At Wabash Valley Power Alliance, we believe the cooperative model creates real strength through collaboration. Founded in 1963 by five Indiana electric distribution cooperatives, we've grown into the 17th largest generation and transmission electric cooperative in America, serving 23 member distribution co-ops across Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri. Our not-for-profit structure means we don't answer to shareholders - we answer to our members, who are also our owners. This deliberately different approach lets us focus on what matters: providing reliable, cost-effective power to more than 350,000 homes, schools, farms, and businesses while maintaining $1.3 billion in assets and earning an "A" credit rating.
We're building a future that balances reliability with environmental responsibility. Our team operates 24/7 from our state-of-the-art Indianapolis headquarters, monitoring the energy grid and managing a diverse power supply portfolio that includes natural gas, coal, and renewables. We've developed a decarbonization strategy targeting 50% carbon reduction by 2031 and net zero by 2050. Through our POWER MOVES program, we've awarded over $32 million in incentives to help co-op members save energy and money. Our people thrive on solving complex challenges together - whether that's integrating edge-of-grid technologies, supporting economic development in our communities, or ensuring the lights always come on when our members flip the switch.
