Paul Matthys, president/CEO, Cass County Electric Cooperative
The first quarter of 2024 has been challenging, but several positive things exist.
We are very fortunate to be considered a growth cooperative. Our annual member account growth ranks in the top 10% amongst our peers nationwide. Growth brings challenges and opportunities, but it is essential to maintaining the financial health of your cooperative.
The business of an electric distribution cooperative is very weather dependent, especially in the prairie we call home. When the weather is cold or hot, the cooperative sells more energy, which helps achieve the required revenue to operate and do business.
The heating degree days, a formula used to calculate heating energy needs, are down 23% since the beginning of the year. This affected our energy sales, which are down
3% – or 15 million kWh – compared to 2023. Similarly, our off-peak (electric heat, water heating, etc.) sales are down 18.2%.
The financial part of the cooperative business is somewhat different from most companies, especially compared to the forprofit kind. The cooperative gives back a portion of its excess revenues, called margins, each year in the form of capital credits, which are decided by your board of directors. Excess revenues or margins are also used to invest back into the cooperative for new load growth, system improvements, and upgrades.
The cooperative’s year-todate revenue is down 1.3%, or approximately $654,000, relative to 2023. On the other side of the financials are fixed, operating, and power costs. Wholesale power, our most significant cost, is up by 6.5%. Operating costs are up 16.8%, or $990,000 (primarily a result of this past winter’s ice storm), and fixed costs are 2.7% higher than last year at the same time. As a result of these costs being up and revenue down, our year-to-date operating margins are down nearly $1.7 million, or 57%.
Let’s talk about the bright side of things. Our member account growth continues, and we have added 458 new accounts compared to 321 in 2023 (YTD). Our distribution adder has remained flat and stable at $0.0231/kWh, 40% below our peer group (cooperatives of similar size nationwide). The distribution adder is the cost of
running our cooperative and doing business.
The cooperative’s ability to manage the distribution adder has allowed for flat and stable rates since 2017, which puts us in the top 7% of our peer group in this category. We attribute to this success to our employees managing expenses, maximizing technology, and working efficiently, and to our board of directors for effectively and responsibly managing the cooperative’s finances.
As mentioned, we are positioned well financially and for future load growth. In the words of our chief financial officer, Chad T. Sapa, “It is okay to have a bad year.” He says this because we strategically plan for reduced energy sales, ice storms, and other unexpected things that can and will happen at any given time. During my 23 years, the cooperative has never had to raise electricity rates due to the cost of running the cooperative (the distribution adder), and we do not intend to in the future.
Enough numbers talk; it’s summer! This is the time of year for family vacations, spending time at the lake, playing baseball, or hanging outdoors. We also spend more time in our vehicles, and traffic is usually more significant, so please slow down, drive safely, and pay attention to the road. One of my favorite sayings is, “Haste makes waste.” We will make fewer mistakes if we take a few extra seconds and focus on the task at hand. Have a good summer, and be safe.

Colfax. “Norman Rockwell, 1960s”
Those words describe Nathan Berseth’s depiction of Colfax, North Dakota, population 240. Born and raised in the Richland County town, Berseth moved away following school to pursue a professional career. Yet you can take the boy out of North Dakota, but not the North Dakota out of the boy.
Decades later, Berseth, who serves as Richland County school board president, and his wife are happily raising a family in the community that proudly touts itself as the smallest incorporated town in the state (and possibly the country) to have its own swimming pool. While there were benefits of the big city lifestyle, Berseth’s fond recollections of the Colfax community and the Midwest ‘family mentality’ brought him home. As he reflects, Berseth’s current-day depiction of the town remains the same as the pure Americana community he grew up in… only better.
“It’s the people; I almost get emotional thinking about it,” Berseth said. ”The only thing that’s changed in this community in the past decades is a few (new) families. You’ve got grandmas and grandpas down the street, and even if they aren’t bloodrelated, people treat you like it. It’s a quiet town with a great school district where people look out for each other. There’s a lot of pride.”
