Jasper County Rural Electric Membership Corporation (REMC) was formed by a group of dedicated county residents who needed and wanted electricity for their homes, farms, and other businesses
Investor-owned utilities said it wasn’t profitable to provide service to sparsely populated rural areas so our local pioneers banded together to bring power to the rural people of Jasper County.
