About Us
Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, Wabash Valley Power is a not-for-profit electric cooperative and wholesale provider of reliable, affordable electricity to our 23 electric distribution member cooperatives.

It’s a Deliberately Different approach to the energy industry, and that’s great news for the people who count on us.
