IMPA Services
Providing support to member communities beyond power supply.
While the supply of low-cost, reliable, environmentally responsible power to member communities is IMPA’s primary goal, the Agency also provides support to member utilities in other areas.
These services help our members keep costs low by not hiring their own in-house staff, while also ensuring they have resources to train the employees that are vital to their daily operations.
Member Support
With a dedicated staff focused on supporting member communities, IMPA provides a variety of additional services to assist members in all possible ways:
- Training Opportunities and workshops
- Community presentations
- Marketing and communications
- Community newsletters
- Government relations and legislative updates
- Economic Development
- Event participation and sponsorships
IMPA Workshops

Government Relations and Regulatory Activities
IMPA monitors legislative and regulatory activity in Indiana and Washington, D.C., for issues that impact IMPA, our members, and public power. Our government relations team works closely with local, state, and federal elected officials, as well as state and federal regulatory agencies and other appointed officials to communicate the potential impacts that proposed legislation and regulations may have on IMPA, our members, their customers, and municipal utilities in general.

- Legislative briefings and updates
- Coalition building with local, state, and national organizations with similar ideologies
- Participation in and coordination of legislative events and seminars
