CEO ADDRESS

In his book Power Plays, author Ted Case outlines the historic origins of electric cooperatives in America and reminds readers that the movement to electrify rural America was born in politics. A House Bill that made its way through the Oklahoma Legislature in April reminded us of the role politics continues to play 85 years later.

You might recall receiving an email from us last month asking you to contact your legislator in regards to HB 3835, a bill that — in its original language — would've seen OEC and other electric co-ops subsidizing the costs for investor-owned telecommunications companies to attach to our poles. When we needed to ensure our legislators' understanding aligned with ours, you answered the call to help us inform them. The impact of your collective voices got their attention and, in the end, we believe the outcome benefitted both the members and OEC Fiber subscribers.

We are not a political organization, we are a utility. We reserve those calls-to-action to very specific needs that arise periodically that pose a threat to the cooperative and thus its members. Our statewide association, Oklahoma Association of Electric Cooperatives (OAEC), exists to serve as a unified voice for electric co-ops. This includes looking out for memberowners' best interests, like policies or potential laws that could be created that negatively affect electric co-ops across Oklahoma and their members. OAEC staff spearheaded the statewide effort and, as a result, over 3,500 co-op members from across the state took action, emailing and calling their legislators and sharing social media posts.

We appreciate all those who took the time to contact your representative. It is proof that the co-op model is still relevant, effective and is aligned with our overall mission to increase the quality of life through the safe delivery of highly reliable, reasonably priced electric service, innovative energy programs and exceptional member service.

Even in summer months, adding insulation to your attic can keep your home more comfortable and save energy used by your cooling system. If your attic insulation is level with or below your floor joists (meaning you can easily see your joists), you should add more.

If you can’t see any of the floor joists because the insulation is well above them, you likely have enough insulation. Attic insulation should be evenly distributed with no low spots. Make sure the areas along the eaves are adequately covered.

RESTORING POWER

SAFELY & EFFICIENTLY

By Abby Berry We do our best to avoid them, but there’s no way around it: power outages occasionally happen.

For most OEC members, outages are rare and only last a few hours (see page 10 for our exact 2021 numbers). But when major storms, like tornadoes or severe thunderstorms with straight line winds or hail impact our area, extended outages are unavoidable.

So when the power goes out, how do OEC crews know where to start working?

How do you know if your outage has been reported? We’ve got answers to these questions and more, and it all starts with a safe, efficient plan for power restoration.

When the lights go out and it’s safe for our crews to begin the restoration process, they start by repairing power lines and equipment that will restore power to the greatest number of people in the shortest time possible.

This process typically begins with repairs to the larger main distribution lines that service a great number of homes and businesses. After those repairs are made, crews work on tap lines, which deliver power to transformers, either mounted on utility poles (for above-ground service) or placed on pads (for underground service).

Finally, individual service lines that run between the transformer and the home are repaired. [6101312311] We can’t control the weather, but we can prepare for it. OEC keeps a supply of extra utility poles, transformers and other equipment on hand so we can quickly get to work in the event of an outage. When widespread outages occur, multiple crews will be out in the field simultaneously working to repair damage at multiple locations.

Our crews live in the areas we serve so they can respond as quickly as possible. We also coordinate with nearby co-ops to bring in additional crews when necessary.

A proactive approach to maintenance helps minimize the chance of prolonged outages; this is why you see OEC crews periodically trimming trees and clearing vegetation near rights-of-way. We love trees too, but it only takes one overgrown limb to knock out power for an entire neighborhood. Trimming improves power reliability for our entire community. In addition to managing vegetation, we regularly inspect utility poles, power lines and other critical equipment to maintain a more reliable system.

If you experience a power outage, don’t assume a neighbor reported it. It’s best

4

Oklahoma Electric Co-op News • May 2022

to report the outage yourself, and we make it easy to do. The quickest way to report an outage is through our My OEC mobile app. You can also call our outage reporting number at 405-321-2024.

If you have a medical condition that requires electrical equipment, please let us know, and always have a backup plan in place. This plan could include a portable generator, extra medical supplies or moving to an alternate location until power is restored. If you plan to use a generator for backup power, read all safety information and instructions before use.

Mother Nature can be unpredictable, but as a member of OEC, you can feel confident knowing we’re standing by, ready to restore power as quickly and safely as possible.

Abby Berry writes on consumer and cooperative affairs for the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, the national trade association representing more than 900 local electric cooperatives. From growing suburbs to remote farming communities, electric co-ops serve as engines of economic development for 42 million Americans across 56% of the nation’s landscape.

The Steps to Restoring Power When a major outage occurs, our crews restore service to the greatest number of people in the shortest time possible – until everyone has power.

1. High-Voltage Transmission Lines These lines carry large amounts of electricity. They rarely fail but must be repaired first.

2. Distribution Substations Crews inspect substations, which can serve hundreds or thousands of people.

3. Main Distribution Lines Main lines serve essential facilities like hospitals and larger communities.

4. Individual Homes and Businesses After main line repairs are complete, we repair lines that serve individual homes and businesses.

