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.