Colfax is much more than a town with a swimming pool (although it’s a community staple year in and year out). Nor is it just a bedroom community on the fringe of two of North Dakota’s key metropolitan areas.
With a population that has grown substantallly over the past decade, it’s no secret that Colfax is on the rise. Perhaps the root of its successes? Investing in its youth and the next generation.
Investing in the future
A town built on the railroad in 1881, Colfax displays the beauties of a Midwest small town; a post office, local watering hole, and a Lutheran church make up the core ecosystem of the community. Yet as Berseth drives around the town, the sense of pride is evident as he waves to residents of new developments alongside dwellers of the “heritage” part of town.
“I don’t refer to it as the ‘old part of town,’ I refer to it as heritage because it’s what we were built on,” Berseth said. “Longtime or new, our community members do an incredible job keeping up their properties.”
Just as concern for community is a core value in the cooperative world, the same can be said for
Colfax, home of Richland #44 School District, serving the communities of Abercrombie, Christine, Colfax, and Galchutt. The area’s most recent embodiment of this? Breaking ground in March on an estimated $11 million state-of-the-art event and performing arts center located on the eastern edge of Colfax that is slated to be completed by the end of next summer.
Phase one, which includes the event portion of the project, broke ground in March for the community-oriented facility and won’t cost taxpayers any dollars. Expected to be completed in July 2025, fundraising for phase one is in full swing. For Richland #44 Superintendent Dr. Britney Gandhi, the project is a win-win for both community members and students in the district.
“It will produce a profit for the (Richland #44) foundation, which will go to benefit students in the district,” Gandhi said.
The facility creates a needed space for a growing community, whether for weddings, concerts, or community gatherings.
“If we’re going to do it, we want to do it right,” Berseth said. “We’ve always had a great athletic tradition, it’s time to capitalize on our already excellent fine arts programs. And outside of
school events, currently, we have a church and a bar where community members can gather. This will create a space for individuals of all interests and demographics to congregate.”
Once phase one is completed, construction on the performing arts center of the facility will begin, serving as the future home of Richland #44 music and theatre programs.
“People want what’s best for their kids, but they also support teachers, administration, and anything our students are doing,” Gandhi said. “People really prioritize public education in our community.”
Giving back to the next generation A new facility garnishing top-class amenities is a win for any community and school district. For Richland #44, it’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to investing in students.
Since 2019, every graduating senior who spends at least three years at Richland #44 High School receives
a $10,000 scholarship courtesy of a generous gift from the late Darrel Hendrickson and the Richland #44 Foundation.
Hendrickson, a local farmer, passed away in 2016. In his will, he included a gift to support the community and education.
“Darrel gave to the city of Colfax, the local church, and $4.5 million toward investing in this city’s education,” Richland #44 Foundation president Megan Kummer said. “That led to the creation of the foundation and allowed us to think about how we could truly make an impact in the lives of students.” Kummer is the daughter-in-law of recently elected CCEC director, Vanessa Kummer.
When allocating the funds, the foundation wanted to honor the versatile interests and career paths that students have the opportunity to pursue. Trade school or university, local or coastal, graduates receive the scholarship.
“Any type of post-secondary education, as long as it’s accredited,” Gandhi said when referring to how the scholarship can be used. “Individuals going to the military are able to defer the scholarship (until a later time), and it can also be used toward graduate school.”
“Ten thousand dollars is a meaningful gift, whether a student is going to a tech school or getting their Ph.D,” Kummer said. “It’s truly life-changing.”
Between the scholarship fund and the excitement of the new facility, the rock of the community remains what it’s always been… the people.
“It’s truly the best of both worlds,” Berseth said. “The people are just phenomenal and care about their community.”
CCEC is rooted in the dynamic rural communities it serves and looks forward to supporting the growth and prosperity of Colfax for years to come.

Meet: Director Mitzel
Ask Glenn Mitzel about his passions outside of work, and you’ll get a myriad of answers… most of which the layperson would classify as within the boundaries of “work.”
With a career as a controls and automation software engineer and over 25 years of experience as a lecturer at North Dakota State University, Mitzel’s schedule is fully booked.
