is a member-owned electric cooperative headquartered in Tell City, Indiana. As a cooperative, Southern Indiana Power follows seven core principles that are universal to cooperatives worldwide. Among those principles is one stressing education, training and information.

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.
