Posted

Crawfordsville Electric Light & Power is proud to celebrate its 135th anniversary of providing safe and reliable power to the community. To commemorate this milestone, CEL&P is unveiling a brand-new logo symbolizing the utility’s enduring commitment to progress, customer service, and community connection.

Since its establishment in 1890, CEL&P has been an integral part of the Crawfordsville community. Throughout its 135 years of service, the utility has grown alongside the city, continually adapting to the changing energy landscape while maintaining a strong focus on customer satisfaction and environmental responsibility.

“We are incredibly proud to celebrate 135 years of service to Crawfordsville,” said Allison Huenemann, General Manager of CEL&P. “Our success over the years has been made possible by the trust and support of the community, as well as the hard work and dedication of our employees. This anniversary is not just about looking back on our rich history; it’s also about looking forward to the future, and the new logo is a reflection of that forward-thinking spirit.”

The new logo incorporates elements that represent both the utility’s long-standing history and its vision for the future. The logo design process incorporated feedback from the entire CEL&P team — from leadership to frontline employees — and how every employee plays an essential role in powering the community. The design blends modern, clean lines with a subtle reference to energy, creating a fresh, vibrant symbol for the next chapter of CEL&P’s journey.

“Designing the new logo was an exciting process,” said Andrea McArthur, a member of the design team. “We wanted to create something that not only represented the legacy of CEL&P but also reflected our commitment to modernization and long-term viability. It was a true team effort, and we are thrilled to share the result with our community.”

In addition to unveiling the new logo, CEL&P will host a series of anniversary events throughout the year, aimed at giving back to the community and engaging with residents. Follow CEL&P on social media @cvillepower or visit www.celp.com for up-to-date anniversary celebration information.

“As we celebrate this major milestone, we remain deeply committed to our core values of reliability, innovation, and community partnership,” Huenemann said. “We look forward to continuing to serve Crawfordsville for many years to come, and to building a brighter future for the generations that follow.”
