As we reach the end of 2022, I appreciate the opportunity to reflect on the year that’s almost gone and the new one to come. LaGrange County REMC takes pride in our efforts to overcome challenges as well as grow a new community-changing service as we serve you, our members. We’ve seen our crews head… Continue reading.

The air is already crisp here in northern Indiana, and we’re headed into a season where creature comforts reign supreme — warm sweaters, fragrant candles and, at the end of the month, fall’s crown jewel, which brings with it tables groaning under the weight of pumpkin pies and perfectly browned turkeys. It’s this time of… Continue reading.

Members are one step closer to fiber-fast, life-changing internet.  We are excited to announce that the LaGrange County REMC Broadband project has reached a new and important milestone. After months of hard work, we are now ready for the drop construction phase. During this phase, our crews will install buried cables connecting our fiber network… Continue reading.

Operating an electric cooperative requires that we focus on delivering on both reliability and affordability — two ideals that can often be diametrically opposed. When you flip a switch, you expect the lights to turn on. When a storm rolls through the area, you expect the electrical grid to be robust enough to withstand all… Continue reading.

I believe I have developed the ability to read minds. Whenever I go out in public, I always know the exact question that I am going to be asked when someone approaches me: “When are you going to have broadband available at my house?” And I can empathize. I’m ready for it at my house… Continue reading.

The holiday season is one of my favorite times of year. I’m the member of my household who is ready to put the Christmas tree and lights up the day after Halloween. There is just something about the glow of those lights in the evening that gives me a sense of comfort and peace that… Continue reading.

LaGrange County REMC isn’t like other utilities — you, as a consumer and a member own a portion of the business. As a not-for-profit cooperative, any revenues in excess of expenses (we call them “margins”) accrued in a year are allocated in the form of capital credits to members who received electric service during that… Continue reading.

Until you pause to think about it, it’s easy to overlook the convenience of electricity. While much has happened since 1936, thinking back to a time when LaGrange County residents went without electricity truly wasn’t that long ago. Today, 85 years later, we’re honored to celebrate our anniversary with you. To help commemorate the occasion,… Continue reading.

Have you ever heard the saying “If you want something done right, do it yourself?” That’s what LaGrange County REMC did over 85 years ago. LaGrange County REMC was the first one to bring power to the rural communities in our area that had been ignored by large, investor-owned electric utilities in the 1930s. Today,… Continue reading.
