Perspective

Change is happening at a rapid pace these days. Just in the last few years, many changes have taken place that af-fect nearly every aspect of our lives. Your electric cooperative is no dif-ferent. This summer, we will begin to implement an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), a meter system that will offer you a number of exciting new benefits. Advanced meters use digital tech-nology to read your electric use and communicate it to us over a secure wireless network. We know Clay Electric members ex-pect more from their cooperative and expect it to use technology to provide them with information about their power usage, outages, expected time of restoration, etc. With advanced meters, we’ll be able to find out what’s wrong with your meter, turn power on and off remotely, and perform other customer service tasks much more quickly than before. You’ll also have more information about how much power you use and when, giving you more control. Here are five reasons why Clay Electric decided to implement an AMI system:

▶ Provide new payment options to members. ▶ Optimize maintenance and re-placement operations by being able to predict where and when new infra-structure assets would be needed. ▶ Improve outage detection – CEC will be able to identify outages quicker and restore power quicker. ▶ Put members in control by provid-ing daily energy use data which can help members troubleshoot high bill problems as well as manage their daily use of power. ▶ Improve electric service reliability and power quality – fewer outages, blinks and surges. We will be upgrading your electric meter with a new advanced meter at no cost to you. You will receive more in-formation by mail and telephone prior to installation. Installation of the new meters is anticipated to begin in 2018. To learn more about the new me-ters and services coming to you, read through our FAQs and more details on pages 4 and 5 in this newsletter. I am proud to offer this technology to our members as we work to provide excellent service now and into the future.

New meter technology means improved service & communication

Employees and trustees from many of Florida’s electric cooperatives gathered in Tallahassee this spring to hold their annual legislative appreciation cookout. The cookout is held each year near the start of the Legislative session to provide an opportunity for co-op employees to meet with lawmakers and their assistants to discuss issues important to the co-ops. Clay Electric employees and trustees attend the event each year to maintain positive relationships and open commu-nication with local lawmakers and their staffs. In addition to state representatives, senators and aides attending, this year Florida Gov. Rick Scott dropped by and visited each co-op at the event.

Clay linemen really shined at the 2017 FMEA Lineman Competition, taking home three trophies for their efforts. Nine Clay Electric employ-ees competed in the lineman rodeo, which took place on April 22 at the Tigertown com-plex in Lakeland and featured 25 journeyman teams and 73 apprentices competing in challenges that simulate day-to-day utility operations. The competition has two divisions: a journeyman lineman divi-sion and an apprentice lineman division. The journeyman team of Matt Hickey, Dave Poncher and Damian Stewart took first place in the mystery event (replace transmission timber) and third place in two other events.

Clay Electric Cooperative is in the early stages of imple-menting an advanced metering system that will improve the efficiency and reliability of its electric system and give the cooperative’s members more control over their energy use. Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is a metering and communication system that enables two-way com-munications between the co-op’s offices and meters in the field. AMI systems provide electric utilities with significant operational and service benefits. For many years, Clay Electric has made adoption of new technology a part of a strategic effort to improve efficiency and maintain strong member services, as long as the new technology made economic sense and was cost-effective. Clay Electric has been following development of the AMI program for more than 20 years. As the cost of equip-ment came down and the reliability of the more advanced electronic meters went up, the move to AMI at Clay be-came more attractive. The cooperative’s board of trustees looked at all the facts and costs and decided in early 2016 that it was time for the co-op to make the move to AMI. It was clear to the coop-erative’s management that AMI will provide significant member benefits that make the investment worthwhile. The cost of the AMI project is approximately $26 mil-lion. A financial analysis indicates the cost of this project will be offset over time through lowered operational costs, improved efficiencies and gains in productivity. The coopera-tive does not expect any additional costs to its members to install the new system. There is also no rate increase anticipated in association with this project. Many electric utilities have adopted or are in the process of implementing AMI projects.

Nationwide, 33 percent of all meters are AMI meters. In Florida, half of all meters are AMI meters, and among elec-tric cooperatives, more than 70 percent of all co-ops have deployed some type of AMI system. After years of research, planning and closely monitoring the success of other utility’s programs, Clay Electric deter-mined the time was right to implement the technology. The AMI system will provide the co-op with immedi-ate notification when a meter detects loss of service, and it provides many features to assist in ensuring that service is restored. AMI will provide the ability to offer multiple payment and billing options. AMI enables Clay Electric to provide more data to members about their usage, which empowers them to make informed decisions about their needs. Clay Electric intends to be open with its members regarding the deployment of the AMI system. The tech-nology is safe and beneficial. It will serve as a platform to deliver improved programs and services in the future that will help members make informed decisions about their electricity usage. The AMI deployment is a lengthy process involving significant planning for the software, hardware, network design and implementation of the entire system. The ven-dor selection has been a meticulous process with a cross section of professionals from Clay Electric weighing in to

ensure that service and support to members is kept as a top priority. Additionally,

Clay Electric has performed thor-ough research on the technol-

ogy, and has consulted with several utilities across the

country that already are running an AMI

network to gain from their experiences.Deployment of the back-office sys-tems and network support infra-structure will begin this sum-mer. Installation of the remaining devices is planned

for 2018-2019.

► More Convenience. We will be able to read your meter remotely and will not have to access your property every month (although we will need occa-sional access to perform routine mainte-nance).► Improved Accuracy. We will be able to read your meter more accurately.► More Control. You will be able to see

more details on how much energy you use and identify ways you can save.► More Options. You will have more payment and billing options.► Faster Outage Response. We will be better able to predict and prevent out-ages, and to respond more quickly when they do happen.

