It is with great excitement that I introduce you to REMC Connect, our new digital magazine created with you in mind. This publication marks a fresh chapter in how Southeastern Indiana REMC communicates with and serves our members. Designed to replace our print magazine and electronic newsletter, REMC Connect is your one-stop destination for all things co-op, from energy tips and fiber updates to member stories and community events.

Why the change? We wanted to offer a more dynamic, timely, and environmentally friendly way to share the information that matters most to you. Rising printing, paper, and postage costs have made a printed magazine less practical, and transitioning to a digital platform allows us to allocate resources more efficiently. With a digital platform, we can provide updates faster and include interactive features like clickable links, videos, and downloadable resources. We hope REMC Connect will become your trusted source for staying connected with your co-op.

“New Year, New Savings”

Our inaugural issue is centered around the theme, “New Year, New Savings.” As we begin a new year, it’s the perfect time to focus on ways to save—whether it’s energy, money, or time. Inside this issue, you’ll find:

  • Energy Efficiency Tips: Learn simple yet effective ways to seal drafts and maintain a cozy, energy-efficient home during the winter months.

  • SEI Fiber Referral Program: Discover how referring friends and neighbors to SEI Fiber services helps you earn rewards while helping your community stay connected.

  • Safety Spotlight: Equip yourself with the knowledge to stay safe and prepared during the unpredictable winter weather.

  • Member Stories highlighting how your fellow co-op members are making the most of co-op programs to save money and improve their lives.

  • A fun and engaging Recipe of the Month to warm up your winter evenings.

This issue is packed with practical advice and opportunities to make 2025 a year of smarter energy use and stronger connections.

Reflecting on 2024 and looking ahead to 2025

As we close out 2024, I want to take a moment to reflect on what has been an extraordinary year for Southeastern Indiana REMC. This year, we have lived out our mission— “to safely provide reliable electricity and diversified services to the members and communities we serve”— with remarkable dedication and innovation. 

From launching new member-focused initiatives to strengthening our infrastructure, 2024 has been a year of growth and progress. It’s also been a year where we’ve laid the foundation for an even brighter future in 2025.
