Amidst the chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic, we can’t forget that it’s storm season. Rest assured we have prepared as usual and are ready for whatever Mother Nature brings.

While we’ve seen some material manufacturing sites close down due to COVID-19, we have more materials onsite already to ensure we have what we need approaching storm season.

In addition, our commitment to reliability can be seen in how we design and maintain our overhead system.

We are diligent in our maintenance, upgrades and vegetation practices, which lends itself well to reliability.

Our peers have more underground infrastructure and their numbers show to be less reliable than ours. While underground lines are not exposed to the elements, they do get cut more often than you’d think, which is why we invest so much in our overhead system.

As you know, we pride ourselves on offering the most reliable service possible, so during the pandemic we have tried to avoid letting material shortages affect our growth and reliability. We will keep the lights on before anything else.

With that, we are ready for storm season, however it decides to present itself. Our linemen and logistics crews, our member service team and everyone in between stand ready to ensure we are safely delivering affordable, reliable electricity and providing innovative energy programs and exceptional member service.

ORU grant paying dividends for Newcastle Police Department

T

he OEC Foundation, Inc. approved a $2,981 grant Aug. 15 for the Newcastle Police Department through the Operation Round Up® (ORU) program. The grant provided two dozen highly advanced flashlights for law enforcement officers, and they’ve already come in handy.

“We were able to use the flashlights following an accident on I-44 that occurred around 11:30 p.m. one night in December,” said Newcastle Police Department Chief of Police Gary Norman. “We used them to direct traffic and provide light around the accident, and for emergency services to provide care to those involved in the accident.”

The officers have since used the flashlights for other various calls.

“Our police department had an incident where they needed to use the flashlights to track an individual with our K-9 unit in the woods for about a mile and a half,” stated Norman. “If we didn’t have the flashlights for either of those instances, we wouldn’t have been able to do our job. The community relies on us to keep them safe and everything that has been given to us helps us do exactly that. We can’t do our job without the assistance of The OEC Foundation and [OEC] members and appreciate everything they have given us.”

EC recently received recognition in the national 2020 Spotlight on Excellence Awards program, sponsored by the Council of Rural Electric Communicators (CREC) and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA). OEC received a Silver Award in the Most Innovative Use of Digital Communication category for the 2018 Annual Report. OEC's marketing and member relations team produced the awardwinning interactive report.

“We are honored to be recognized among our peers at the national level," said Autumn McMahon, manager of marketing and member relations. "We work tirelessly to help provide our members with an exceptional experience and we are always humbled when our efforts are rewarded.”

The annual Spotlight on Excellence Awards program recognizes the best communication and marketing efforts by electric cooperatives and related organizations. Electric cooperative communicators and marketing professionals submitted nearly 670 entries in the Spotlight on Excellence program.

“Printed news publications, social media and videos are all more important than ever to keep members updated on issues affecting the electric cooperatives and their members,” added Scott Peterson, senior vice president of communications for NRECA. The CREC, founded in 1982, is a volunteer association that works on behalf of more than 4,000 electric cooperative communicators across the United States.

NRECA is a national trade association representing more than 900 local electric cooperatives. From growing suburbs to remote farming communities, electric coops serve as engines of economic development for 42 million Americans across 56 percent of the nation’s landscape.

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 November 2019.

CAPITAL CREDITS A CO-OP MEMBER’S DIVIDENDS

Unlike investor-owned utility companies that strive to generate profits for shareholders, electric cooperatives like OEC operate on an at-cost basis.

Any profits made by OEC — referred to as margins — are returned to the consumermembers. Capital credits represent these dividends.

OEC board of trustees approves early distribution of capital credits

O

EC’s board of trustees has authorized the early distribution of almost $2 million in capital credits to members of the cooperative who purchased electricity during parts of 2008 and 2009. Typically, these capital credits are paid in October, however, in lieu of the financial hardship some of our members may be experiencing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the board unanimously agreed to distribute them early.

Capital credits are somewhat similar to the dividends paid to shareholders of investor-owned utilities, except the co-op’s “shareholders” are the members it serves, and the “dividends” are the capital credits. It is one of the things that makes the cooperative business unique. [1929103302] Despite a diligent effort to notify former co-op members, there are some who still need to update their addresses in order to receive their capital credits. Please visit www.okcoop.org/capitalcredits and, if you see a name you recognize on the list who could’ve been an OEC member during 2008 or 2009, please have that person submit the online form and any accompanying documents. All address updates must be received in writing.

