- Vegetation Management | SEIREMC
Southeastern Indiana REMC manages trees and right-of-way areas to help prevent outages, protect power lines, and provide safe, reliable electric service for members. Vegetation Management Our communities depend upon the safe, reliable and affordable delivery of electricity. One of the leading causes of interruptions to the safe flow of electricity is trees and other plants growing too high or coming too close to power lines. To safeguard the reliability of the distribution system, Southeastern Indiana REMC has implemented a vegetation management plan to control the growth of trees and other woody-stemmed vegetation around equipment and rights-of-way. The goal of this plan is to balance our society's need for reliable energy with respect for the environment while complying with all applicable laws and federal requirements. Proper selection and placement of trees minimizes the need for utility pruning Trees are responsible for nearly two-thirds of our outages each year Southeastern Indiana REMC trims trees on our electric system on a regular 5-year cycle Trees must coexist with a variety of human-made structures, both above and below ground. Most commonly they compete for space with overhead power lines, but trees also conflict with communication lines, street lighting, buildings, lines of sight, sidewalks, roads, and underground utilities. The best way to maximize the many benefits provided by trees is to plant them where they will not outgrow their space. However, trees that threaten the integrity of utility or other vital infrastructure must be pruned or removed. Stormy weather can blow tree limbs into distribution lines, causing outages, and even toppling the trunks entirely, breaking poles and creating hazards. Limbs and leaves in contact with power lines can conduct electricity, creating a potentially dangerous condition for anyone who comes near. Tree-to-line contact also contributes to what electric system professionals call "line loss." The term refers to electricity created at a generating plant that does not reach its destination, an inefficiency that increases costs for everyone. Southeastern Indiana REMC spends considerable amounts of money every year to trim trees. The REMC specifies to our contractors that all power lines should be cleared at least 20 feet on each side of the power line and 20 feet underneath the line. Experience has shown us these are the minimum distances we can trim to keep a safe, reliable flow of electricity and be cost-effective. Please contact our office if you have trees on your property that could endanger the power lines. Do not tackle this job yourself. Every year amateur tree trimmers are hurt or killed when trying to clear limbs near power lines. Call the professionals at the REMC. Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden Southeastern Indiana REMC partnered with the Cincinnati Zoo in 2011 to allow them to collect clippings twice a week during the months of June, July and August. These clippings are taken back to the zoo, washed and freeze-dried, to help feed the animals throughout the winter months. Helicopter Tree Trimming Highly skilled pilots use a 10-bladed saw, suspended below the helicopter, to trim limbs in right-of-way reducing the risk of injury to tree workers, as well as the time and cost associated with ground-to-sky trimming in difficult terrain and remote areas. National Wildlife Turkey Federation Southeastern Indiana REMC has partnered with the National Wild Turkey Federation to plant wildflowers and grasses in our right-of-way’s when possible

Southeastern Indiana REMC technical support helps members with SEI Fiber internet, troubleshooting, account questions, service issues, and reliable assistance. Technical Support understanding your devices There are several pieces of hardware that provide you with your Internet connection. These include your router, the ONT, and the NID. Router Your router provides the Wi-Fi signals that your devices can use to get Internet access. This is how most of your devices will connect including tablets, laptops, smart TVs and even cell phones. On the rear of your router, there are also four yellow ports labeled ETH1 through ETH4 that you can use for hard-wired connections. If you have a device with an Ethernet port, you can use an Ethernet cable to connect directly to your router. Connecting with a wired Ethernet cable has some advantages including optimal speed and reliability. The one big disadvantage is obviously that you will have wires running between your device and the router. Be sure you use an Ethernet cable with 8 pins on the connector rated Cat 5E or Cat 6. Your router also has a blue Ethernet port labeled ETH WAN. This port should always have an Ethernet cable connected to it. The other end of that cable is connected to your Optical Network Terminal (ONT). Optical Network Terminal (ONT) Your router is connected to the ONT. The ONT is about 9 inches by 3 inches. The picture above shows a white ONT. Your ONT might also be black. The exact location of the ONT in your residence was probably something that the installer discussed with you when your fiber was first hooked up. The main job of the ONT is to convert the electronic signal coming from