Mark your calendars for the 2019 Annual Meeting & Member Appreciation Night
S
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.

Resource and informational booths will be set up so members can learn about all of our programs and offerings, including OEC Fiber. The Kids' Zone will welcome kids of all ages for games, prizes and fun, as well!
