Boone Power
Boone Power is a member-owned electric cooperative headquartered in Lebanon, Indiana. As a cooperative, Boone Power follows seven core principles that are universal to cooperatives worldwide. Among those principles is one stressing education, training and information. Indiana Connection, a monthly magazine published especially for Indiana’s electric cooperative members, is one way the REMC informs and educates its members. Indiana Connection is available not only in a print format, but as an electronic publication for those who prefer getting their information on their electronic devices.

Putting skills to the test
When you see a Boone Power lineman high above the ground, there is a lot more happening than climbing a pole and stringing wire.

Those were the types of skills… Continue reading.