the router to an optical (light) signal that can be sent across the fiber. You will see a small black fiber patch cable called a “pigtail” coming out of your ONT. The other end of the pigtail is connected to the Network Interface Device (NID) that is mounted somewhere on the outside of your house. network interface device (nid) The NID connects the pigtail from your ONT to the fiber running through your neighborhood and eventually back to the central office. This provides you with your fiber connection to the Internet. What do all these numbers mean? When signing up for your Internet and when using your Internet, you encounter a few numbers related to your service. It is often helpful to understand these terms. Connection Speed 100Mbps, 500Mbps, and 1Gbps When you signed up for your service, you chose between one of three speeds, 100Mbps, 500Mbps, or 1Gbps. These stand for 100 megabits per second, 500 megabits per second, and 1 gigabit per second. Networks transmit all information in bits. A bit is either a zero or a one. Everything that computers and networks do depends on this basic element of information, the bit. Everything you read or see on the Internet is represented as bits. How that works is a little complicated (lots and lots of math), but it works. On Ethernet cables, those bits get translated into different electric frequencies. On fiber cables, they are represented in different frequencies of light. Your Wi-Fi devices transmit bits using radio signals. The speed of your service determines just how fast those bits can be sent across your connection. A 100Mbps service is capable of transmitting 100 million bits of data every second. The 1Gbps service can transmit 1 billion bits of data every second. That’s fast! Wi-Fi Frequencies 2.4GHz and 5GHz A couple other numbers you will come across are your Wi-Fi frequencies. These frequencies are unrelated to the speed of your service. They just determine the radio signals that you will use to get a Wi-Fi connection. Your router supports two radio frequencies, 2.4 GHz (gigahertz) and 5GHz. These radio frequencies are used for communication between your Wi-Fi devices and your router. It is very similar to how an FM radio works. Every radio station has its own frequency. For example, the FM station at 101.9 is transmitting at 101.9 MHz (megahertz). The 5 GHz Wi-Fi frequency is great for devices requiring high speeds. A high-definition smart TV is a great example. It needs maximum speed to provide you with clear pictures and sound. 2.4GHz is a bit slower, but because it transmits at a lower frequency, it can go for longer distances, especially if there are walls between you and your router. If you are sitting on your front porch with your laptop or tablet, the 2.4GHz channel might give you better performance. Troubleshooting Your Internet Connection If your Internet has stopped working, there are a few things you can do to troubleshoot your connection. The first thing to try is rebooting your router and your ONT. The easiest way to reboot them is to just unplug them and plug them back in. After the reboot, wait a couple minutes and try again. If rebooting doesn’t work, double-check your connections. The Ethernet cable connecting the router to the ONT should be connected to the blue ETH WAN port on your router. Sometimes when customers move the router from one location to another, they will disconnect and reconnect that cable but forget to connect it to the blue ETH WAN port. Another thing you can do is to check the status lights on the front of the router and the ONT. From top to bottom on the router, here is a list of the status lights and what they mean. Internet – This light needs to be green (flashing is OK). If it is off, again, double check your connections from the router to the ONT. If it is red, check the ONT status lights (see below). ETH WAN – This light also needs to be green. It indicates that your router is connected to the ONT using the blue ETH WAN port on the back of the router. If this light is off, double check your connections and check the status of the ONT. 5G WiFi – This light indicates that your router is transmitting on the 5GHz Wi-Fi frequency. If the power light is on and the 5G light is off, your 5GHz frequency is turned off. To turn it back on, look on the back of the router. At the top, there are two small buttons labeled 2.4G and 5G. Hold down the 5G button for 10 seconds. This should turn your 5GHz frequency back on. 2.4G WiFi – This is just like the 5GWiFi light, except for the 2.4GHz frequency. The steps to turn it on are the same as 5G except you use the 2.4G button. WPS – This light indicates the status of WPS security. You don’t need to be concerned with this one. ETH1 through ETH4 – These lights indicate if you have devices connected to the yellow Ethernet ports on the back of your router. If a connected device is powered off, the corresponding indicator light may not be on. USB – This light indicates if you have anything connected to the USB port on the back of your router. It is unlikely you will need anything connected to this port, so it is usually off. Power – This light must be green before anything else on the router can work. It indicates that the router is powered on. If it is not on, there