At Hoosier Energy’s annual meeting in early April at French Lick, Hoosier Energy CEO Donna Walker highlighted the successes of the generation and transmission (G&T) electric cooperative.

The Hoosier Energy Demand Side Management (DSM) program entered its 10th year of helping member-consumers manage their energy use. With a portfolio of seven incentives, the program is reducing summer peak energy demand by 4.3 percent.

Member Focus: It’s one of the eight strategic priorities approved in October by Hoosier Energy’s Board of Directors. Since that time, CEO Donna Walker has met with the boards of all 18 member co-ops.

NRECA designates the second Monday of each April as National Lineman Appreciation Day. Hoosier Energy pays tribute to all Power Delivery Professionals who work at the G&T and among our member cooperatives.