If you see the name of a family member who is deceased and you are the rightful heir, you can download the form from www.okcoop.org/capitalcredits and return it along with the appropriate paperwork to transfer all remaining capital credits into your name.

Checks will not be issued for less than $25 unless a member has no further refunds due for future years. Refunds of less than $25 are retained until and added to the next distribution.

A full list of names – both individuals and businesses owed money – can be found at www.okcoop.org/capitalcredits along with appropriate forms. Mail paperwork and supporting documents to OEC, P.O. Box 1208, Norman, OK, 73070.

OEC equips employees to find onsite energy savings

O

EC's Green Committee — assembled of employee volunteers — has worked since 2017 to identify and implement a number of energy efficient upgrades at OEC's headquarters in Norman. The committee’s goal? To walk the walk of energy efficiency that we promote to our membership.

So far, the committee has implemented a thorough energy audit that resulted in a change-out of all lighting to LED. Motion-sensored lighting was installed in restrooms, closets and mail rooms across the three buildings.

"We had a company come in and check out our HVAC loads, lighting loads and general usage, then pair those with our energy costs," said Energy Efficiency Solutions Specialist Daniel Lofland. "This showed us where we could best cut energy costs at OEC." As heating and cooling are typically the highest energy users — for both residential and commercial — it was no surprise that conrolling our HVAC meant the largest energy savings.

"Controlling the HVAC has been one of the harder things to accomplish in a commercial environment," said Lofland. "We have done better at balancing the system and are keeping the units well maintained so they are working at optimal efficiency."

In 2018, the Logistics team received a cardboard baler to assist in the recycling process and cut down on the amount of trash hauled off.

Next, we provided all employees with insulated, reusable tumblers in an effort to cut down on our use of styrofoam.

“The board [of trustees] saw the importance of environmentally-friendly, everyday practices by making it a priority and a strategic initiative in 2017,” said Lofland.

The Green Committee is excited to implement a few more changes in 2020, including the planting of bee-attracting wildflowers at our Solar Garden, making it a certified pollinator habitat and monarch waystation.

“These are small changes we can make, but over time they will have a large impact,” said Lofland.

Jeffries, Fletcher named Energy Camp winners

B

ethany Jeffries of Norman and Emma Fletcher of Newcastle were recently named 2020 Energy Camp winners. Energy Camp, a fourday, action-packed camp held at Canyon Camp and Conference Center near Hinton, brings together about 90 incoming high school freshmen from across the state to learn about co-ops, form their own co-op, learn teambuilding and grow their leadership skills.

Tasked with a short essay about what leadership means to them, winner Bethany Jeffries of Norman who attends Community Christian School wrote, "Leaders are not born but are made through hard work and learning from their own and other’s mistakes. Good leaders see what they can do for the people, not what the people can do for them."

Fletcher wrote, "Being a leader is very important and you don’t need to be president or work at the State Department to be a leader. You can be a leader in your school just by doing the right thing and being respectful, showing kindness and being helpful."

Unfortunately, Energy Camp, organized by the Oklahoma Association of Electric Cooperatives, is canceled this year in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. An alternative, virtual plan is in the works.

YOUTH TOUR CANCELED In lieu of the week-long, all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C. this summer, the four Youth Tour winners — Cecilia Alali from Westmoore High School, Taylor McGill from Tuttle High School, Grace Miller from Blanchard High School and Kade Schuermann from Community Christian School in Norman — will receive scholarships after NRECA canceled all activities through June 24.

"We are devastated about Youth Tour getting canceled," said OEC Education and Outreach Programs Director Tory Tedder-Loffland. "While there is no true substitute for the Youth Tour experience, we hope the scholarships will help ease their disappointment. Once a Youth Tourian, always a Youth Tourian — trip or no trip. We consider them part of the co-op family now and we will continue to honor their achievement in any way possible."

ORU REPORT

The evolution of Western Farmers and member cooperatives towards zero carbon energy

C

arbon free resources have been a part of Western Farmers Electric Cooperative’s (WFEC, OEC's wholesale power provider) wholesale power mix for many years, with development and growth playing essential roles in providing a diversified portfolio.

Hydro power was among the first zero carbon energy source to be included in WFEC’s portfolio.

The hydro power generation generally came from the Southwest Power Administration (SWPA) and Corps of Engineer resources in eastern Oklahoma, northeast Arkansas and southwest Missouri. In 2000, outside of these hydro resources, the remainder of the energy provided to our members was from fossil fuel generation, which was a mix of coal and natural gas.

