Years ago, neighbors came together and formed our co-op for the common good. In our case, it was the only way the community could bring electricity to the area where there was none. In doing so, Oakdale Electric Cooperative (OEC) helped the community thrive.
Today, we are continuing to power the community. While our focus has remained steady on providing reliable energy to our members, today’s energy landscape and consumer expectations are far different than they were decades ago. That’s why we are constantly evolving, to keep pace with changing technology, changing member needs, and new expectations.
Serving as your trusted energy partner means we want to help you save energy and provide advice and information on a broad range of energy topics. For example, if you are looking for ways to save energy, check out www.oakdalerec.coop for energy-saving tips and ideas to increase the energy efficiency of your home. Consider scheduling a free energy audit with one of our energy experts to identify ways you can save energy at home.
If you are considering a solar installation, our energy services department would be happy to give you an unbiased view of the pros and cons. Investing in a solar system is a major decision, and it’s important to fully understand the costs, responsibilities, and potential energy savings. Unlike a solar company that has one objective––to sell their products and services––we will look at the total energy picture and help you determine the best options for your home. We understand that homeowners must undertake their due diligence, and we are here to help you through that process.
In a similar vein, we recognize that members are considering electric vehicles (EV). OEC provides information about EV charging and electrical requirements to our members so you can make informed decisions about EVs. We can provide a candid assessment of residential and business charging requirements for all types of EVs. Later this summer, OEC will also offer ways to save on EV charging. No matter what our members drive, we want to help you achieve energy savings.
Service is deeply ingrained into who we are. We continue to evolve with the times, and in return, we have found additional ways to work with you and provide more options to power your life. We are here whenever you need us. Connect with us online, in person, through SmartHub, or our social media channels.
