Miami-Cass REMC
Miami-Cass REMC is a member-owned electric cooperative headquartered in Peru, Indiana. As a cooperative, Miami-Cass REMC follows seven core principles that are universal to cooperatives worldwide.

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.
