Change is inevitable. That’s the reason South Central Indiana REMC was founded in 1939. More than seven decades later, change isn’t only inevitable, it is moving at a faster pace than ever, especially in the world of utilities.
One thing SCI’s founders saw as a priority then is something that hasn’t changed today – members are the top priority.
A cooperative doesn’t work without its members, which is why SCI operates with the seven cooperative principles in mind. These principles have their roots in the first modern cooperative founded in Rochdale, England, in 1844.
The principles are member-centric, especially the first three: (1) Open and voluntary membership; (2) Democratic member control; (3) Members’ economic participation. Those are crucial drivers for the South Central Indiana REMC annual meetings, including the recent 2025 edition.
SCI is continually improving efficiencies in order to better meet members’ needs and strengthen the services provided.
One of the fastest-growing services is SCI Fiber. With the initial fiber build complete, the focus is now on expanding access to reliable, high-speed internet to even more homes and businesses.
In the past two years, unprecedented severe storms have required SCI to take a closer look at its system and explore new ways to improve reliability and safety for its members.
To that end, SCI also continues to expand the safety resources available to members.
In the coming months, this newsletter will take a more in-depth look at these areas.
We appreciate each one of our members and are thankful for the rich history of the REMC.
