e invite you to join us Aug. 9 for OEC's Annual Meeting and Member Appreciation Night, where you will enjoy a barbecue meal, entertainment and dozens of opportunities to win prizes! All members in attendance who register will receive a $20 credit on their primary electric accounts, along with a new OEC cap and pen. And it wouldn't be an Annual Meeting without the largest prize giveaway you've ever seen. Once again, we're set to give away scores of door prizes, including additional electric credits, and a $1,000 grand prize. Kids will have their own chances to win prizes, as will those who visit the Innovation Expo on the upper concourse. Don't forget, members pursuing higher education can apply for one of three $1,000 Luck of the Draw scholarships! Members of all ages will want to make plans to attend this year's event. Be sure to tell us you will be attending by visiting www.okcoop. org/AnnualMeeting to reserve your tickets. Members without internet access may also call 405-217-6990. Doors will open at 4:30 p.m. and registration will close promptly at 7 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 9 at the Lloyd Noble Center on the University of Oklahoma's campus in Norman.

Western Farmers Electric Cooperative (WFEC), OEC's wholesale generation and transmission power provider, has an impressive renewable portfolio that includes wind, hydro and — recently added — solar. OEC's Solar Garden, located at Interstate 35 and Highway 77 in Norman, began producing power in February 2017, and Tuttle's 40-acre Solar Farm began operation in March 2017. As more solar facilities come online, expect to see it added to WFEC's generation report, increasing the already robust mix of renewable energy sources.

Data collected from Western Farmers Electric Cooperative reflects generation and Southwest Power Pool purchases during May 2019.
