Description
Southern Illinois Power Cooperative is a generation and transmission cooperative providing wholesale electric power to seven member distribution cooperatives and two municipals in Illinois. Annual revenues are $140 million and assets are approaching $500 million. SIPC owns and operates its own power supply, which consists primarily of coal-fired power plants and simple cycle combustion turbines for peaking, all of which are located near our headquarters in Marion, Illinois. In 2007, SIPC joined with other public power entities and began construction of Prairie State Energy Campus (PSEC). PSEC is a mine mouth coal-fired power plant slated to begin operation in 2011.

Customers
SIPC member cooperatives provide electricity to approximately 90,000 end-use customers. The service area is primarily residential and agricultural although some members have seen increased load from the resurgence of the local coal industry. Total population served approximates 193,000 people.
Governance
SIPC is directed by a 28 member Board. Each member distribution cooperative is represented by their general manager and three of their directors. The Board meets monthly. Click here for a listing of our Board of Directors.
