Ouachita Electric Cooperative Named Electric Cooperative Utility of the Year
Smart Electric Power Alliance recently named Ouachita Electric Cooperative Corporation (OECC) Electric Cooperative Utility of the Year for its work with solar developer Silicon Ranch and the Arkansas Electric Cooperatives Corporation to build a 12-MW solar array. The project, located at the Highland Industrial Park, was the first utility-scale solar array in Arkansas. It has helped reduce peak demand and has lowered the cost of power for all OECC members.
