Kankakee Valley REMC
Kankakee Valley REMC is a member-owned electric cooperative headquartered in Wanatah, Indiana.

Indiana Connection, a monthly magazine published especially for Indiana’s electric cooperative members, is one way the REMC informs and educates its members. Indiana Connection is available not only in a print format, but as an electronic publication for those who prefer getting their information on their electronic devices.
