Government Relations

During the 1930s, President Franklin Roosevelt and the United States Congress played a key role in bringing electricity to rural America. Today, the federal and state governments affect all aspects of the electric cooperative’s ability to serve its consumers.

We are your voice with policy-makers at the state and federal level. Through a many-faceted and comprehensive program, we strive to ensure the interests of our cooperatives are represented in legislative initiatives.

We advance the interests of Indiana’s electric cooperatives with a staff who:

• Actively participates in the development of policy positions and legislative proposals.
• Lobbies a wide variety of legislative proposals that impact our members’ ability to provide electric energy and other services.
• Monitors and anticipates issues that could affect cooperatives.
• Administers programs to assist lawmakers and other elected officials in understanding and supporting electric cooperatives.
• Provides outreach to cooperatives’ boards and employees for education on the political process and issues.
• Involves cooperatives in all aspects of grassroots lobbying.
