FTTP Opportunity Jackson County REMC recently secured funding to deploy a fiber-to-the-premises network expanding connectivity to nearly 5,000 residents, farms, and businesses. This indicates a strong appetite for advanced broadband infrastructure and potential cross-sell of high-speed internet services, network equipment, and related IT solutions.

Rural Utility Growth As a member-owned rural electric cooperative serving 20,000 members across a wide geographic area with extensive meter and line infrastructure, there are opportunities to upsell smart grid, remote monitoring, and SCADA enhancements, as well as energy management and distributed generation solutions.

Digital Enablement The existing tech stack includes SCADA, Leaflet mapping, and mobile platforms, signaling readiness for integrated data analytics, asset optimization, and field mobility solutions. There is potential to offer data modernization, dashboards, and maintenance automation to improve reliability and efficiency.

Financial Capacity With revenue in the mid to high six figures and recent loan/grant funding for network expansion, the organization demonstrates financial capacity and a track record of investing in infrastructure, making it a favorable candidate for financing partnerships, managed services, and long-term equipment leases.

Local Presence Serving a regional footprint in southern Indiana with multiple similar REMCs, there is an opportunity to benchmark and package bundled solutions (from smart metering to customer portals) tailored for co-ops, cross-sell with peer networks, and participate in regional procurement programs.
