FROM the TOP CEO ADDRESS
Every time you flip a switch, you expect the lights to come on. That simple expectation is the foundation of our work at OEC. Behind the scenes, though, keeping power reliable takes constant investment, planning and preparation.
One way we support reliability is through the service availability charge. While it may not always seem connected to how much electricity you use, this charge helps cover fixed costs, expenses that don’t change whether a member uses 200 kilowatt-hours a month or 200,000. These costs allow us to be storm-ready and keep outages as short as possible.
When severe weather hits, you count on us to restore power quickly. We need strong systems, equipment that can handle shifting loads, backup sources to reroute electricity and lines that can withstand heavy conditions. These aren’t last-minute fixes. They result from steady, year-round investments designed to protect the grid and you from extended outages.
A big part of this work is system hardening. We identify our underperforming areas and make improvements. That means trimming back trees near lines, replacing older hardware, upgrading equipment and tightening connections. It’s the equivalent of preventative care: taking action now to avoid bigger problems later.
These upgrades are not driven by how much electricity any one member uses. They’re fixed investments made for the benefit of the entire system. Whether you live alone, use a small amount of energy or run a large business, you depend on reliable service. And that reliability is built on continuous improvements.
Your dollars are hard-earned, and we take that responsibility seriously. The service availability charge provides fairness and stability across our membership, allowing us to keep the system strong and dependable ensuring we can keep your power flowing, especially during storms when you need it most. The ongoing work to strengthen our grid is how we honor that hard-earned dollar.
Thank you for your trust and support as we continue to invest in your cooperative. Your confidence in us allows us to focus on what matters most—being there when you need us and keeping your power dependable in every season.

Frazier, Idleman, Watters reappointed to OEC board
Each trustee began three-year terms in September following two uncontested elections. The three trustees — also OEC members — proudly serve their respective districts across OEC's service area.
"All three appointees have diligently represented the members in their districts throughout their service on the board," said Ronnie Grover, Board of Trustees vice president. "We are confident that Mrs. Frazier, Mrs. Idleman and Mr. Watters will serve in the way our members expect and deserve."
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 August Co-op News of the filing period for a spot on OEC's board representing Districts 3 (Noble, Slaughterville and Lexington), 5 (Norman and Noble) and 7 (Tuttle and Bridge Creek). 7007574900
OEC's Board of Trustees is tasked with becoming educated, knowledgeable experts in the electric industry. All of the 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.

WHERE HOLIDAYS TAKE ROOT
At Wells Christmas Tree Farm, families find trees, memories and the spirit of the season
Story and photos by JoMarie Ramsey
The first cold front of November has a way of stirring the season awake. Mugs of cocoa steam on kitchen tables, Clark Griswold flickers to life on living room screens and the familiar notes of BC Clark's holiday jingle drift across Oklahoma airwaves. These cues tell most families it's time for the holidays.
The season begins in the quiet of dawn for husband-and-wife team Katy and Jesse Wells. When they swing open the semi-truck doors, a cold breath of pine-scented air rushes out, filling their Norman Christmas tree farm with the promise of another holiday season.
"Sometimes there's still snow on the branches," Katy said. "You open that trailer, and the smell just hits you. That's the moment for me. That's when I know it's here."
For Jesse, his cue comes with a sound, not a scent.
"For me, it's the chainsaws," Jesse said. "When you hear that buzzing, you know families are cutting down their trees out there. That's when it feels real."
It started as a shared daydream. In 2014, after taking their young son, Luke, to cut down a Christmas tree, Jesse turned to Katy on the drive home and said, "You know, we could do this."
"I looked at him in shock because I had just thought the same thing but hadn't said it out loud," Katy said.
By the following year, they were planting trees. They joined the Oklahoma Christmas Tree Association, researched and put 150
seedlings in the ground. Half died.
"We had no background in agriculture," Jesse said. "We were just figuring it out as we went."
Now, their 12-acre farm just outside Norman includes nearly 1,500 Virginia Pines and over 1,000 pre-cut premium firs shipped in from growers in Oregon, Wisconsin and North Carolina. It has become a destination for Christmas trees and the kind of seasonal magic families return for year after year.
"We wanted to create a space where families could make memories," Katy said. "The tree is important, but it's really about what happens around it."
On weekends, the farm is alive with live music, hot cocoa, hot apple cider, food trucks and the warm flicker of fire pits. Children line up to visit Santa. Couples stroll through rows of evergreens. Movie nights turn the farm into a holiday theater under the stars.
"We love watching people stay for hours, just being present," Jesse said. "They're not rushing in and out. They're making a day of it."
But this work is not easy. Each Virginia Pine takes five to seven years to grow to retail height and requires shaping and shearing multiple times a year.
"They don't naturally grow in the perfect Christmas tree shape," Jesse said. "You definitely have to help them get there."
Weather remains their biggest challenge. This year alone, heavy rains flooded part of the field and
drowned about 200 trees.
"It's part of it," Jesse said. "You just plant more and keep going."
Katy runs the gift shop, schedules staff, manages retail and food operations, and handles inventory. Jesse oversees tree maintenance, logistics, infrastructure and everything outdoors.
"We've had to learn every part of this business," Katy said. "We do our own marketing, payroll and ordering. It's just us."
That dedication has not gone unnoticed by the community. Friends, family, neighbors and volunteers fuel the farm's growth, as do partners like Oklahoma Electric Cooperative and OEC Fiber, which helped install high-speed fiber internet and set up electrical infrastructure as the business expanded.
"We really appreciate what OEC
The tree is important, but it's really about what happens around it.
— Katy Wells
has done for us," Jesse said. "We rely on electricity and WiFi for everything—our lights, coffee shop, POS system, equipment, everything. They've been fast and helpful every time we've needed them."
OEC has been supporting rural Oklahoma families since 1937, when a group of farmers and neighbors banded together to bring power to areas ignored by private utilities. Today, that legacy continues with businesses like the Wells Christmas Tree Farm, where innovation and community spirit thrive.
"Our story wouldn't be possible without the people who believed in us from the beginning," Katy said. "It's been a community effort from day one."
The Wellses make it a point to give back — donating trees each year to families in need and frequently
supporting local fundraisers, schools and causes. One year, they helped coordinate a car donation for a family facing hardship.
"That's the part that sticks with you," Katy said. "It's not just a business. It's something bigger."
This year, they're opening a new coffee shop on site and expanding the gift shop. They're also delivering their largest tree, a 30-footer, to the University of Oklahoma's South Oval, the central green space on OU's Norman campus.
"We're proud of the work, but mostly we're proud of the space we've created," Jesse said.
At the end of each season, they host a movie night on the farm. Last year, the film was the classic "Elf."
As the closing credits rolled, families stayed, talking by the fire, drinking cocoa, laughing together.
"That's when it hits me," Katy said. "We're not just running a farm. We're part of people's family traditions now."
She paused.
"I don't think anything is more meaningful than that."

