- W319321736 abstract "In October, 1995, the Oklahoma Legislature, through its Legislative Electric Utility Task Force, began a careful examination of issues involved in restructuring the state's electric utility industry. The Task Force was made possible through passage of Senate Joint Resolution 29, which provided for a series of information-gathering hearings. Funding for the Task Force Hearings was made possible by a grant from the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL). The purpose of the Task Force was to try and settle on a public policy for electric service providers in Oklahoma that was agreeable with current and proposed federal policies, and at the same time, meet the changing needs and demands of citizens residing in and doing business in the state. Eventually, these Task Force hearings led to restructuring legislation being introduced and passed by the Oklahoma Legislature in both the '97 and '98 Legislative sessions. All electric service providers operating within the state were allowed to make presentations to the Task Force at various times on a wide variety of issues. As the Task Force narrowed its focus, four key issues began to emerge as being critical to Oklahoma's electric utility restructuring effort. Those four issues were: 1. Feasibility of an Independent System Operator (ISO) 2. Technical Issues Associated with Electric Utility Restructuring 3. Financial Issues Related with Restructuring (taxes, transition fees, etc.) 4. Consumer Issues (social programs, stranded costs to be borne, etc.) The Oklahoma Association of Electric Cooperatives (OAEC), a statewide association comprised of 28 electric distribution cooperatives and two generation and transmission cooperatives, outlined position statements for each of the four primary issues. All positions were recommended and approved by the OAEC Government Relations and Corporation Commission Board Committees, and were authorized by the OAEC Board of Directors. It should be noted here that OAEC's comments on these critical issues were inclusive and dependent, meaning that support for any restructuring legislation in the state was contingent upon rural electric cooperative positions being incorporated into any subsequent industry restructuring bill. Leveling the Playing Field with help from an unlikely source Recognizing early on that customer choice of commodity electricity suppliers was going to be the single-most important theme of industry restructuring in the state, managers and directors from Oklahoma's electric cooperatives began to discuss the ramifications of choice, how each distribution cooperative would be impacted, and, consequently, how the two cooperatively-owned GT (2) had kWh sales that averaged more than 14 times less per mile of powerline than sales of the state's two largest IOUs; and (3) had more than 2 and 1/2 times the miles of distribution powerline than the IOUs combined? The answer to these questions was found at an unlikely place: the United States Postal Service. RFDs and RECs Beginning in 1896, the concept of Rural Free Delivery, or RFD, was incorporated into the operations of the U.S. Postal Service. For the first time, rural Americans were afforded the same opportunity for daily mail service as that of their urban counterparts. The Patrons of Husbandry, also known as the National Grange, demanded Congress for rural mail service. …" @default.
