Oklahoma Electric Co-op News March 23

Last month, we received reports of a rooftop solar panel salesman presenting himself as a certified partner of OEC, which is a false claim to make. While we might not partner specifically with these companies, we do offer a plethora of resources on our website for those looking to explore their distributed generation (athome solar or wind) options.

When you visit our website, www.okcoop.org, the Benefits of Renewable Energy page can be found under the Energy Solutions tab. This page has existed for over five years and, as the industry has evolved, we have added tools and features to it. The page includes links to trusted sites that connect you to contractors, real-time renewable energy production and more. We also staff experts who have conducted extensive research on renewables and are available to answer any questions you have.

We believe it is important to be transparent with our members, which is why we strive to be your goto resource for all your energy needs. Our goal is to provide you with reliable, affordable service, not make a huge profit for shareholders. That’s what makes cooperatives different — we provide you with tools and resources so you can make informed decisions about your energy costs.

Speaking of energy costs, another way we try to provide visibility and transparency is by accurately reflecting our costs on your electric bills each month. As you can imagine, fuel costs comprise the majority of your electric bill, which is reflected in both the energy charge and the power cost adjustment found on your monthly statements. While some of the fuel cost is included in the energy charge, the power cost adjustment reflects the constant variation in fuel prices. I encourage you to visit www.okcoop.org/pca to read an in-depth explanation of this particular charge. Another portion of your bill includes the Service Availability Charge, which covers the fixed costs of providing service — i.e. maintenance, infrastructure, cybersecurity, etc.

These costs are all broken down on your bill so you can see exactly what you’re paying for — an extremely high quality, reliable service. While some charges and costs are combined and rolled into billing components in order to simplify the bill and keep it easy to follow, we strive to provide as much transparent costs as possible that directly reflect what we are charged to distribute electricity to our members’ homes and businesses. As a member-owned cooperative, we always strive to keep our members’ interests first. It’s how we were founded in 1937 and how we will continue to operate into the future. Oklahoma

Washing windows and screens is a great way to practice energy efficiency during spring cleaning. Clean windows and screens make your home brighter by allowing more sunlight in, reducing the need for lamps and fixtures. Clean screens also allow more fresh air in the home when the windows are open to recycle indoor air. Natural light and clean air are energy savers, and they enhance overall health and productivity.

A GIFT

WORTH GIVING

OEC Foundation board grants $62,000 to local organizations, families

In February, the OEC Foundation approved $62,000 in grants to local organizations and families. Grants are made possible thanks to thousands of members who choose to round up their electric bills to the nearest dollar each month. Their generous donations go towards Operation Round Up (ORU), a program that provides funds for worthy causes throughout our service area.

"I think in today's world, we think big companies just make big money for themselves, but we are a member-owned organization, and we're just paying it forward," said former ORU president Vickie Gray. "It is an astronomical reward to know that everything we take in, we're going to give back."

The Virtue Center in Norman received over $3,000 for client

packets and the American Legion Post 88 received $1,500 for Easter baskets for community children. The board granted over $7,000 in individual grants, which will provide a refrigerator, furnace, plumbing work and accessibility remodeling for families in need.

Individuals also received assistance with eye care and purchasing hearing aids.

Approximately 80 percent of our members choose to round up their monthly bills, with the change going towards the OEC Foundation board to disburse. On average, this amounts to $6 per year per member, which helps support various causes and programs.

The Foundation board is responsible for carefully reviewing and selecting organizations and projects that will have the most impact, and OEC is proud to support such worthwhile initiatives.

"Our grants help larger organizations expand their reach to help more people who are struggling," Turner said. "It's wonderful to see how far just a few dollars given every month can go."

Over the last 27 years, ORU has awarded more than $5 million in grants to various local nonprofit organizations. These organizations provide vital services to their communities, including meals, clothes, Christmas gifts and more. 2418300501

In addition to providing essential services, these organizations build community cohesion and support networks. As a result, the impact of ORU's grants goes far beyond the immediate recipients. By supporting these organizations, ORU is helping to create stronger communities and making a difference.

Trust You Can See

Learn more about how we value transparency

by JoMarie Ramsey

Trust between customers and businesses is hard to come by, especially in today's ever evolving marketplace. Many industries face this difference, even cooperatives, but what makes the differnce?

The cooperative business model values the trust our members place in us above all else.The way we achieve trust is a recipe of seven values with which we move forward. Our trust recipe includes core values of transparency, honesty, equity, inclusiveness and service to the community.

Transparency is, in and of itself, one of the most essential ingredients in our recipe. It is more than a positive outcome of good management; it is the lifeblood of an engaged and satisfied membership. It is why we continue to provide published and easily accessible information about our operations to the membership. Members can find most information on our website.

Learn more about your cooperative by reading our six information spotlights.

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A COOPERATIVE:

We often discuss what it means to be a cooperative, something we call the cooperative difference. You can learn more about our dedication to being a good corporate neighbor to the communities that make up our service territories at okcoop. org/about-us/ and by scrolling down to the section titled The Cooperative Difference.

YOUR BOARD REPRESENTATIVE:

A locally elected board trustee represents every OEC member. Each serves a threeyear term. Each member has an equal voice in co-op matters, including those who represent them on our board. Our trustees are selected and voted for by you, our members. You can learn what districts each trustee represents and their contact information at okcoop.org/ meet-our-team/

OEC was built by and belongs to the diverse communities and members we serve.

WHAT MAKES UP YOUR ENERGY:

As reported in our artilce titled Solar Vision last month, alternative energy sources are rising. While oil and gas remain the base of energy generation, our wholesale power provider, Western Farmers Electric Cooperative, maintains a balanced and diverse mix of energy generation. Members can find an explanation of WFEC’s generation practices and percentages of your energy mix at wfec.com/operationsgeneration#operations-generation-portfolio You can also find renewable energy mix percentages in our WFEC section on page 13. This information is published every month in this magazine.

