Summary
Prairie Power, Inc.
utility cooperative wholesale transmission
PRAIRIEPOWER is held by Prairie Power, Inc.
What it's used for
- The space carries internal corporate infrastructure, evidenced by the netname
PPI-INTERNETand reverse DNS recordebill.shelbyelectric.cooppointing to a member cooperative's billing system. - The AS announces 256 IPv4 addresses within a single /24 prefix (
198.133.143.0/24) and maintains 2 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with a small, self-contained corporate network rather than a transit or access provider. - Traffic from this AS consists of internal administrative, billing, and operational systems for Prairie Power, Inc., a not-for-profit electric generation and transmission cooperative that supplies wholesale electricity to 10 distribution cooperatives in central Illinois.
Notable
- The RDAP registrant
Prairie Power, Inc.matches the AS holder, confirming direct ownership of the address space. - Prairie Power, Inc. was previously known as the Soyland Power Cooperative before adopting its current name.
- The address inventory is minimal, consisting of a single /24 block with no announced IPv6 prefixes, reflecting the limited external footprint of a wholesale utility's internal network.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-27, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 447 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