“I don’t really know what free time is,” Mitzel laughed.
One of the biggest pieces of the “Glenn Mitzel experience” takes place monthly at Cass County Electric Cooperative’s (CCEC) headquarters, with countless engagements and correspondences in between.
Mitzel has served as chair of the CCEC board of directors since spring 2023 and has been a board member since 2013. Spend five minutes with the man, and his passion for the cooperative and its members resonates with the utmost pride.
As Mitzel reflects on the past, present, and future, he couldn’t be more optimistic about the cooperative’s trajectory.
Always a part of me
Growing up on a farm near Hope, North Dakota, and graduating from Valley City High School, Mitzel had a spread of co-op influences around him from a young age.
“My dad’s best friend was a director for Sheyenne Valley Electric Cooperative and my dad was on the local farmers elevator board (a cooperative), so I guess I’ve been around cooperatives my whole life,” Mitzel said.
The trend continued in college. A graduate of the University of North Dakota, Mitzel spent time as an engineering intern at Nodak Electric Cooperative in Grand Forks prior to obtaining his master’s of engineering physics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
“I’ve been very fortunate to see the cooperative world from many angles,” Mitzel said. “It’s fostered a deep appreciation for the cooperative business model, but also has best equipped me for the position that I’m in today.”
Equipped to succeed
Of the nine-member board, Mitzel is one of the longest tenured. Reflecting on his start, Mitzel has experienced no shortage of versatility.
“It wasn’t until I was elected (to the board) that I truly realized the breadth of topics that we have the opportunity to work on,” Mitzel said.
That variety hasn’t come without its challenges; Mitzel cites power supply, regulation, and market supply as just a few of the issues that the board is faced with.
“The change that’s happening is certainly the most unique and challenging part of the role,” Mitzel said. “There are issues that the board never fathomed years ago that are now top issues because the industry is changing rapidly.”
Yet great leadership is rooted in versatility, and CCEC’s board showcases versatility that rivals the issues they face.
“We’ve got a broad spectrum of backgrounds represented. Everything from a retired Navy pilot to a retired FBI agent, a finance manager, business owners, former university instructors, and farmers,” Mitzel said. “We think about and view things differently, but that helps us power through to reach the best solutions for our members.”
Intense summer storms can be beautiful to watch, yet have the potential to be very destructive – and they can arise quickly.
Lightning strikes, booming thunder, and torrential rain are powerful forces that, when coming in contact with utility infrastructure, can lead to power outages and damage to equipment.
Here are some lightning safety tips to keep you and your family safe:
• Head indoors at the first sign of lightning and invest in a surge protection device for your home electronics.
• Stay off corded phones,
Summer storm safety safety
computers, and other electrical equipment that put you in direct contact with electricity.
• Avoid plumbing, including sinks, baths, and faucets.
• Stay away from windows and doors, and stay off porches.
• Immediately move off elevated areas.
• Never lie flat on the ground.
• Never shelter under an isolated tree.
• Immediately get out of and away from bodies of water.
Backup generators are great during power outages, but please be sure a licensed professional installed it through a transfer switch. Improperly

wired generators can result in electricity backfeeding onto power lines, which can be incredibly dangerous for co-op lineworkers and those inside your home. Never operate a generator indoors or in confined spaces.
A good tip to remember: Keep fridges and freezers closed as much as possible during a power outage. An unopened refrigerator will safely keep food cold for about four hours; a full freezer will do so for about 48 hours.

CCEC outage restoration steps:
1. In situations where substation control equipment notifies technicians of an abnormality, technicians communicate with meters to see which meters are “talking back.”
2. Outage Management Systems (OMS) can help us pinpoint the location of the problem based on calls.
3. Inbound calls and app submissions alert us of an outage and help narrow down the scope.
4. The outage viewer is continuously updating as technicians and line crews work the outage(s).
5. Power control technicians may remotely reroute (switch) power in situations where this is possible.
6. During business hours, crews immediately proceed to the outage. After hours, line crews are contacted and proceed to our service centers to get their vehicles.