What is Advanced Metering, or AMI? AMI stands for Advanced Metering Infrastructure, a meter system that will offer our members a number of new benefits. Advanced meters use digital technology to read your electric use and communicate it to us over a secure wireless network. We’ll be able to find out what’s wrong with your meter, turn power on and off, and perform other customer service tasks much more quickly than before. You’ll also have more information about how much power you use and when, giving you more control.

Why is Clay implementing advanced meters? Advanced meters have been shown to provide significant operational and service benefits that make the invest-ment worthwhile. They offer members improved reliability and accuracy. Most electric utilities today either currently have or are planning to go to advanced meters. In Florida, half of all meters are advanced meters. Among electric

cooperatives, more than 70 percent of all co-ops have deployed some type of AMI system.

What does this mean for me? • State of the Art Technology. A new meter will be installed and your old meter will be removed by authorized personnel. You will be notified ahead of time about when this will take place. • More Convenience. We will be able to read your meter remotely and will not have to access your property every month (although we will need occa-sional access to perform routine main-tenance). • Improved Accuracy. We will be able to read your meter more accurately. • More Control. You will be able to see more details on how much energy you use and identify ways you can save. • Faster Outage Response. We will be better able to predict and prevent outages, and to respond more quickly when they do happen.

How long will the project take? The AMI project will be an extended

project involving significant planning, software system implementation, and hardware deployment. The vendor selection, planning and software imple-mentation phases will last into late 2017, with the field hardware deployment starting in 2017 and expected to last until mid-2019. This schedule is subject to change based on any issues or changes that might arise.

How will I be kept up to date on the project progress? We plan to use a number of com-munications channels to keep members informed, including the Kilowatt, the Power Line bill insert, Facebook, Clay-Electric.com and our email newsletter.

Do I have to have an advanced meter? We will be replacing all meters with digital models. If you do not wish to use the advanced metering features, you may opt out, but there will be additional costs involved to offset the expense of reading the meter.

StateoftheCo-op

20062016

I am pleased to report that while we had our share of challenges in 2016, we continued to provide each of you with affordable and reliable power while expanding the

services we offer. Last year, our focus on providing

competitively-priced power enabled us to remain lower than many other electric utilities around the state. This year, we were able to lower our Power Cost Adjustment six times, which saves you, our members, money on your electric

bill. The first decrease occurred in Feb-ruary, the second in March, followed by

another decrease in June. Then we lowered it $1 every month from September through

November. The total decrease for the year was $8 for 1,000 kilowatt hours. Clay Electric’s cost for 1,000 kWh is the third lowest rate among the 15 electric cooperatives in Florida. We are also lower than many of our neighboring utilities. Each year, more members are choosing the convenience of receiving their Clay Electric bills via email. Participation in our eBill program increased over the past year, with more than 22,000 bills now going out electronically each month. This is a more than 25 percent increase over the previous year. We continue to help our members with energy efficiency and energy conservation information and assistance. We performed 617 residential energy surveys. Our rebate program remains popular and successful, and we provided 822 members with energy efficiency improvement rebates totaling $154,438. We completed a number of construction and engineering projects last year, including installing new equipment in our substations, which enhanced the reliability of our distribu-tion and transmission systems. Phase I of construction projects in Keystone Heights was completed earlier this year. This included a new Call Center and print shop as well as a data center. Progress on Phase II

has also been made. This phase includes two new buildings which will replace the current headquarters of the co-op. The new Palatka District office opened in July and is 9,500 square feet, which is about double the square footage of the old office. In the last few years, we have undertaken a number of new construction or remodeling projects because our build-ings are showing their age, lack adequate space and need costly repairs. This fall we felt the impact of two hurricanes in our area. Hurricane Hermine made landfall on Sept. 2 and caused about 43,000 accounts to lose power. Then, just a month later, Hurricane Matthew hit on Oct. 7 and caused wide-spread damage and outages affecting more than 73,000 accounts. We enacted our Emergency Operations Plan and enlisted the help of more than 500 people from 40 other utilities and companies. Through the concerted efforts of our employees and the outside help, we were able to restore power to all accessible accounts in three days. We are proud of our employees for their dedication and teamwork. We heard from many members that they appreciated our efforts to restore power as quickly and safely as possible. Also last fall, we launched Operation Round Up, a program to generate and collect charitable donations that are used to benefit organizations in Clay Electric’s service area for the purpose of improving the quality of life of our members and their communities. We are so proud of this new program and the positive impact it has already been able to make. In closing, we accomplished much on your behalf during 2016. We must continue to prepare for the many challenges that will come our way in the future. Be assured that we will work hard to provide you with affordable and reliable power. We’ll seek new ways to serve you, and we pledge to maintain the cooperative’s financial health so that we’re ready and able to meet your power needs in the com-ing years. As always, we appreciate the opportunity to serve you.

Members of Clay Electric have responded favorably to the co-op’s Energy Smart Rebate Program since it was introduced 10 years ago. The purpose of the co-op’s Rebate Program is to help mem-bers lower their energy use, which they see in lower monthly power bills. The Rebate Program also helps the co-op reduce its demand for wholesale electricity during peak demand times, said Glenn Stanley, manager of the co-op’s Energy Services Division. Rebates are available for attic insulation, high efficiency heat pumps, solar water heating, window film, heat pump water heaters and heat recovery units. Rebates are available to Clay Electric residential members

who are making efficiency upgrades to their primary resi-dence (located on the co-op’s lines). The residence can be a conventional site-built or manufactured home. Rebates are also available to small commercial facilities. To qualify for a rebate, the member must complete and submit an application within 180 days from the day the en-ergy efficiency improvement work is completed. Rebates will be made after verification by a Clay Electric representative that the work has been completed, and the county has made its final inspection, if applicable. “We encourage members who are considering participating in our rebate program to carefully read the instructions and complete the entire application,” said Stanley.

Rebates available for energy efficiency upgrades
