Tim Landrigan - KREMC President & CEO

Welcome!

I want to thank you on behalf of our entire KREMC team for trusting us to provide you with safe, reliable, and affordable electricity.

Since our cooperative was founded in 1939, KREMC has consistently offered some of the lowest electric rates in the state of Indiana. We invest in technologies that help us remain a steady, safe source of power for our members, and we are committed to helping our community grow and remain successful.

As an electric cooperative with over 18,500 accounts in several counties, we are always looking for ways that we can improve our member experience. Our members mean everything to us.

Please let us know if there is any way that we can better serve you.

Very kind regards,

Tim Landrigan - KREMC President & CEO