7. As soon as the outage is verified, text/e-mail outage notifications are sent to affected members.
8. Crews investigate the cause of the outage and work with power control to determine the safest course to restore power.
9. Line crews are on-site and completing repairs.

PROS AND CONS WIND ENERGY:
As we’ve said before in the pages of this newsletter, Cass County Electric Cooperative believes in an all-of-the-above energy strategy to keep your electricity reliable, affordable and sustainable. Our power supplier, Minnkota Power Cooperative, uses a diverse mix of resources to generate energy – coal, hydro and wind. All of these resources have benefits and downfalls. But when they work together, we can overcome their respective challenges.
Today we’re examining the pros and cons of wind power, which makes up 34% of Minnkota’s generation capacity.
WIND ENERGY PROS
• Carbon-Free and Renewable: Wind energy is a clean and renewable source of power. It doesn’t produce emissions during operation.
• Abundant Resource: Wind is an abundant resource, available in many regions across the globe – notably in the prairies of North Dakota. Harnessing wind energy can balance dependence on other fuel sources.
• Low Operating Costs: Once wind turbines are installed, the operational costs are relatively low. There are no fuel costs, and maintenance expenses are generally manageable.
WIND ENERGY CONS
• Intermittency and Variability: The wind is not always strong enough to turn turbines, which are dependent on wind speed and direction. This can lead to fluctuations in electricity generation, requiring backup power sources to ensure grid stability 24/7. Wind energy’s capacity factor (the amount of time it can produce power versus its maximum output) is 40%-50% annually.
• Visual and Noise Impact: In some cases, people find wind turbines visually unappealing, particularly in wide open rural areas. Additionally, the noise generated by wind turbines can sometimes bother those who are exposed to it daily.
• Wildlife Impact: Wind turbines can pose risks to birds and bats, particularly if located in migration routes or nesting areas. Collisions with turbine blades or changes in habitat due to construction can harm wildlife populations.

safety
If you feel a shock, swim away from the dock
“If you feel a shock, swim away from the dock” is a good rule to follow when swimming. It can help swimmers avoid the invisible hazard of electric shock drowning (ESD). Scan here for more safety tips!
Outdated wiring and a lack of proper safety equipment on boats and docks can cause situations where electricity seeps or leaks into the water. It is a particularly dangerous hazard because it is impossible to tell by looking if water is energized. According to the Electric Shock Drowning Prevention Association, between 10 and 15 milliamps, which is just 1/50 the wattage of a 60-watt light bulb, can cause drowning. The association also reports that most ESD deaths have occurred in public and private marinas and docks.
Cass County Electric Cooperative (CCEC) recommends that individuals do not swim around docks with electrical equipment or boats plugged into shore power. If you are in the water and feel an electric current, shout to let others know, try to stay upright, tuck your legs up to make yourself smaller, and swim away from anything that could be energized. Do not swim to the boat or dock ladders to get out.
If you see someone you suspect is getting shocked, do not immediately jump in to save them. Throw them a float, turn off the shore power connection, or unplug shore power cords. Try to eliminate the source of electricity as quickly as possible, then call 9-1-1 for help.
CCEC, along with the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) and International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers/National Electrical Contractors Association, recommends adhering to these steps to enhance water recreation safety and accident prevention:
• All electrical installations and maintenance should be performed by a professional electrical contractor familiar with marine codes and standards and inspected at least once a year.
• Docks should have groundfault circuit interrupter (GFCI) breakers on the circuits feeding electricity to the dock.
• The docks’ metal frames should
be bonded to connect all metal parts to the alternating current (AC) safety ground at the power source.
• Neighboring docks can also present a shock hazard. Make your neighbors aware of the need for safety inspections and maintenance. Marinas should comply with NFPA and NEC codes.
• Have your boat’s electrical system checked at least once a year. Boats should also be checked when something is added to or removed from their systems.
• Boats with AC systems should have isolation transformers or equipment leakage circuit interrupter (ELCI) protection, comply with ABYC standards, and be serviced by an ABYC Certified® Technician.
