Power for Independence! The foundation of Independence Light & Power,
Telecommunications is our electrical service. We are proud to be the supplier
of power to the Independence area, and we are continually seeking new ways to
improve and update our service to you. Independence Light & Power,
Telecommunications has been delivering reliable, low cost power since 1893. Our
mission is to deliver world class service for the lowest possible
cost.
Independence Light & Power, Telecommunications uses a
combination of power generation and cooperative agreements with other municipal
utilities to ensure that you continually receive the power you need to run your
businesses and keep your homes comfortable and safe. We also maintain backup
generators to power the entire city in case of outages. When other communities
or surrounding rural electric systems are without lights due to storms or other
potential disasters, Independence will continue to operate with backup
power.
Admin / Office The office team at Independence
Light and Power consists of 4 people and an office manager. The office is
responsible for customer service, billing and all of the accounting. In
addition to billing for our services of electric, cable, Internet and
telephone, we bill for water, sewer and garbage for the city.
Plant Operations We have done numerous upgrades
to our facility and equipment over the years to increase reliability and
efficiency. We have added a state of the art SCADA system which uses our local
fiber to connect the main plant to the west substation. This system also
communicates with switches and power control equipment in the distribution
system. We are able to control these switches from the plant which allows for
shorter outage time.
The SCADA system also gathers information about the
distribution system that we use to make sure we are delivering you good quality
electricity. It also aids in restoring power using our generators during a
total power outage.
We will continue to stay abreast with your needs and
with technological changes that will improve quality and reliability.

Power, Telecommunications, our Electric Distribution team consists of 4 Linemen

lines and equipment in our service territory. Together they have over 52 years
