The all new Ripley Energy Center, under construction by AECI near Ripley, Oklahoma, will meet the energy needs of members across the region. The facility will operate as a natural gas peaking unit, which will be available to quick-start and run on-demand during periods of peak energy use, allowing members the power they need during the hot and cold peak times.
Due to extreme heat, HOEC has issued a PEAK ALERT. Please alternate or avoid use of major appliances (washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens and stoves) from 2 pm until 7 pm today. Raise thermostats a few degrees if possible. If a new peak electrical demand is set it could cost the cooperative and members hundreds of thousands of dollars in the future.
Remember, you can make a difference.

Responsibilities:
The Environmental Protection Agency is taking a closer look at energy regulations that have challenged reliable and affordable electricity. By reviewing and reevaluating rules like the power plant rule and the mercury and air rule, the EPA is working to protect both American energy independence and the environment.
You can help beat the peak by waiting to do energy-intensive chores, such as washing and drying clothes, during times when energy demand is lower. Learn more ways to keep your energy bill stable through the scorching heat.
