NineStar for Business

Making It Our Business to Serve Yours

NineStar Connect provides our members with forward-thinking energy and communication solutions. We’ve got a century of history and experience driving businesses, powering communities, and warming homes to help us do that. And as one of only two American cooperatives to link electric utilities and communications services, we’re constantly looking into the future.

We’re leaders in smart grid use (using IT-based electric power systems), which lets us plan ahead to conserve energy, reduce costs, and greatly increase efficiency. And we’re combining that with our vertical integration strategy, meaning we supply power to our members from sources we own, which positions NineStar to continue to offer competitively priced and reliable energy solutions in Hancock, Hamilton, Henry, Rush, and Shelby Counties for generations to come.

So contact us. We’re a one-stop shop of consulting, services and affordability for your business, whether it’s big or small.

Moving Hancock Regional Hospital into the Future

The decision about which internet service doctors and nurses at Hancock Regional Hospital rely on is a serious one because the connectivity affects patient care—the hospital’s top priority. Keeping that in mind, we’re honored to have Hancock Regional as a member.

As the hospital prepared for the future of patient care, they knew they needed a stronger internet service that would allow them to connect with their patients no matter what their location—in doctor’s offices or even at home. That’s where we came in, running fiber optic cables to the hospital and supporting Hancock into the future.
