Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO)

MISO President & CEO John Bear took the stage at The Economic Club of Indiana luncheon, addressing a packed room of business leaders and professionals from across the state. From Indiana’s proud manufacturing legacy to the growing demand for electricity, John emphasized how the state's uniquely energy-intensive economy underscores the need for reliable, affordable power. Though Indiana ranks 17th in population, it ranks 10th in total energy consumption—driven largely by its industrial sector. In response to this demand, John shared how MISO is adapting to support the region’s evolving energy landscape. #Energy #GridReliability #EnergyTransition #FutureOfEnergy #CriticalInfrastructure #EnergyIndustry #EconLunchIN

At MISO, service isn’t just encouraged—it’s supported! Employees receive 4 paid volunteer hours each month to give back to the causes that matter most to them. In 2024, our employees logged over 4,200 service hours across our regional offices, partnering with local organizations to make a difference where we live and work. As we gear up for National Volunteer Week, we’re celebrating the employees who used their time and talents to serve—especially our 2024 top volunteers, each of whom used all 48 hours (and often more!) to support their communities in meaningful ways. Check out the MISO Matters blog to meet our top volunteers and see how service strengthens connection, community and purpose at MISO: https://ow.ly/QiNz50VA9GJ #MISOcares #MISOcommunity #TeamMISO #CommunityService #CommunityImpact #Volunteer #Service
