Distributed Generation (solar)
Consumers are looking for ways to be more self-reliant with it comes to energy use. An informed consumer is able to make decisions that are good for them, good for the environment, and for their community. Sometimes just knowing what questions to ask is the biggest challenge.
As part of the Hoosier Energy network, we have been adding renewable energy to our purchased power portfolio for a decade. Our wind and solar demonstration projects have served as a valuable resource to our members for nearly 10 years. If you are thinking about adding a renewable power system to your home, contact us early in the process. We can help you ask the right questions of vendors and dealers and our engineering staff will work with you to ensure a safe installation tied to our power grid.
Experience has shown us that solar generation is much more economical in our area than wind power. View our Solar Brochure (PDF).
