What Jackson County REMC does

Jackson County REMC (legal name: Jackson County Rural Electric Membership Corporation) is a member-owned rural electric cooperative headquartered at 274 E Base Rd, Brownstown, Indiana. It delivers regulated electricity distribution to 20,206 member-owners across a 10-county service territory in southern Indiana, operating and maintaining 2,944 miles of electrical line. Power is procured through Hoosier Energy, a generation-and-transmission cooperative, and the cooperative operates on a non-profit basis, returning margins to members via capital credits.

The cooperative has built a diversified essential-services portfolio around its electric franchise. Its core non-electric offering is fiber broadband internet, deployed in partnership with Adtran across a fiber access platform, Wi-Fi 7 gateways, and the AI-driven Mosaic One SaaS cloud management system, serving 13,500+ broadband subscribers. Adjacent services — operated in part through wholly-owned subsidiary Jackson Solutions, LLC — include monitored home security systems and 8MP security cameras, residential telephone, the GenerLink generator switch, Enel X EV chargers, an Ecobee smart thermostat program, and energy-efficiency rebates and in-home assessments. Member-facing digital infrastructure is consolidated through the SmartHub web/mobile platform and the Command IQ Wi-Fi management app.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring monthly charges: regulated kWh-based electricity tariffs (with a $5 Basic Service Charge increase effective 4/1/2026), monthly broadband subscriptions, and recurring security monitoring fees ($34.95/month), supplemented by one-time equipment sales for cameras and GenerLink devices. Go-to-market is sales-led and community-driven via direct member communications, the Indiana Connection newsletter, youth programs and scholarships, and community donations; service is delivered through a Brownstown walk-in office, 24/7 phone support, the SmartHub self-serve portal, and field service operations for line work and installations.
