Oklahoma Electric Co-op News April 23

Last month, tornadoes tore through southeast Norman, damaging poles and powerlines and causing slews of outages. At the height of the storm, about 15,000 members were without power, but when the power goes out, so do we.

Crews went out as soon as the storms passed on Sunday, Feb. 26 and restored power to most members by the following Monday afternoon. A day later, almost all members' power and fiber services were restored. The in-the-moment problem-solving it takes to restore power quickly, safely and correctly is a true testament to the dedication and strong will it takes to do the work lineworkers do. It is safe to say we would not exist without the dedication our lineworkers demonstrate and the pride they take in doing their job well. Thank you to each and every one of them and their families for safely keeping our lights on.

Please be sure to thank a lineworker if you see one working in your area this month. April 10 is National Lineworker Appreciation Day.

Regarding linework, vegetation management is another essential part of managing our electric system. We work hard to ensure trees, bushes and other vegetation can live safely in tandem with our lines and poles. Our two on-staff arborists help ensure we maintain our rights-of-way with careful consideration of the vegetation we come in contact with. You can learn more about our approach to tree trimming and vegetation management, as well as download our tree-planting guide and other resources at link.okcoop.org/treeandveg

This is also why we work with the Arbor Day Foundation to be a Tree Line USA Utility. To achieve this certification, utilities follow industry standards for quality tree care, provide annual worker training in best tree-care practices, sponsor a tree-planting and public education program, maintain a tree-based energy conservation program, and participate in an Arbor Day celebration. You can read more about this on page 8.

Whether it's ice, tornadoes, or overgrown trees, we continue to do everything we can to ensure our members can rely on the power and services we provide.

This planting season, include energy efficiency in your landscaping plans. Adding shade trees around your home can reduce surrounding air temperatures as much as 6 degrees. To block heat from the sun, plant deciduous trees around the south side of your home. Deciduous trees provide excellent shade during the summer and lose their leaves in the fall and winter months, allowing sunlight to warm your home.

UNEXPECTED DISASTER

Crews rebuild after tornadoes sweep through Norman

By Brianna Wall

February typically brings a threat of snow and winter storms, but on Sunday, Feb. 26, members instead braced for severe spring-like storms. Multiple tornadoes were confirmed in OEC’s service area that evening, the most impactful being an EF-2 that destroyed homes and businesses in the eastern parts of Norman.

While many members faced a long road to rebuilding, OEC and OEC Fiber crews worked through the night and the next day to rebuild infrastructure and restore power and broadband services to the thousands of members affected by the storms.

“At the storm’s peak, we had a little over 15,000 members without power and four substations offline,” said OEC VP of Operations Marty Hayes. “I couldn’t be more proud of the response from our team in restoring all but around 800 accounts as of 4:30 Monday morning.”

The tornadoes destroyed about 60 poles and three miles of electric line, and OEC Fiber lost over three miles of fiber line as well. [0929108101]

“During the storm, about 12,000 OEC Fiber subscribers temporarily lost service,” said Senior Manager of Outside Plant & Fiber Technicians Joe

Torres. “Fortunately, we were able to reroute and reconnect most subscribers quickly.”

The addition of fiber strands to OEC’s electric poles led to a progressive system-wide upgrade in infrastructure over the last five years. While this strengthened the electric system, it’s hard to combat the effects of a tornado.

“I’m proud of how our entire OEC and OEC Fiber teams responded in the wake of these storms,” said CEO Patrick Grace. “Their training and expertise translated into safe and efficient restoration of both power and broadband services. Our thoughts are with our members and subscribers who lost homes and have experienced damage to their property.”

HOW WE CAN HELP

If you, a neighbor, family member or friend experienced damage as a result of the tornadoes, our Operation Round Up program can help. Each month, 87% of OEC members round up their electric bills. The OEC Foundation board of directors meets periodically to review applications and award grants. Anyone — OEC members and non-members that reside within our seven-county service area — may visit okcoop.org/ORU to submit an application.