After the new millennium, WFEC’s board of trustees began to consider the possibilities of wind energy as a new power source, (solar was not available at the time), and if adding these resources would over time lower the wholesale power cost to our members. In 2001, WFEC sold approximately 5,425 gigawatt-hours (GWh) to its members at a cost of 4.9 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) delivered to the low side of substation delivery locations.

8

Oklahoma Electric Co-op News • May 2020

RENEWABLES

In 2003, WFEC added the energy produced by the 74 megawatt (MW) Blue Canyon Wind facility, north of Lawton, to its generation mix, through a long-term Purchase Power Agreement (PPA), Since that time, through various wind projects, WFEC has increased its currently available wind generation to 709 MW, with projects in Oklahoma and New Mexico. All of these projects were achieved with the same guidelines of helping lower our overall cost of wholesale power to our members.

In 2016, WFEC, through long-term PPAs added a 25 MW, tilt panel, solar project to its generation mix. This project, (Caprock Solar), is located south of Tucumcari, N.M. Since then, WFEC has added 26 additional MW of solar energy in New Mexico and Oklahoma on behalf of its member owners. Again, the addition of solar was made with the premise of lowering our overall cost of wholesale power.

By the end of 2019, hydro (water), wind and solar generation resources provided approximately 33 percent of the wholesale power WFEC delivered to member owners. At the same time, 19 years later, WFEC sold 11,468 GWh to our members at a cost of 5.4 cents per kWh delivered to the low side of substation delivery points. [8231340201] That is an increased cost of about 12.5% over the 19 years. Over the same period, inflation has increased about 49%. While WFEC’s wholesale power cost did not go down, it increased far less than inflation, while sales increased more than double.

With the strategy to keep wholesale power cost low, where do we expect to go by 2024 or over the next five years? That’s a fairly easy future to predict, as WFEC and our member-owners have PPAs already in place to continue our evolution towards increasing zero carbon energy. These new projects will be completed in the 2021 to 2023 time period and become commercial at that time.

One project is a new 220 MW solar project in southeastern New Mexico that will add an additional 600,000 MWh of energy in 2022. The final project for this period, has three parts. The first part, a 250 MW Oklahoma wind project that will deliver over 1,000,000 MWh of energy will be completed in late 2020. The second part involves a 250 MW Oklahoma solar project, with completion set for 2023, which will add an additional 650,000 MWh of energy. The final piece of this three-part project is a 200 MW battery that can discharge 200 MW continually over a fourhour period to help meet peak load. The battery will be recharged from the solar project for an initial term.

But after that opening period, it can re-charge from

the wind or solar project, or from the electric grid, utilizing the source that is lowest and available.

Once these new resources are commercial, by the end of 2024, WFEC will provide nearly 50 percent of all the wholesale power our 22 members use from zero carbon generating resources. The majority of these current and future resources are a fixed cost, with no escalators in cost over the next 20 years, which helps keep wholesale power costs low for an extended period of time.

By 2025, WFEC may add an additional, modest amount of natural gas generation, in order to keep our generation resources spread out, so as not to “put all our eggs in one basket”. However, any proposed project has not yet been totally evaluated.

What does all of this mean for the future of wholesale power costs for WFEC’s member owners?

By selecting beneficial locations for high output from wind, maximum sunshine for solar, and consideration of positive locations for price, WFEC will be able to maximize their potential. Also, with these projects, WFEC hopes to continue slightly reducing its wholesale power cost to member owners, with a goal of reaching the 2000 wholesale power cost by 2025.

Carbon free resources have not been the only factors allowing for a flattening of costs. The region, served by WFEC and our Oklahoma and New Mexico members, is part of the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) Regional Transmission Organization, This allows for low-cost access to a regional transmission grid, plus the SPP Integrated Market, which allows for regional least-cost economic dispatch of regional resources.

Both are beneficial to the addition of carbon free resources, and their operation and lowering cost.

As one can tell, the development of carbon free resources is not a quick process, and it probably does not lend itself to a total use of renewable sources, as fossil fuel sources to operate during periods of changing wind, water and solar conditions are necessary. The sun doesn’t always shine and the wind doesn’t always blow.

It also points out the value of cooperatives working together with quality Board of Director leadership and direction to provide benefit to the end-use consumer owners of both the distribution cooperative members and owners of WFEC. Doing these large projects individually would be very difficult and likely unsuccessful, however, almost anything is possible when cooperatives work together towards a common consumer-benefitting goal.

With a future full of renewable energy, “the future’s so bright, we gotta wear shades.” www.okcoop.org

A reminder of revised policies during the COVID-19 pandemic

OEC named 2020 Tree Line USA

by Arbor Day Foundation

T

he Arbor Day Foundation recently named OEC a 2020 Tree Line USA utility in honor of our commitment to proper tree pruning, planting and care across our service area.

