For the past 76 years, Hoosier Energy has been responsible for the safe and reliable transmission of electric service to its member systems. 

To ensure it can continue its power supply commitment throughout 2026, Hoosier Energy will maintain regular inspections, and provide required scheduled maintenance and emergency repairs throughout its system. As part of the process, walk inspections, vegetation management, pole replacement, and helicopter patrols will take place.

These efforts may affect a portion of the electric transmission system located on or within proximity of your property. That may include easement areas and rights-of-way.

Reasonable efforts will be made to contact property owners before any scheduled maintenance or if access is needed. However, current and accurate property owner contact information is not always available. To ensure we have your current contact information, scan the QR code on this page, call the Hoosier Energy Real Estate Team at 833-610-7437, or email realestate@hepn.com.

Key restrictions regarding easement areas and rights-of-way 

  • No structure(s) shall be constructed or maintained within the easement area.
  • Vegetation must be managed to industry standards and not present a safety concern to the public or the transmission line facilities.
  • Reasonable ingress/egress to access transmission line easement areas and facilities.

Contact the Real Estate Team (realestate@hepn.com) before any excavation or construction in proximity to an electric transmission line easement area. Members of the team will happily schedule an on-site meeting to review potential plans in order to avoid the possibility of safety, reliability, or accessibility issues. The Real Estate Team is available to discuss any concerns you may have about restrictions or access areas.