1. INSULATED RUBBER GLOVES

Insulated rubber gloves are important for protecting against electric shock. These rubber gloves are made to protect against various levels of voltage. Gloves made out of tough leather are typically used over the rubber gloves to protect the rubber from damage.

2. CLIMBING SPIKES

Climbing spikes, also known as hooks, gaffs, climbers, and spikes, are metal spikes that are strapped to a lineworker’s boots to help them climb utility poles. Climbers consist of a leg iron that wraps around the bottom of the foot and a spike, called a gaff, that sticks out of the leg iron near the climber’s ankle. The height of the leg iron can be made from steel, aluminum alloy, or titanium and it can be adjusted to suit the comfort of the lineworker. The spike, or gaff, is always made from steel so that it’s durable as it penetrates the utility pole.

3. HARD HAT AND SUNGLASSES

Safety is our number one focus at OEC. Hard hats are an important piece of safety equipment that are used at all times. The outer shell of most hard hats is lightweight but durable to protect the head from falling debris and a blow from a fall. Sunglasses are essential for eye protection from debris and bright light flashes.

4. FALL RESTRAINT SYSTEM

Fall restraint systems use the climber’s body weight to mechanically cinch and lock a device around the utility pole to stop a fall if a lineman’s climbing spikes lose contact with the pole. The equipment provides a limited fall

arrest, especially for bare sections of a pole where a climber could free fall for more than two feet.

5. CLIMBING BELT AND HARNESS

When climbing utility poles, it is important for lineworkers to use climbing belts and harnesses to prevent falls. Quality belts, harnesses and straps should be used that can effectively support the weight of the workers.

6. SECONDARY LANYARD

Lanyards are flexible ropes or straps that connect the harness to an anchor, lifeline, or deceleration device. Lanyards help lineworkers reposition the fall restraint lanyard around an impeding object and maintain a constant point of contact.

OEC named 2023 Tree Line USA Utility by Arbor Day Foundation for the 17th year in a row

Oklahoma Electric Cooperative was named a 2023 Tree Line USA by the Arbor Day Foundation to recognize its dedication to proper urban forest management in the provider’s service area.

Tree Line USA, a partnership between the Arbor Day Foundation and the National Association of State Foresters, recognizes public and private utilities for pursuing best practices that protect and cultivate America’s urban tree canopy. In addition, Tree Line USA promotes delivering safe and reliable electricity while maintaining healthy community forests.

“Trees are essential to creating more urban green spaces in communities across the United States,” said Dan Lambe, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. “In addition, they provide important benefits to residents, including clean air, clean water, and vital tree shade. Service providers like Oklahoma Electric Cooperative demonstrate how easily trees and utilities can co-exist for the benefit of communities and residents.”

By joining the Tree Line USA program, service providers benefit from lowering line clearance costs due to proper pruning. As a result of those properly pruned and maintained trees, the people benefit from increased

reliability of service because those trees will have healthy root systems that decay less, have less structural weakness, and ultimately result in fewer downed lines during storms.

Oklahoma Electric Cooperative achieved the Tree Line USA recognition by meeting five program standards: quality tree care, annual worker training, tree planting and public education, a formal tree-based energy conservation, and a sponsorship of or participation Arbor Day celebration.

Service providers like OEC demonstrate how easily trees and utilities can co-exist..."

— DAN LAMBE

For the sixth year in a row, OEC is partnering with the Arbor Day Foundation to give free trees to memberconsumers.

"Members who take advantage of energy efficiency measures in the months leading up to summer can maximize their savings," said Daniel Lofland, energy efficiency solutions specialist. "We are proud to offer the Energy-Saving Trees program free of charge to our members."

Energy-Saving Trees is a researchbased, easy-to-use online mapping tool that takes the guesswork out of tree planting. By entering simple information about your home and yard, the tool calculates where to specifically and strategically plant trees for the greatest energy- and money-saving benefits.

