What drives us
Our Mission and Values
Our mission statement is: “Empower our communities by providing state-of-the-art essential services.”
Why we exist
Our Mission
In recent years, we’ve heard a lot about disruptive technologies; innovations that disrupt, or even displace an existing market. Indeed, the energy sector is on the cusp of significant transformation – alternatives to coal and natural gas, advancements in battery technology and changes in regulation and government policy.
Tipmont’s mission is larger than simply providing distributed electric services. Offering member choice in energy services is an important element to consider. We took action by launching the first community solar array in the state of Indiana and building a state-of-the-art fiber-optic internet service.
Our mission statement, adopted in late 2014, is:
EMPOWER OUR COMMUNITIES BY PROVIDING STATE-OF-THE-ART ESSENTIAL SERVICES.
