Southern Indiana Power

It all began with the Rural Electrification Act and President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1930s. The Act put funds in place for farmers to begin building their own electric lines to farms and homes in the rural areas. These areas had not seen the expansion of privately-owned utilities and municipalities who felt the profit potential was not worth the investment needed to set poles, string wires, and deliver electricity.

Service Areas:

Southern Indiana Power supplies electric power to over 8,500 homes and businesses in the rural areas of Perry, Spencer, southern Dubois, and eastern Warrick counties. We maintain over 1,600 miles of power line..

Specialty Areas:

Now Southern Indiana Power is one of 17 cooperatives in southern Indiana generating and buying electricity as a unit known as Hoosier Energy. Hoosier Energy is located in Blo.
