75 Years of Service
Wild Rice Electric Cooperative is celebrating 75 years of
service this year. To mark this milestone, we will be publishing
the history of the co-op in a three-part series over the next few
newsletters. It is fascinating to look back at the co-op’s origins
and think about how far we’ve come over the past 75 years!
Part 1 of 3
Named after a grain that grows wild in
shallow northern lakes, Wild Rice Electric
Cooperative, Inc., had its first sparks of life
on August 15th, 1939.
Serving a region consisting of Mahnomen
County and parts of Becker, Clay, Norman,
and Polk Counties, plus a small part of
Clearwater County, it has been characterized as having a split personality. Divided
down the middle by Highway 59, the east
half is an area of lake country much in demand among vacationers who build lakeside cottages or stop off at resorts while
the west half is largely farming country.
In 1935, this area had become part of the
territory that was to be served by Lake
Region Co-op Electrical Association, with
headquarters first in Fergus Falls and later
in Pelican Rapids. While other sections
were getting electricity, the northern section had been bypassed.
Finally, on that summer day in 1939,
something was being done. A meeting was
held at the Town Hall in the small town of
Flom in Norman County. A group of people listened attentively as a farmer named
Peter Ingebretson of Ulen introduced

CEO
Winter is Just Ahead
As I write this article we are experiencing the first significant snowfall of this
winter season which reminds us the
year of 2014 is coming to an end and
very cold temperatures lie just around
the corner. Although it is likely this first
snow will be gone by tomorrow, the
cruel fact remains that winter is inevitable if you live in Northern Minnesota.
Heating, no matter the method used,
becomes a challenge and is costly
during the winter season. As you know,
last year propane prices increased dramatically right when everyone needed
it most. Many members had little
option but to pay those high prices. I
encourage you to look at electric heating options for this winter and beyond.
Wild Rice Electric’s dual heat rate of
5.3 cents per kilowatt hour, plus Minnkota’s four mill surcharge, is equivalent
to propane at $1.38 per gallon or fuel
oil at $1.40 per gallon. Options for
heating with electricity include the use
of baseboards, boilers, plenum heaters,
air source heat pumps, and ground
source heat pumps. In addition to dual
heating, other load control programs
are available. An adequate backup
heating system is required to take advantage of these load control programs.
Rebates are available for converting to
a number of those options. If you are
interested in more information, contact
our Member Services Department at
(218) 935-2517 or (800) 244-5709.
Another reminder for members who
have electric heat for their primary
residential heating system is that your
electric bills for the heat portion are
exempt from Minnesota State Sales Tax
from November to April each year. To
qualify, an Exemption Certificate (found
elsewhere in this copy of the Rural
DeLight) is required to be on file. All
certificates signed during previous years
are on file and no refiling is necessary.
If you qualify and are being taxed on
your bill for the heating portion, please
complete the certificate and return it to
our office. If you have questions, contact our Billing Department for details.
Safety is a Priority
Wild Rice Electric promotes safety to our employees, directors, and
members. Our goal is to create and
maintain a culture of safety in the workplace, reduce accident frequency and
severity, and expand to an even higher
compliance level. In our business,
there is no room for error with lineworkers consistently working with 7200
volts of electricity. One wrong move
can spell disaster. Similarly, the general
public is reminded to be diligent when
it comes to respecting electricity. The
product we deliver to your homes
provides a tremendous service and
does all kinds of work. Crews occasionally notice situations where some
people have attempted to take short
cuts or tamper with electric equipment
and report it to the cooperative. When
reported we then contact the State of
Minnesota concerning the situation. If
an immediate safety hazard exists, the
service has even been disconnected
until the appropriate corrections have
been made. Should you notice a situation that simply does not look right or
appears dangerous, please contact our
office at (800) 244-5709.
Wild Rice Electric recently applied for
accreditation through the Rural Electric
Safety Achievement Program through
the National Rural Electric Cooperative
Association. The program is intended
to control and prevent work related
failures that cause fatalities, injuries,
illness, equipment damage, and damage to or destruction of property. I am
pleased and proud to report the co-op
rated very well during the extensive application and observation. This marks
the 30th straight year your cooperative has been so accredited. I would
like to express my appreciation to our
employees and board for reaching that
milestone. It isn’t an easy process and
is quite an accomplishment. Even more
importantly, it exemplifies our continued effort to create and maintain a
culture of safety.