"This marks our 14th year in a row to be recognized by the Arbor Day Foundation as a Tree Line USA utility," said CEO Patrick Grace.

"Proper vegetation management is a top priority for us — evidenced by our two certified on-staff arborists — and we will continue to maintain our rights-of-way with careful consideration to the vegetation we come in contact with."

Tree Line USA, a partnership between the Foundation and the National Association of State Foresters, recognizes public and private utilities for pursuing practices that protect and enhance America's urban trees. Tree Line USA promotes the dual goals of delivering safe and reliable electricity while maintaining healthy community forests.

"Trees are a critical part of urban landscapes all across the United States," said Dam Lambe, president of the Arbor Day Foundation.

"Service providers like OEC demonstrate that it's possible for trees and utilities to co-exist for the benefit of communities and citizens."

OEC achieved Tree Line USA by meeting five program standards.

Utilities must follow industry standards for quality tree care, provide annual worker training in best tree-care practices, sponsor a treeplanting and public education program, maintain a tree-based energy conservation program, and participate in an Arbor Day celebration.

OEC HAS PLEDGED TO: • Ensure that your electric service continues to be reliable.

• Maintain excellent service to our members while keeping everyone safe by closing our lobbies. Rest assured, you can still make payments via the SmartHub mobile app, online at www.okcoop.org or at one of the dozens of PaySite kiosks located throughout our service area, as well as the payment drop-off in our drive-thru lane at 242 24th Avenue NW in Norman.

• Make custom payment arrangements by phone or on SmartHub. • Temporarily suspend late fees and disconnects for non-payment for anyone directly affected by the virus.

OEC FIBER HAS ADOPTED THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PROCEDURES: • Good Hygiene Practices- All employees will practice good hygiene/hand washing/covering mouth with tissue when coughing/sneezing or the use their arm rather than hands as a continued practice. All employees will be cognizant of and avoid touching eyes, mouth, nose, face.

4 COMMON CULPRITS OF ELECTRICAL FIRES May is National Electrical Safety Month

Outdated wiring and overloaded circuits are the most common causes of electrical fires.

Check the following areas of your home to ensure your home’s electrical safety is up to par.

Electrical outlets: Faulty electrical outlets are a leading cause of home fires. As outlets age, so do the wires behind them that you can’t see.

Any loose, damaged or warm-to-the-touch outlets should be repaired or replaced.

1.

2.

Overloaded cords and outlets: Extension cords are not permanent solutions. If your big-screen TV, home theater system and other electronics are plugged into one extension cord, it’s time to call an electrician and install additional outlets.

3.

4.

12

Electrical wiring: Outdated wiring is another common cause of electrical fires. Frequently tripped breakers, flickering lights and burning smells are clear warning signs. If your home is more than 20 years old, it may not be able to handle today’s increased power load. If you suspect your home’s wiring is outdated, leave this one to the pros and contact a qualified electrician.

Old appliances: Older appliances are more likely to have loose or damaged wiring, which means they’re more likely to catch fire. Check older appliances for damage and determine if it’s time to upgrade or replace. Also check to ensure you’re using appliance-grade outlets. A qualified electrician can help with installation.

ORU grant paying dividends for Newcastle Police Department (continued from page 4)

TASTY TREATS

The OEC Foundation has supported the Newcastle Police Department since 2015, providing grants for various types of equipment including body cameras and flashlights for their 20 full-time officers, one K9 unit and their Reserve officers. These particular flashlights have a maximum run time of 10 hours, are rechargeable and can illuminate 754 feet in front of the officers. An average flashlight can only illuminate about 330 feet. Many law enforcement officers use the Streamlight Stinger flashlights because of their dependability, long-lasting rechargeable battery and lightweight design, making it one of the best and most sought after flashlights on the market.

“As always, OEC members’ generosity allows us to satisfy a wide-range of needs,” said OEC Foundation President Alan Davenport. “They are keeping their donations local and putting them right back into our communities.”

ORU is made possible by tens of thousands of OEC members who choose to round up their electric bills to the nearest dollar each month. Applications – individual and organizational – are available at www.okcoop.org/ORU. Applications submitted by Friday May 1 will be reviewed at the next meeting, scheduled for Thursday, May 21.

Contact Education and Outreach Programs Director Tory Tedder-Loffland at ORU@ okcoop.org or 405-217-6726 for questions regarding the program or application process.
