About Us

Owned by those we serve

Since 1936, Hendricks Power Cooperative has been more than just an energy provider; we are a member-owned, not-for-profit cooperative built by the community, for the community. While the technology we use has evolved over the decades, our mission remains the same: to provide energy and services to support our communities.

The Cooperative Advantage

As a cooperative, we operate differently from other utilities. We don’t have distant shareholders demanding profits. Instead, we are owned by you—the members who use our services.
 
Local Governance
We are guided by a Board of Directors composed of nine member-owners elected by the membership. These neighbors represent your interests and ensure the cooperative remains financially stable and community-focused.
 

Your Equity: Capital Credits
Because we are not-for-profit, any "margins" (revenue left after expenses) are allocated back to our members. This is known as Capital Credits. When you pay your bill, you aren't just buying power—you are investing in the infrastructure of your own cooperative.


Cooperative Principles

Concern for Community

"Concern for Community" isn't just a principle; it's our practice. We believe that a strong cooperative leads to a stronger community.

  • Operation Round Up: Through the voluntary "rounding up" of monthly bills, our members have donated thousands of dollars to local non-profits, fire departments, and food pantries.
  • Community Sponsorships & Support: Being a community partner means supporting local nonprofits that improve the quality of life for community members. That's why we sponsor local nonprofits and events. It takes more than electricity to power a community. 
  • Investing in Youth: We are dedicated to the next generation through annual scholarships, the Indiana Youth Tour to Washington D.C., and Camp Kilowatt leadership programs.
  • Economic Development: We partner with local leaders to support projects that bring jobs and sustainable growth to west-central Indiana.

Powering the Future

We are committed to balancing reliability with innovation. From our POWER MOVES® energy efficiency incentives to our commitment to renewable energy transitions, we are working to ensure that our grid is as sustainable as it is dependable.