OEC Receives Capital Credit Check From AECI
by JoMarie Ramsey
NORMAN, Okla. — Oklahoma Electric Cooperative (OEC) recently received a capital credit check from AECI Utility Solutions (AECI), reflecting a growing partnership built on shared cooperative principles and mutual support.
The capital credit return came from OEC’s 2024 purchases of electric transformers through AECI, a cooperative utility distributor based in Arkansas. The check represents a return on those purchases, a key benefit of doing business with a fellow cooperative.
“This is the cooperative model in action,” said Patrick Grace, OEC chief executive officer. “When we buy from a cooperative like AECI, we’re not just purchasing equipment, we’re investing in a relationship that brings long-term value back to our members.”
Capital credits are a hallmark of the cooperative business model, where profits are returned to member-owners rather than outside investors. AECI, a co-opowned utility distributor serving five states, shares this philosophy and has prioritized keeping fellow cooperatives like OEC at the front of the line — especially during challenging times like the COVID-19 supply chain crisis.
“We’re a cooperative-owned distributor working with co-ops like OEC to maximize value,” said Jason Allen, the chief commercial officer at AECI. “This check is a tangible way we fulfill our mission to serve members with affordable, responsible solutions.”
a broader strategy to strengthen supply chain resilience and ensure consistent member service.
“We’ve had strong partnerships for years and continue to rely on those vendors,” Blackburn said. “But the pandemic taught us the importance of flexibility. Adding AECI gave us another dependable option in a very tough environment.”
One advantage of working with a cooperative supplier is the return of capital credits. Like OEC, AECI is a not-forprofit cooperative that returns excess revenue to its members — in this case, other co-ops like OEC.
“Capital credits are a tangible benefit of cooperative business,” Allen said. “They show how cooperatives prioritize service and shared value, not just transactions.”
The pandemic taught us the importance of flexibility. Adding AECI gave us another dependable option in a very tough environment
— RYAN BLACKBURN
OEC began sourcing transformers from AECI’s manufacturing partner, ERMCO Transformers, in late 2023. While the relationship is relatively new, it was forged when global supply chains were under extreme pressure.
“During COVID, lead times on transformers skyrocketed,” said Ryan Blackburn, OEC’s logistics manager. “AECI was able to step in and meet our needs when it mattered most.”
OEC continues to work with several trusted vendors — some for decades — and values those long-term relationships. Adding AECI to the supplier mix was part of
While AECI is a newer supplier for OEC, the principles guiding the relationship are familiar.
“They think the way we do,” Grace said. “It’s not just about the lowest price — value, quality and accountability. And, like all our vendor relationships, it comes down to trust.”
AECI Utility Solutions has served the public power sector for over 70 years, providing materials, construction services and infrastructure support to utilities across five states. The capital credit check delivered to OEC was part of AECI’s broader effort to return value to its cooperative members.
By working with other cooperatives, we ensure we’re being responsible stewards of our members’ investments. The capital credit check represents more than just a return of funds; it directly reduces what we spend on transformers, helping us redirect costs toward other priorities and invest where our members need it most.
As OEC continues to grow, Grace said partnerships — both long-standing and new — are essential to meeting member needs.
“This is just one example of the many strong relationships we rely on,” Grace said. “We’re thankful for every partner who helps us serve our members well.”

EASY PEASY HOT APPLE CIDER
Ingredients
4 gallons of Honeycrisp apple cider 1 cup Red Hots candy 8-9 cinnamon sticks
Directions
1. Pour apple cider into a large pot and turn the heat to high. Cider does not need to boil, just heated enough to melt the red hots.
2. Add red hots and cinnamon sticks. Stir occasionally until cider reaches desired temperature. Red hots might stick to the bottom of the pan, but they will eventually fully melt.
3. Enjoy!
Note: If you can't find honeycrisp apple cider, regular apple cider will do in a pinch!
