2021 Reliability Report

On average last year, Tipmont REMC electric service was active 99.97% of the time. Being that close to 100% is certainly a point of pride, but the .03% affords us opportunities to investigate and improve. It’s enlightening to review and recap our electric reliability data year to year. It helps us determine outage causes and […]

Business Solutions for Better Futures

We talk a lot about the importance of Wintek’s residential fiber internet build, and for any number of reasons given the good that it can do for the people we serve. What you might not know is that Wintek also provides fiber-based solutions for a growing number of regional businesses — from international heavy-hitters to […]

Answering the call in tough times

There are nearly 900 rural electric cooperatives like Tipmont across the United States. It’s reasonable for folks outside the industry to presume there isn’t much variety in distributing residential and business electricity. But to put a spin on the old saying: If you’ve met one co-op, you’ve met one co-op. Each co-op’s differing goals and […]

Our Snowfall Strategy

I hope 2022 is off to a great start for all of our members. Even those of you new to Indiana know it’s time to batten down the hatches against winter storms. That phrase originated with sailors weatherproofing ships ahead of driving rain by nailing wood (battens) over doorways and openings (hatches). Tipmont’s tools exceed […]

One is ensuring that what’s right for members most deeply defines all our ambitions and actions. Another is constantly seeking the right people to push us forward and doing our part to support and encourage […]

The time is wise to Winterize

October is a great time to plan for winterizing your home. To even think about such a thing on the beautiful 77-degree day when I’m writing this almost feels like blasphemy. But winter’s icy grip always arrives sooner than we think, and it’s best to be prepared. Early autumn’s mild days are ideal for investigating […]

A Worthwhile WiFi Partnership

It hardly seems possible that the youngest members of our co-op communities will soon head back to school. That return is rooted in such routines as choosing classes or planning for extracurricular activities. While this school year won’t feel entirely the same as in many years past, there will at least be less uncertainty after […]

A different definition of what we do

In 2014, Tipmont’s board of directors revised our co-op’s mission statement to best reflect our purpose: “Empowering communities by providing state-of-the-art essential services.” In basic terms, that means electricity and fiber internet. But our definition dares to go deeper. For Tipmont’s board and the 100-plus people who make their living here, that mission statement reflects […]