Planting the right tree in the right place is key to maximizing the energysaving benefits that trees provide. When

*A limited number of trees will be available. Limit one per membership. Must be able to pick up your tree at 480 24th Avenue NW in Norman on April 22 between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.

A MOMENT OF GRATITUDE

THANK YOU TO THE UNSUNG HEROES OF OEC FIBER

By Erin McKnight

Ebony skies pour water onto the heads of crews pulling fiber optic cable across a windswept landscape. Long into the night, they work to restore service to damaged areas after the storm. These are the unsung heroes behind OEC Fiber.

These lineworkers are a highly skilled group of individuals dedicated to the idea that they are making lives better for their community. With over 133 years of experience between them, they are the backbone of the rural broadband revolution. [7602100115]

"I am constantly impressed by our crew's exceptional work," said Joe Torres, senior manager of outside plant and fiber technicians. "Their dedication to quality and attention to detail speaks to the pride they take in their work. They are the engine that keeps everything running."

In honor of National Lineworker Appreciation Day, we pause to thank this hard-working group of individuals that keep us all connected. Much of what they do goes without recognition or reward. Day in and day out, they are the ones in the trenches. They climb the poles in harsh conditions so we can have the highquality service we rely on. It is back-breaking work, and we do not thank them enough.

So on behalf of all OEC Fiber subscribers, we say "thank you." Thank you for the long hours in all manner of weather. Thank you for doing the work few are willing to do so we can have what we need for work, school and play online. You are the best of us. We would not be where we are without you.

Meet the lineworkers who power your power:

BEST & BRIGHTEST

OEC awarded all-expenses-paid trips to eight extremely talented high school juniors during the 2023 Youth Tour Banquet held March 9. Nandini Patel from Westmoore High School, Chandler Patterson from Tuttle High School, Shephard Schuerman from Community Christian School and Jayce Sherman from Blanchard High School won a seven-day trip to Washington, D.C. on Oklahoma's Youth Tour. The other finalists — Brayden Brumley from Newcastle High School, Emma Fletcher from Norman High School, Reece Rylee from Westmore High School, and Brea Willoughby from Purcell — won trips to Camp RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards). Both trips will occur this summer.

All applicants were asked to design a communitybenefitting project, produce a short video promoting the project and write a professional letter to a leader of their choice about either their project or other public interest issues. Finalists created PowerPoint presentations and “pitched” their community projects in front of OEC trustees, senior staff, representatives from their schools, their families and three independent judges.

“I am impressed by all the applicants and their passion for service,” said Tory Tedder-Loffland, OEC's education and outreach programs director. “This contest emphasizes grass-roots initiatives to effect positive change in their communities.”

OEC and OAEC redesigned the Youth Tour contest for 2023 to focus on three areas core to the co-op identity: community involvement, social connection and legislative participation.

“We want to support and encourage the kind of human

who lends their talents and efforts to improving life in their communities," Tedder-Loffland said. "All eight of these finalists qualify as amazing humans who will do amazing things in life.”

The panel of judges included Representative Dick Lowe of District 56, Norman City Councilwoman Lauren Schuler of Ward 2, and owner of Fusion Fitness & Yoga, Lindsey Densow.

As winners of the 2023 Youth Tour, Patel, Patterson, Schuermann and Sherman will travel to the nation's capital in June along with 70 of their peers from electric co-ops across the state . They will spend the week touring Washington, D.C.'s historic monuments and museums, meeting with Oklahoma's Congressional delegation and making new, lifelong friends.

While at Camp RYLA, Brumley, Reece, Fletcher and Willoughby will learn improved techniques of leadership. Their enthusiasm and technique are brought back to their communities, where their positive influence impacts those around them. RYLA introduces a large number of young people and their families to the Rotary ideals of service each year. It helps bridge the communication gap between the generations and helps improve relationships among youth groups, families and the community.

"I am confident OEC will be very well represented both in Washington, D.C. and at Camp RYLA," said OEC CEO Patrick Grace. "The board and I are happy to support programs that encourage our next generation of co-op members to dream big and become the community leaders we know they are capable of becoming."