Please keep safety in mind during this
holiday season. Many of us become involved in a host of activities during the
busy season, from decorating homes to
cooking for large family gatherings. Be
careful to check drop cords and lights.
Also use care to not overload circuits.
Slam the Scam
Minnesota utilities are joining forces to
raise customer awareness and fight back
against scams. Reports of phone and
email billing scams are increasing at
alarming rates, representing thousands
of dollars lost by victims. In an effort to
warn members and shut down scammers, an awareness campaign to “SLAM
the SCAM” has been launched. If you
think you are targeted by a scammer to
simply end the conversation – SLAM
down the phone. Scammers tell intended victims their account is past due
and threaten disconnection. They often
require victims to pay using a pre-paid
debit card and they will email phony
bills. Protecting personal and financial
data is a top priority. If you are behind
on your bill, you will receive written
notice before a service disconnection.
Never give out personal information,
credit card numbers, or wire money as
the result of an unexplained or unsolicited call or email. Simply, if it doesn’t
feel right “SLAM the SCAM” to end
the conversation. We often think these
scams only happen in bigger cities, but
members in this region of Minnesota
have called in to report such activity.
Happy Holidays
On behalf of all of us at Wild Rice
Electric I would like to wish each of
you a happy holiday season. Please
keep safety in mind during this joyous
season.

Off-peak Members Should Expect an Average Number of
Winter Control Hours This Year
The Additional Young 2 Energy Will Help Limit Control Hours
Last winter, the so-called polar vortex sent
much of the region into a deep freeze.
Even if the cold-weather phenomenon returns this winter, members who participate
in the off-peak electric heating program
should anticipate an average number of
winter load control hours.
Minnkota Power Cooperative, your cooperative’s wholesale power provider, estimates 240 hours of dual-heat load control
this winter. This compares to the 10-year
average of 255 hours and last year’s total
of 301 hours.
The key difference from last year is that
Minnkota has increased its purchase of
energy from the Young 2 power plant by
about 114 megawatts capacity. As part
of a long-term transaction, the additional
energy from the coal-based plant will help
meet peak winter demands and future load
growth projections.
“The added Young 2 energy will reduce
our exposure to the volatility of the
wholesale energy market and should also
help limit our hours of control,” said Todd
Sailer, Minnkota senior manager of energy
supply.
Winter load control projections are based
on reliable power plant operations and
normal market conditions. Sailer warns
that load control estimates can change
due to circumstances such as storms,
power plant outages, and transmission
line congestion. The availability of wind
resources also has the ability to impact
control hours.
“If our power supply resources perform
well, we will have power to serve our
loads at almost all hours during the winter season,” Sailer said. “The challenge
comes when we have unplanned outages
or during extreme cold periods when the
demand for electricity is high.”
Surplus energy can typically be purchased from the regional wholesale
energy market at affordable prices. With
demand skyrocketing across the Midwest
last winter, prices momentarily went as
high as $2 per kWh.
“Controlling load during these periods
protects consumers from the volatility
of the market and prevents the need to
build new power plants just to serve peak
loads,” Sailer said. “The savings by doing
this are passed on to members through
the low off-peak electric rate, which is
approximately half of the regular retail
rate.”
An off-peak system consists of an electric
heating source as its primary component.
A supplemental heating source will need
to operate several hundred hours or more
during the winter season. Sailer said
members with a well-maintained backup
heating system should not notice a difference in comfort level when their off-peak
heating system is controlled.
“The ability to manage costs and plan
for the heating season is one of the many
benefits of the off-peak electric heating
program,” Sailer said.
Millions of dollars have been saved due
to the successful operation of Minnkota’s
load management system over the past 36
years.
“Load management is a vital tool for
Minnkota and the associated systems to
use to keep wholesale power prices competitive and winter heating bills low for
retail consumers,” Sailer said.
Electric Heat Rebates Available
Great new incentives are available for the
installation of qualifying electric heating
equipment. Cooperative members will receive
$20 per kilowatt (kW) installed with a maximum rebate of $600. The system must be the
primary heating source in the building and on
the off-peak program with a qualified backup
heating source. The system must be hardwired; plug-in systems are not eligible.
Some restrictions apply. Please contact the
cooperative’s member services department for
more information.
