OEC Fiber has taken tremendous leaps as well, growing from 1,400 miles of fiber line across our seven-county service area in 2019 to close to 3,300 miles of line today. We had about 2,500 subscribers in 2019 and have grown at record speeds to now serve reliable, affordable, high-speed internet to over 30,000 subscribers. We are proud to say all OEC members now have access to high-speed broadband thanks to the efforts of OEC’s entire team and Board of Trustees. On the subject of OEC’s Board of Trustees, I am happy to announce the appointment of Debbie Frazier as the District 3 trustee. The board voted to appoint Debbie at the July board meeting, and I invite you to learn more about her on page seven.
A November 2020 ice storm, Winter Storm Uri in 2021 and extremely hot summers are all historic events that have contributed to this increase.

On Aug. 5, we held our first Annual Meeting since 2019, and it made me think of the leaps we’ve taken as a cooperative in those three years. Obviously, our broadband project has exploded onto the scene as OEC Fiber became viable for more and more members, but our electric membership has experienced significant growth as well. This growth specifically is what will sustain OEC for another 85 years. Since 2019, our membership has grown 8.8%, a steady 3% per year, which is strong growth for a co-op of our size and proximity to a metro area. We now serve 47,780 members, up from 43,920 in 2019. New commercial growth has been remarkable and has contributed to an increase of 20% in electricity consumption compared to 2019. This increase in demand and usage for OEC is not necessarily unique to us, as the Southwest Power Pool has experienced increased demand for power across their 14-state service area over the last three years.

OF THE MONTH Our faucets and appliances use a lot of hot water. You can lower your water heating costs by using less hot water in your home. Water heating accounts for a large portion of home energy bills. To save energy (and money!) used for water heating, repair any leaky faucets, install low-flow fixtures and insulate accessible hot water lines. When it’s time to purchase a new washing machine or dishwasher, look for models that are ENERGY STAR®-certified. ENERGY E F FICIENCY WHAT'S INSIDE? EV RATES OEC's EV rate is not just for EV owners.

OEC gave away over 40 gifts this year thanks to our generous vendors and business partners — that’s in addition to the $20 credit every member received for registering at the Annual Meeting. One lucky member won the $1,000 grand prize and three members pursuing post-secondary education received a $1,000 Luck-of-the-Draw scholarship.
Members from all nine board districts made their way to the Lloyd Noble Center for the Annual Meeting and Member Appreciation Night. Kicked off by fan-favorite Jim Garling and followed by the award-winning husband and wife gospel group The Imaginaries, members enjoyed all of the entertainment.

The 1,700-plus members and their guests — a total of almost 4,000 people — who attended this year’s Annual Meeting Aug. 5 enjoyed an evening of great entertainment, family fun and lots of prizes.
One boy and one girl walked away with bicycle vouchers and one teen won a Samsung tablet. As always, the Kids’ Zone will be back next year to provide a place of entertainment for kids and young families.
If you attended the Annual Meeting this year, thank you for coming out. We hope you had an enjoyable evening. If you could not attend, we hope to see you next year.
The Kids’ Zone featured Sponji the clown and his wife, Bobbin, making balloon animals for kids of all ages, and the Washington High School cheer squad provided face-painting for the kids. The photo booth is always a hit as well.

OEC Foundation board grants $62,000 to local organizations, families
"We serve disabled military veterans and their families by sharing our collective knowledge and experience to guide them through the Veterans Affairs claims process," said Christian Monk, Director of Development at Dale K Graham Veterans Foundation. "We also aid low-income veterans by providing vouchers for medical assessments, temporary assistance with rent, utilities, transportation and food. OEC's support of our mission means the world to us."
Norman, Transition House, United Way of Norman and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul South Central District Council received $10,000 each. The board also awarded grants to two other organizations. The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma received $6,000 for their kid's backpack program, and the Newcastle Police Department received $4,000 to equip patrol cars with essential tools.
President Beckie Turner. "It is an astronomical reward to know that everything we take in, we're going to give back."
Individuals also received assistance with eye care and purchasing hearing aids.
"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."
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.
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.
Over the last 26 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.
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.

"I have lived in either Lexington or Noble for all but a few years of my life, this is my home," she said. "I am connected to this community through the relationships I formed living here and being active in the community. I look forward to being a valuable member of the OEC family for many years."
District 4 Trustee Ronnie Grover and District 6 Trustee John Jensen recently renewed their Director Gold Credential.
Per OEC's by-laws, trustees serve three-year terms, with a different group eligible for election each year. OEC notified all members in the June Co-op News of the upcoming filing period for a spot on OEC's board representing Districts 3 (Noble, Slaughterville and Lexington), 5 (Norman and Noble) and 7 (Tuttle and BridgeOEC'sCreek).Board of Trustees is tasked with becoming educated, knowledgeable experts in the electric industry. Eight of nine trustees hold certifications and distinctions marking them as professionals in the field, qualifying them to make decisions in their constituents' best interests and ensure the co-op succeeds in its mission while remaining transparent to the members who own it.
District 5 Trustee Shirley Idleman completed her Board Leadership Certificate.
To learn more about OEC's board of trustees, visit www.okcoop.org.
Debbie Frazier of Lexington joined OEC’s Board of Trustees in August following the resignation of former District 3 Trustee Rusty Grissom, who served on OEC’s board for over 20 years. At the July meeting of the Board of Trustees, they voted to appoint Frazier as District 3 representative, and to reappoint Shirley Idleman and Danny Watters as Districts 5 and 7 representatives, respectively. Each trustee began three-year terms in August following two uncontested elections and one contested election that did not meet quorum attendance. The three trustees — also OEC members — proudly serve their respective districts across OEC's service area.

EV RATE also benefits OVERNIGHT USERS
OEC’s electric vehicle rate not just for EV owners
"This residential rate focuses on the time of day electricity is consumed and is most beneficial to those with electric vehicles or large appliances that are programmed to operate overnight," said Energy Efficiency Solutions Specialist and EV expert Daniel Lofland. "While we call it the ‘EV rate’ it's also ideal for those willing to divert energy consumption to evening and overnight hours."
In 2020, OEC's board of trustees added a new rate to OEC's catalog of rate options, initially for members who own an electric vehicle (EV). This rate is beneficial for all who tend to consume a lot of power during the overnight hours.
"We are able to offer lower overnight kWh rates because power is produced at a lower cost during those hours,” Lofland said. “Temperatures are cooler and air conditioners are working less, which allows the grid to recover from the strains of a hot summer afternoon. Plus, overnight electricity is generated mostly by wind power — a relatively
