The scorecards can help member-owners compare how different cooperatives approach:

  • Renewable energy development

  • Energy efficiency programs

  • Transparency and governance

  • Opportunities for member participation

Indiana Electric Cooperatives

(Statewide Association)

Indiana Electric Cooperatives is the statewide trade association representing Indiana’s electric cooperatives.

This page lists all REMCs operating in the state and provides an overview of the cooperative network serving rural communities across Indiana.

Wabash Valley

Power Alliance

Wabash Valley Power Alliance is a generation and transmission cooperative that supplies electricity to many REMCs in Indiana and neighboring states.

While local REMCs manage distribution and member relationships, organizations like Wabash Valley make major decisions about power generation and long-term energy planning. Understanding their role helps explain how electricity is produced and delivered to your local cooperative.

Hoosier Energy

Hoosier Energy is another generation and transmission cooperative that provides electricity to several REMCs in Indiana.

Like Wabash Valley Power Alliance, Hoosier Energy plays a key role in determining the energy mix and long-term power supply for the cooperatives it serves.

Learning about these upstream organizations helps member-owners better understand where their electricity comes from and how decisions about generation are made.