OEC Fiber helps build a more reliable electric grid

Oklahoma Electric Co-op News • May 2022

Electric System,” said OEC manager of system engineering, Nick Shumaker. “It is our in-house project for building a better grid.”

The electric grid is an elaborate network of lines, poles and other devices that deliver power to your home. It is carefully constructed to function in the safest, most efficient way possible using a combination of sturdy equipment and technological innovation. A disruption at any point in the chain can cause an outage.

“Eighty-five percent of outages that happen in the United States are temporary,” Shumaker said.

These can be caused by anything from a tree branch falling onto a line or a squirrel finding its way into a transformer. The grid is designed

utages are frustrating for everyone. OEC works hard to keep power disruptions to a minimum. We are among the top co-ops in the nation regarding outage times, but we want to do more. We are constantly working to find new ways to increase our reliability.

OEC Fiber is known for the internet, phone and TV services we provide, but one of the largest benefits to building a 100% fiber network throughout OEC territory is the ability for OEC to revolutionize the way we manage our electric system. The fiber-powered ACES Project is our latest step in reducing outages and building a more reliable grid.

efficiently in outage situations.

Say you have 1,000 people experiencing an outage. The crew responding to that outage must find the cause and isolate that section of line before working to restore service. ACES-enabled areas are able to not only cut down on the time those members will be out by rerouting the power to their homes, but it also helps the crew identify N 8th

to sense these disruptions. It quickly opens and closes the connection to allow the issue to resolve itself before the energy can back build, resulting in more permanent damage.

“In the same way that the breakers in your house will open up if something abnormal is going on, that is exactly what happens on the electric grid today. If you can open and wait two seconds, that branch falls to the ground.

Squirrel falls to the ground. Maybe the very high wind gust is gone, and now you don’t have any permanent damage. You don’t have anyone out of power.”

The ability to rapidly open and close connections on power lines is great for stopping these seemingly small outage occurrences. But what about the big stuff?

What can OEC do to prevent an outage when a car hits a pole or a storm system takes out an entire block? That’s where OEC Fiber and the ACES Project steps in.

“If a pole has been knocked down, there’s certain people who can’t get back online until you bring that pole up and do some construction, but for a vast majority of people, if you were able to reroute power from another power station that doesn’t have any issues, you can bring those people back online,” Shumaker said.

That is what the ACES Project does. It uses a series of devices connected to the OEC Fiber network called reclosers to almost instantaneously reroute power. They act as pivot points to help direct the flow of electricity along power lines to restore power to as many people as possible before a crew has arrived at the outage site.

“Before we can call our crews, the switching’s complete,” said Bobby Herring, OEC manager of maintenance. “If we have an outage, it knows where the problem is at.

It isolates the problem and then back feeds all the line possible by opening and closing switches within seconds. We strategically put devices in place [to reroute power]. It does all the switching and cuts our outage times basically in half.”

While it may not instantly restore power to everyone, this network of automatic switches allows crews to respond more quickly and

the cause by narrowing their search area. The quicker the cause of an outage is identified, the quicker it can be resolved.

The ACES Project is still in the pilot phase.

It includes 11 devices impacting four electric feeders and three substations in the Norman and Noble area. Since the project launched in October of 2021, this area has seen an outage reduction of nearly 40%.

“We worked on this project all of 2021 and got it online in October. Even in that small time, we’ve been able to save almost 2,000 people from outages and almost 63,000 minutes of outage time,” Shumaker said. continued on page 8 >> www.okcoop.org

Let’s break that number down. Sixty three thousand minutes. That is 1,050 hours.

That means nearly 43 days’ worth of outages have been prevented since October 2021. That is incredible!

A perfect example of this was an outage on October 1, 2021. Western Farmers, our energy supplier, experienced an outage that resulted in a loss of power to one of our substations.

“We lost transmission,” Herring said. “The sub opened, so this whole line was dead.”

Substations are the first part of the OEC power grid. An outage to a substation shuts everything connected to it down. Depending on the cause, these outages could take hours or even weeks to be resolved. With the ACES Project, OEC avoided a long-lasting outage and instantly restored power to a large number of our members.

“It picked that whole feeder up. So, there were 1,400 people off for less than 20 seconds,” Herring said.

All of these numbers show how revolutionary the ACES Project is, but they raise a question. If this self-healing grid is such a great solution, why doesn’t every power company have something like it in place? The answer is simple. Communication.

All the devices that make ACES automatic switching possible must be in constant, rapid communication to function properly. The difference between our network and others is ours is built on 100% fiber.

“OEC Fiber has brought connectivity to the middle of Oklahoma that wasn’t there before,” Shumaker said. “That connectivity is something that we as an electric cooperative had not had before. We have instant communication with all these devices in the field by utilizing fiber. And that’s how we communicate to all of them in 1/1000 of a 4 8th Ave SE

second to get the necessary up-to-the-minute data, to get people’s power back online.”

