Hendricks Power loves serving our community

Providing electricity is just the beginning—Hendricks Power is committed to empowering our community in various ways.

With its Seven Cooperative Principles at heart, Hendricks Power embraces its love and commitment to the community. Valentine's Day provides the perfect moment to celebrate HPC's dedication to its members. We work hard to support local economic development projects, youth programs and scholarships, charitable giving initiatives, and additional programs that make our community a better place to call home. Here are a few ways HPC supports its community year-round.

Youth Programs - Hendricks Power annually awards six $1,500 scholarships to deserving high school seniors. Local students have the opportunity to be sponsored for the week-long Youth Tour to Washington D.C. or Camp Kilowatt, a retreat filled with summertime activities. 

Community Service Days - Hendricks Power hosts a community service day and invites its employees to make an impact in their community. This year's project assisted Cloverdale Main Street's beautification efforts. The team partnered with Cloverdale High School to collect trash at the cemetery, rake leaves, clean out the historic Ice House, and hang festive lights. It isn't just a day; year-round, we look for ways to impact the community.

Community Sponsorships - Pittsboro Elementary School Robotics team, Just Be Kind Club, Susie's Place Child Advocacy Centers, Volunteer Fire Departments, Hendricks County Senior Services, leadership programs, community events, humane societies; you name it, Hendricks Power is a proud supporter of various local organizations.

Community Outreach - HPC awarded two teachers the Empowering Students Award, which was created to recognize and give back to the professionals developing our youth. HPC collected non-perishable food items to distribute to local blessing boxes and built its own box in front of its office.

Legislative Breakfasts - Hendricks Power is proud to co-sponsor four Legislative Breakfasts that offer residents an opportunity to hear what's happening during session at the statehouse and ask questions.

Annual Meeting & Elections - Being a member-owned cooperative means that the most critical decisions are made by our Board of Directors, who are members just like you. The annual election allows members to vote in a democratic process to elect board members that best reflect their own interests.

Informational Demonstrations - Hendricks Power hosts community safety and electric vehicle demonstrations for events, schools, and other non-profit organizations. This year, the co-op hosted multiple field trips for local homeschool students to learn about electrical safety. We also hosted safety programs for the schools, Indiana Law Enforcement Academy, Putnam County Fair, and many other organizations. Members can also request complimentary demonstrations for their event or organization.

Energy Audits - HPC offers complimentary energy audits from our Building Performance Institute certified Energy Advisors to assist members with energy efficiency. These audits give members strategies to help save electricity.