are a couple of things you can check. First, make sure the power cable is connected securely to the router. Also, be sure the other end of the power cable is plugged into a working outlet. Plug something else into the outlet to be sure it is working or try another outlet. One other thing to check is the power button on the back of the router just above the power cable connection. Make sure it is in the On position (pushed in). The status lights on the ONT are as follows: VOICE – If you have voice service through REMC and your phone is connected, this light should be green. LAN – This light should be green (flashing is OK). If not, check the connection to your router. The Ethernet cable on your router should be in the blue port. FIBER – This light indicates a proper connection to the central office. This light should be green (flashing is OK). If not, contact REMC. POWER – This light must be solid green. If not, check the power connection to the ONT. Troubleshooting Speed Problems If your Internet connection is working but your performance seems slow, here are some things you can try. Slow performance can cause jittery audio, buffering when streaming, poor picture quality, and web pages loading very slowly. Sometimes a simple reboot of the router and ONT can resolve speed issues. Just unplug both the router and ONT and then plug them back in. Once everything comes back up, try again and see if that fixes it. If you are using a Wi-Fi connected device streaming audio and video and experiencing performance issues, be sure you are connected to the 5GHz Wi-Fi frequency. The 5GHz Wi-Fi frequency provides the best performance. However, if you are far away from your router or have several walls between you and your router, you might actually be better off using 2.4GHz. Another Wi-Fi issue can be frequency congestion. If you have too many devices connected to either 2.4GHz or 5GHz, it can slow down performance on that frequency. Try moving some devices from one frequency to another to balance things out. Another less common issue to check for is interference. Gaming devices and microwave ovens near your router can cause issues. If you suspect this might be your problem, try relocating your router to an area away from interference. Another possible cause of interference is any sort of large metal obstructions near the router. These can include things like metal walls, filing cabinets, or any other large metal objects. Again, relocating your router to another area could help resolve the issue. If you need assistance relocating your router, contact REMC. There are many possible causes for slow performance, many of which have nothing to do with your REMC Internet connection or the location of the router in your house. These are situations outside of the control of the REMC and can include problems with the broader Internet, the server(s) you are connecting to, and the devices in your home. Unfortunately, in these situations, all we can do is wait. You can check your Internet speed using http://speedtest.seidata.com . Perform at least three speed tests, 5 minutes apart, prior to calling REMC for help. Use either a wired device or a Wi-Fi device connected to your 5GHz frequency. (Wi-Fi devices connected to 2.4GHz typically cannot perform better than 100Mbps.) It is important to use http://speedtest.seidata.com when contacting REMC to report a speed issue. Speed tests through this site are recorded at REMC and used to help troubleshoot. If you contact REMC to report a speed issue and have not conducted speed tests at http://speedtest.seidata.com , they will ask you to do so at that time. Router Hard Reset On rare occasions it becomes necessary to factory reset your Comtrend router. In most cases if this is needed, you will be directed by SEI REMC support to do so. If you have made any changes to your router configuration (e.g. Wifi Key, SSID names), these will be set back to the values printed on the sticker on the bottom of your router. To reset the router, you will need something small or sharp. A paperclip works best. The Reset button is located on the bottom of your router in a small hole (see video). With the router powered on, use a paperclip to press and hold the reset button until the power LED turns red. This will take about 10 seconds. The router will then reboot and all configuration settings will be set to what they were when your router was installed. how to contact remc When contacting REMC to report a problem with your fiber service, please be prepared with information about the status lights on your router and ONT. Other reasons to contact REMC include visible damage to cables outside the house or on the road, even if your service has not been impacted. REMC can be reached at 800-737-4111. Member representatives are available to take your calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Problems reported outside normal business hours will be addressed the next business day. Normal business hours are 7:30am to 4:30pm Monday through Friday except for scheduled company holidays. Additional Tech Support
- Patronage Capital | SEIREMC
