Your electric cooperative listens

Participate in Our Survey

As a residential member-consumer, the better we understand you, the better we can serve you. That’s why RushShelby Energy occasionally surveys our members to identify emerging trends in power usage.

With the help of SMARInsights, an independent research firm, we are conducting an online survey to identify the types of heating and cooling systems, electronic devices and appliances you use. This will help us develop plans to provide reliable and efficient electric service throughout our communities.

Participants in the survey will be entered for a chance to win one of five $100 Amazon e-gift cards.

Survey Begins Tuesday, September 8th

About Us

Rush and Shelby County REMCs were formed and began constructing distribution lines in 1935 and 1936. The electric cooperatives were formed by local groups of citizens who wanted electricity installed in rural areas surrounding their small towns and communities. They were granted low interest loans from the federal government’s REA (Rural Electrification Association) to finance the construction costs.

In the summer of 1998, members of Rush County REMC and Shelby County REMC approved the creation of RushShelby Energy Rural Electric Corporation. RushShelby Energy serves more than 14,000 meters in all of Rush County and Shelby County. It also serves portions of Fayette, Franklin, Bartholomew, Decatur, Hancock, Henry and Johnson counties.
