One of the largest not-for profit electric cooperatives in Illinois, Corn Belt Energy is owned by the members it serves and is committed to providing reliable, affordable power.
Founded in 1938 to bring electricity to rural residents, Corn Belt Energy now provides power to over 34,000 households and businesses in 18 counties throughout Central Illinois. We employ nearly 85 people and maintain over 5,000 miles of line throughout our vast territory. Our electricity is supplied by Wabash Valley Power Association, a generation and transmission cooperative based in Indianapolis, and we supply natural gas to Nicor Gas customers across Illinois through the Customer Select program.
In the past 70 years, our membership base has changed dramatically from primarily farmers to an ever-increasing number of urban, suburban and commercial accounts. While retaining our rural farm heritage, we now serve many of the new residential subdivisions and commercial areas in Bloomington-Normal as well as in other communities.
Corn Belt Energy is a member of the Association of Illinois Electric Cooperatives (AIEC) and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA). Corn Belt Energy has been a member of Touchstone Energy since its inception in 1998.
