For more than 50 years, NIPCO’s Energy Trail Tours have given cooperative members a behind-the-scenes look at how electricity is generated and delivered. From power plants to wind education, these tours build understanding, pride, and a stronger connection to the cooperative difference.

Touchstone Energy co-ops are back at the Iowa State Fair, connecting with members and sharing the cooperative difference. Stop by the 4-H Exhibits Building to learn more about the power of local electric co-ops, enjoy a cool break, and see why this annual tradition matters to Iowa communities.

As demand for digital services grows, data centers are becoming an important part of the energy conversation. For NIPCO and our member cooperatives, these large-load projects can support grid investments, improve reliability, and bring long-term value to western Iowa communities. With thoughtful planning and policies in place, we can meet emerging energy needs while protecting member-consumers.