Patronage Capital Patronage Capital refunds (or also known as capital credits) are retained margins left over at the end of a year at a not-for-profit electric cooperative. Capital credits represent the most significant source of equity for Southeastern Indiana REMC. Since a cooperative’s “shareholders” are also the people the co-op serves, capital credits reflect each member’s ownership in the cooperative. This differs from dividends that investor-owned utilities pay shareholders, who may or may not be customers of the utility. The information contained in this website listing is for general information purposes only. The list of names is provided by “Southeastern Indiana REMC”. Although we will strive to keep the names up-to-date and correct, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, or reliability with respect to the list of names provided on this website. Forms: Individual Claim Form | Business HOW MUCH PATRONAGE (CAPITAL CREDITS) IS BEING REFUNDED IN 2022? Your Board approved refunding capital credits for the years 1999, and part of 2020. The total amount of patronage to be refunded is $1,514,590.85. We typically only refund around 74% of this amount or about $1,120,797.23 due to not having a valid address for some former members. WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM? Member-owned, not-for-profit electric utilities like Southeastern Indiana REMC set rates to generate enough money to pay operating costs, make payments on any loans, and provide an emergency reserve. At the end of each calendar year, we subtract operating expenses from the total amount of money collected during the year. The balance is called a margin. HOW ARE MARGINS ALLOCATED? Margins are allocated to members as capital credits based on their purchases from the cooperative – how much power the member used. Member purchases may also be called patronage. WHY DOES MY COOPERATIVE REFUND CAPITAL CREDITS? Doing so follows one of our seven cooperative principles – Members’ Economic Participation – through rotation of capital. Capital rotation/refund, when determined feasible by the Board, is also required to meet IRS requirements to maintain our 501 C12 tax status. Capital rotation/refund is also used as a tool to target our optimum equity range, which falls between 40% to 60%. If cash is available and equity is on the high end of the range, a capital credit refund to members is an appropriate consideration of our Board in controlling our system equity. ARE CAPITAL CREDITS REFUNDED EVERY YEAR? Each year, the Southeastern Indiana REMC Board of Directors decides whether to refund capital credits based on the financial health of the cooperative. During some years, the co-op may experience extreme weather patterns which significantly affects kWh sales and margins, high growth in the number of new accounts added, maintaining an optimal equity level, rate inadequacy due to inflated costs since the last rate revision, or severe storms may result in the need to spend additional funds to repair lines and restore electric service. These events might lower cash and member equity, causing the board to defer any capital credit refund. For this reason, Southeastern Indiana REMC’s ability to return margins to members in the form of capital credits reflects your cooperative’s strength and financial stability. DO I LOSE MY CAPITAL CREDITS IN THE YEARS THE CO-OP DECIDES NOT TO MAKE REFUNDS? No. All capital credits from every year members have been served by Southeastern Indiana REMC are maintained until such time as the board refunds them. Prior to this year, Southeastern Indiana REMC refunded all capital credits through 1998 and parts of 2017-2019. HOW MUCH HAS SOUTHEASTERN INDIANA REMC PAID IN TOTAL CAPITAL CREDIT REFUNDS SINCE IT BEGAN IN 1939? Southeastern Indiana REMC has paid $30,418,955.23 in capital credit refunds to current and former members to date. HOW OFTEN DO MEMBERS RECEIVE CAPITAL CREDITS? The Southeastern Indiana REMC Board of Directors decides each year whether to refund capital credits. When the cooperative is strong enough financially and the member equity levels are high enough, the board directs staff to refund some portion of past years’ capital credits. HOW WILL REFUNDS BE ISSUED? Members currently receiving electric service will see the refund as a separate line item on their electric bill in March. Inactive members (with capital credits due) will receive a capital credit check. Due to the expense involved in processing printed checks, the minimum capital credit check that will be written will be $5. WHAT IF I HAVE MOVED? If you move or no longer have electric service with Southeastern Indiana REMC it is important to keep your address current, so future disbursements can be properly mailed. Capital credits are reserved for members even if they move out of the Southeastern Indiana REMC service area. Southeastern Indiana REMC will make a diligent effort to send a check to a valid address by mail. HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL GET REFUNDS? Roughly 21,850 currently active members will receive a bill credit on their primary electric account and another 8,550 active members (i.e. Beneficiaries) will receive a check from Southeastern Indiana REMC. More Information We appreciate the opportunity to serve you and thank you for being a member. If you have additional questions about capital credits, please call (812) 689-4111.