EXPLAINING YOUR ENERGY COSTS:

Throughout the year, energy bills and their fluctuations are often a concern for members, especially in times of high bills like winter and summer. More often than not, the cost adjustment section of your bill can explain noticeable higher costs, but what is a cost adjustment? You can learn more about the cost adjustment, why it fluctuates and who is affected at PCA. Members can also track their electricity usage in your MyOEC app under the settings and usage option.

OUR BYLAWS:

The rules and regulations by which OEC operates, or bylaws, are approved and voted on by you, our members. These bylaws can be found on our about us page on our website or at okcoop.org/bylaws.

Play it Safe

10 Do’s and Don’ts When Using Portable Generators

By Abby Berry

Storm season is upon us, which means greater potential for power outages. If you’re planning to use a portable generator in the event of an outage, Oklahoma Electric Cooperative reminds you to play it safe.

With proper use and maintenance, portable generators can provide great convenience during an outage. However, when generators are used incorrectly, they can be extremely hazardous. In a 2022 report, the Consumer Product Safety Commission estimated 85 U.S. consumers die every year from carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning caused by gasoline-powered portable generators. 0824208604

HERE ARE 10 DO’S AND DON’TS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN USING PORTABLE GENERATORS:

1. DO: Install backup CO alarms.

2. DO: Keep children and pets away from portable generators at all times.

3. DO: Position generators at least 25 feet outside the home, away from doors, windows and vents that can allow CO to enter the home.

4. DO: Ensure your generator is properly grounded. Use a portable ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) to prevent electric shock injuries.

5. DO: Use three-pronged extension cords that are rated to handle the load of the generator. Inspect extension cords for cuts, frays or other damage before use.

6. DON’T: Operate a generator inside your home or an enclosed (or partially-enclosed) space. Generators produce high levels of CO, which can be deadly.

7. DON’T: Open windows or doors while the generator is running.

8. DON’T: Rely on generators as a full-time source of power. They should only be used temporarily or in emergency situations to power essential equipment or appliances.

9. DON’T: Overload generators. They should only be used to power essential equipment. Make sure your generator can handle the load of the items you plan to power.

10. DON’T: Connect generators directly into household wiring unless you have an appropriate transfer switch installed. If a generator is connected to a home’s wiring without a transfer switch, power can backfeed along power lines and electrocute utility lineworkers making repairs.

While generators provide convenience during power outages, they can quickly become hazardous––even deadly––if improperly operated. Before you operate a portable generator, be sure to thoroughly read the owner’s manual for important safety information and tips.

If you have questions about proper use of portable generators, we’re here to help. Give us a call at (405) 321-2024 or contact us at okcoop.org.

A QUICK GUIDE TO GENERATORS

With proper use and maintenance, generators provide great convenience during a power outage. Before you purchase a generator, determine your backup power needs to select the right size. Make a list of essential appliances and devices you’ll want to power during an outage, then total the required wattage.

Approaching the Speed Limit

Find the best internet speed for you

by Erin McKnight

20 Mbps. 100 Mbps. 1 GB. These internet speeds mean little to most people. So how do we know the speed we need?

We measure internet speeds in megabits per second or Mbps. 1 Mbps represents the capacity to transfer one million bits of data each second. 1 Mbps is equal to one small photo. A gigabyte, GB, contains 1000 Mbps or 1000 photos.

Figuring out the speed you need is tricky. Most major streaming platforms, YouTube, Netflix and Hulu, only require 5 Mbps to stream a high-definition movie, but a slower internet speed is not enough to do everything you need. Slower speeds only work if you have one device connected at a time.

Deloitte’s Connectivity & Mobile Trends 2021

Survey found that the average U.S. household has 25 connected devices, more than double the 11 reported in their 2019 survey. This includes laptops, tablets, smartphones, streaming devices and smart home

devices.

“One of the things we look at when people call our office to report low speeds is the number of devices connected to their network,” said senior manager of fiber marketing and subscriber support, Kayla Wade. “Too many devices can negatively impact their bandwidth and slow down their Wi-Fi.”

Every device connected to your network takes away from your bandwidth or the volume of information sent over a connection at one time. The more you ask your internet connection to do, i.e., the more connected devices, the more bandwidth you need.

How do you know what speed you need in your home? Look at how you are going to use it. A general rule of thumb is to see how many devices you use simultaneously. 100 Mbps can typically stream HD video on up to five devices. 1 GB can handle up to 10 while maintaining HD status.

However, this is not a hard, fast rule. Some

activities, like live-streaming video games, use more bandwidth than scrolling through social media on your phone. When in doubt, go with a higher speed. Nothing is more frustrating than watching a TV show buffer for the 10th time.

Understanding the Wi-Fi speed required to properly run a business is a bit more complicated.

Commercial subscribers face several challenges residential subscribers do not. Businesses often use cloud-based software, security cameras and Zoom meetings with remote workers. All these factors impact the required speeds and bandwidth needed to function.

It is more than back-end office processes demanding internet access. If a small business needs Wi-Fi to process payments through its point of sale, buffering and slow speeds can result in money lost. Working with a provider who understands your needs and ensures you have the speed you need is essential.

“Our team spends time getting to know our business partners,” said senior manager of sales and business development, Michelle Hohlier. “They all have their own unique service needs. By getting to know them, we can ensure they have the exact services they need.”

Whether in the home or the marketplace, finding the speed best for you and your needs is important. Look at the things you do and find a speed that can support the activities you value most.
