OAEC
The Oklahoma Association of Electric Cooperatives is a statewide association created and supported by local electric distribution and generation/transmission cooperatives. OAEC is comprised of 30 member systems, 28 in Oklahoma and two Arkansas systems with a portion of their membership residing in Oklahoma.

- Obtain the fairest possible treatment from state and local governments by acquainting legislators, congressional leaders and other governmental officials with the electric cooperative program.
- Enlist the active support of communities by explaining the value of electric cooperatives to the local community and its economy.
