter of 2007. Net revenues, excluding the impact of
trackers, increased $15.2&nbsp;million primarily attributable to increased residential and commercial
volumes and regulatory initiatives and other service programs. Operating expenses, excluding the
impact of trackers, were $9.1&nbsp;million higher than the comparable quarter due primarily to increases
in employee and administrative costs, environmental expenses pertaining to former manufactured gas
plant sites and other taxes.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Gas Transmission and Storage Operations </I></B>reported operating earnings of $104.4&nbsp;million versus
operating earnings of $107.3&nbsp;million in the first quarter of 2007. The decrease resulted primarily
from higher operating expenses and the impact of business interruption insurance proceeds that
improved last year&#146;s results. Operating expenses increased by $4.6&nbsp;million, excluding the impact
of trackers which are offset in revenues, due to higher pipeline integrity management costs and
employee and administrative costs. Partially offsetting these impacts were higher net revenues
from firm capacity reservation fees. This was the result of higher Columbia Gas Transmission
transportation deliveries from the Hardy storage field and incremental demand revenues from new
interconnects along the Columbia Gulf pipeline system.

million from the same quarter last year. Lower net revenues and higher operating expenses both
contributed to the lower operating earnings. Net revenue decreased by $15.7&nbsp;million due primarily
to non-recoverable purchased power costs and non-recoverable MISO charges, which total $11.4
million. Lower residential and commercial margins in the quarter were partially offset by higher
industrial and wholesale margins. Operating expenses increased by $19.6&nbsp;million due primarily to
higher employee and administrative costs and electric generation and maintenance expenses. A
portion of the increase in employee and administrative costs was due to accounting adjustments that
reduced benefit expenses by $5.7&nbsp;million during 2007. The higher generation and maintenance
expenses of $7.4&nbsp;million were primarily due to planned turbine and boiler maintenance and a
generator overhaul.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Other Operations </I></B>reported an operating earnings loss of $0.5&nbsp;million compared with operating
earnings of $0.3&nbsp;million in the prior year period. These operating earnings results no longer
include earnings associated with the Whiting Clean Energy (WCE)&nbsp;facility. On April&nbsp;18, 2008,
NiSource reached an agreement with BPAE for its purchase of the WCE facility. The transaction is
expected to close within a few months. As a result, earnings associated with WCE&#146;s operations have
been reclassified to discontinued operations for the current and comparable periods. Other
Operations primarily include commercial and industrial gas marketing activities.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Interest expense decreased by $7.3&nbsp;million during the first quarter, due primarily to lower
short-term interest rates and the retirement late in 2007 of high-cost debt associated with the WCE
facility.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On a GAAP basis, NiSource reported income from continuing operations for the three months ended
March&nbsp;31, 2008, of $189.4&nbsp;million, or 69 cents per share, compared with $206.5&nbsp;million, or 75 cents
per share, in the same period a year ago. Operating income was $394.8 versus $430.4&nbsp;million in
2007. The decrease in earnings was primarily due to the impacts already discussed.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In the first quarter of 2008, NiSource began accounting for the operations of Northern Utilities,
Granite State Gas and Whiting Clean Energy as discontinued operations. As such, net income of $6
million, or 2 cents per share, from continuing operations was classified as net income from
discontinued operations for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2008, and $2.7&nbsp;million, or 1 cent per
share, was reclassified for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2007. In the first quarter of 2008,
NiSource recorded an estimated after-tax loss of $96.1&nbsp;million (35 cents per share) for the
disposition of these operations. Net assets for Northern Utilities, Granite State Gas and Whiting
Clean Energy of $397.4&nbsp;million and $481.9&nbsp;million have been reclassified to assets and liabilities