The speed and reliability of OEC Fiber enables lightning-fast communication across the ACES Project. It makes the real-time switching of electric current possible where previous efforts had fallen short. “[What] really helped this project over the ones in the past is the fiber,” Herring said. “A lot of the other stuff was cell phone signal, and the technology was not what it is now.

With the equipment that we have and the high-speed fiber on top of it, that’s given us the capability to really do that.”

Building a self-healing electrical grid is the next step in increasing reliability and reducing outage times. The joint efforts of OEC and OEC Fiber is what makes this innovation possible. The addition of fiber’s speed of light communication is building a safer more reliable electric grid, ensuring your lights stay on when it would otherwise be dark.

ELECTRIFYING

GUATEMALA OEC's Hunter, Caldwell to help bring electricity to Guatemalan village The Oklahoma Association of Electric Cooperatives (OAEC) recently announced that OEC linemen Brad Hunter and Matthew Caldwell will be joining a group of linemen traveling to Guatemala later this year. Their mission?

Building infrastructure to bring electricity to remote villages for the very first time. Several OEC linemen in the past have traveled to Bolivia and Guatemala on similar missions.

“Bringing electricity to areas that have none takes us back to our roots of rural electrification,” said Chris Meyers, OAEC general manager.

In 2019, the last time OAEC sent a group of linemen to Guatemala, they built power lines in the villages of Pie del Cerro and Tierra Blanca Salinas.

Tucked away near a rainforest in the region of Ixcán, close to the border of Mexico, the group brought electricity to approximately 100 households, five churches, two elementary schools and two health centers — all previously without access to reliable and affordable electricity.

"The locals who reside in these villages live in humble means without running water, food refrigeration, or the ability to use electronic appliances for house chores or to aid in their economic growth," said Meyers. "The villagers depend on farming operations for economic sustainment; they produce corn, beans, cardamom seeds, cocoa and some vegetables."

More information about their journey to Guatemala will be available this fall. www.okcoop.org

that may be relied on or trusted; dependable in achievement, accuracy, honesty, etc.:

OEC is our name. Reliability is our game.

As an OEC member, you already have a leg up over your investor-owned utility neighbors. How? Recent data shows investor-owned utility customers were without power 95 percent longer than OEC members in 2021. Reliability matters, and no one in central Oklahoma is doing it better than OEC. "In 2016, our members experienced an average outage time of 129 minutes for the entire year," said CEO Patrick Grace.

"That number dropped to 65.1 in 2021, meaning — across the board — our members were without power for an average of one hour in 2021, which is pretty remarkable."

OEC's score of 65.1 places us well below the average score among electric co-ops across the nation and takes into consideration the outage time due to our generation and transmission provider, Western Farmers Electric Cooperative. If we were to only look at the outage factors we can control, that number drops to 35.2. [3917210103] The Oklahoma Corporation Commission reported investor-

owned utility scores have a three-year average of 102 to 140 — 56 to 115 percent higher than OEC's score.

If you're keeping record at home, the lower the score the better. After all, the goal is to keep the lights on.

LIGHTNING'S SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN RELIABILITY Oklahoma is the second most lightning prone state behind Texas and it showed in our electrical system prior to 2017. This helped OEC's board of trustees create a 2017 strategic initiative to address and eradicate issues caused by lightning.

"I believe our system hardening initiative continues to have a major impact on these scores," said Nick Shumaker, manager of system engineering. "We emphasized the much needed upgrading of our lightning protection equipment, which has played a

ABLE O large role in reducing outage time."

Proof that this focused effort is paying off can be found in the data.

"Since 2016, we've been using analytics to stop outages before they occur,” said Shumaker. "We've used data to more efficiently organize our linemen and have reduced outages due to equipment failure by 80 percent. This is pretty incredible considering the number of lightning strikes in 2016 was 28,708, and in 2021 it increased to 34,445 strikes."

Strides will continue to be made in the upgrading of lightning protection equipment until all feeders on all substations are operating at a satisfactory level.

TREE TRIMMING MATTERS Vegetation management plays a large role in providing safe, reliable electricity. Co-ops and

electric companies in general sometimes get a bad rap for the role we play in the removal of trees, but our efforts help our system withstand Oklahoma's unpredictable weather. We're a fan of trees at OEC, just not intermingled with our electric lines. In fact, we encourage the safe planting of trees in a mindful location in conjunction with our infrastructure.

As we saw in the October ice storm, ice accumulations on tree limbs can cause them to become too heavy for the tree to support. If trees are not planted correctly, the failed limbs will cause prolonged outages. Properly planted and well maintained trees reduce outages, especially in extreme weather. Annual vegetation management is a vital piece in keeping OEC’s outage numbers at industry leading levels.

All of our efforts culminate with one mission: to improve your quality of life with the safe delivery of highly reliable, reasonably priced electric service, innovative energy programs and exceptional member service.
