Company Description

About Us
Located in Monticello, Indiana, Carroll White REMC is an innovative, not-for-profit, member-owned electric cooperative located 30 miles north of Lafayette, Indiana. We provide superior energy and related services to nearly 15,000 families, farms, schools, and businesses. Our culture is driven by the cooperative philosophy and the understanding that we are owned by those who work and live in our communities.

As a not-for-profit co-op, we do things a bit differently—and that’s the point. Because we aren’t influenced by shareholders, we make our decisions with our members in mind. That means we put our members first and value things like community service, teamwork. It also means a business model that’s designed for stability and growth. It’s a different approach to the energy industry, and that’s great news for the people who count on us.

We believe what benefits our employees benefits our company. That’s why we put employees first—your health, your family, and your development. These aren’t just slogans: We offer continuing education, health benefits, a 401(k) match and pension plan, and much more. Here are just a few of the things that make our company culture unique:

  • No Sweat
    We offer a wellness program that includes an on-site fitness center for your convenience and well-being challenges.
  • Volunteer
    You are endowed up to three volunteer service days a year as we are passionate about enhancing our communities.
  • Stay in School 
    We value employees who have a desire to learn, so we provide funds for continuing education.
