Chicago Citygate Description: Deliveries into the Nicor Gas, Peoples Gas Light & Coke, North Shore Gas, and Northern Indiana Public Service Co. (NIPSCO) systems in the Chicagoland area. Note: NGI began publishing separate indexes into Nicor, NIPSCO, North Shore, and Peoples on May 1, 2015. However, these changes have had no effect on how we calculate our Chicago Citygate index. Our Chicago Citygate index continues to be a weighted average of deals delivered into those four LDC systems.
