ENERGY SMART REBATES BENEFIT MEMBERS...Bill Ratliff, en-ergy efficiency analyst for Clay Electric, poses with his new heat pump. Bill was able to take advantage of Clay Electric’s Energy Smart Rebate program when he needed to upgrade his old system. His previous heat pump was not only 17 years old but it was located in the attic of his home. The new system, installed in the garage, will increase the efficiency of heating and cooling his home and lower his electric bill. The Energy Smart Rebate program has helped many of the co-op’s members make efficiency upgrades to their homes. See page 5 for complete article.

KILOWATTNEWSIN BRIEF...24 SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE THIS YEAR. . .Clay Electric will offer 24 scholarships this year. The scholarship program is limited to any public, private or home schooled high school senior whose home (primary residence) is served by Clay Electric and who will be graduating from high school at the end of the current school year (2010-2011). The senior must be planning to attend an accredited college this fall. The one-time scholarship amount is $1,000. An application is available on Clay Electric’s website (clayelectric.com), at each of the co-op’s six district offices and at area high schools. The deadline to submit an application is April 1, 2011. Scho-lastic records, activities, employment, community service and recommendations are the primary considerations.

CO-OP OFFERS EBILL STATEMENTS. . . With ClayeBill, co-op members can receive electric bill statements via email instead of getting a paper bill statement in the mail. The monthly email includes the bill statement as a PDF attachment and links to important information from the co-op. Clay eBill participants can pay the bill online by clicking the “pay my bill” link in the email, or utilize any of the co-op’s other payment op-tions.

CREDIT CARD PAYMENT OPTION AVAILABLE. . . Clay Electric has added another convenient payment option for its members. The co-op has partnered with Western Union Speed-Pay, an independent service provider, to accept credit and debit card transactions online and over the phone. There are four convenient ways to pay your electric bill using your major credit card or debit card. 1. Visit the Western Union SpeedPay website: https://paynow7.speedpay.com/clayelectric/index.asp. 2. Call Western Union SpeedPay at 1-888-822-0545. 3. Visit Clay Electric’s website (www.clayelectric.com) and log in to the Account Information System through “My Account Logon” on the home page. 4. Call Clay Electric directly and use our Automated Voice Re-sponse System (the phone number can be found on your electric bill). A processing fee of $3.65 will be charged by WesternUnion SpeedPay. Clay Electric does not receive any portion of this fee. For questions regarding credit card payments, please call your local district office.

WEATHERIZATION PROGRAM HAS NEW NUMBER. . . In a story about the Department of Energy’s Weatherization As-sistance Program that appeared in the November Kilowatt, the contact phone number that was published for Clay County was recently changed. According to Guy Price, the number to call for the Weatherization Program in Clay County is 904-215-1229. Price says they’re still accepting applications.


The General Manager’s ReportRicky Davis

Members of Clay Electric enjoy benefits that customers of other utilities don’t receive

served on the Florida statewide association board. Others have served at the national level. Angus Hastings of Fort Mc-Coy served as president of the electric cooperative’s national association, the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association in Washington, D. C. in 1981-82. That’s a very prestigious posi-tion. The many years of devoted service to Clay Electric and related organizations reflects well on Mr. Hastings and the other board members who have served for so long and have dedicated so much time to ensuring that Clay Electric is one of the best in serving its members. Clay Electric has a nine-mem-ber board of trustees. The duties of the board of trustees include meeting monthly at the central office in Keystone Heights. They review a variety of issues which have an impact on the co-op, including financial and operational reports. The board establishes overall policies and it also declares Capital Credits. Earlier this year, they declared a $5 million refund. Later this month three trustee district meetings will be held in accordance with the co-op’s bylaws (see notice on page 6). The bylaws require that three trustee district meetings be held for the purpose of select-ing one or two members within each district to be candidates for trustee. After the members are selected at the meetings, their names are placed on the ballot at the Annual Meeting (March 24) to be voted upon by all members who attend and register to vote. Trustee district meetings are scheduled for Districts 2, 4 and 6. Kelley Smith of Palatka is the

There are a number of im-portant characteristics of electric cooperatives that

set them apart from other types of utilities. Ask our members what they like about Clay Elec-tric, and things like excellent service, competitive rates and reliable power are often men-tioned. Many of our members tell us that they really like the fact that we’re a non-profit utility and have refunded Capital Credits to our members for 36 consecu-tive years. Members tell us they look forward to their Capital Credits being posted on their March bills as a credit, which helps lower their power bill for that month. Entitled mem-bers who have moved away from our service area receive a refund check. At some utili-ties, any money left over at the end of the year goes into the city general fund, to be spent on road paving or some other project. At Clay, these funds are set aside and later refunded to the members. One very important aspect of receiving service from Clay Electric is the fact that the members of the co-op elect their fellow members to repre-sent them on the cooperative’s board of trustees. This utility isn’t governed by a city coun-cil or a board of directors that have little connection to or little regard for the folks receiving service. Our board of trustees consists of members who have been nominated by their friends and neighbors and voted upon by all members who attend our Annual Meeting in March. Many of our board members have many years of service on our board, plus several have

incumbent trustee for District 2. Carl Malphurs of Alachua is the incumbent trustee for District 4 and Floyd Gnann of Middleburg is the incumbent trustee for District 6. We’ve been fortunate to have a board that is dedicated to the co-op and has provided excel-lent leadership. Their support of management and employees has been extraordinary and this support has contributed to the success of Clay Electric. Check membership name before attending meeting As printed in the Notice of District Meetings on page 6, members who reside within Trustee Districts 2, 4, & 6 are eligible to register and vote at their respective trustee district meeting. If you plan to attend one of these meetings and vote, you’ll want to make sure your Clay Electric membership in-cludes your name. To avoid problems during registration, it’s important that your name is included in the membership name on your ac-count as printed on your electric bill. If you have a concern about your registration or voting eligibility, check the member-ship name on your electric bill. If it needs changing, drop by your nearest district office and complete an Affidavit to Change Name on Account(s). Both persons involved in the name change will have to sign the form. Voting accounts other than residential require the person requesting to register and vote the account be autho-rized to do so on behalf of the account.

Proverbs 16:24

As previously announced, the board of trustees in October approved

an increase in the monthly customer charge in order to recover rising expenses associ-ated with maintaining service to members’ active accounts. The change went into effect the first of this month. The customer charge in-creased $3, from $11 to $14. A customer charge isn’t unique to Clay Electric. Other utilities commonly include a customer charge on their bills, although they may call it something else, like an access charge. The customer charge helps the co-op recover expenses associated with maintaining members’ ac-tive accounts and maintaining the distribution system so it’s safe and reliable. Clay Electric has seen the cost of poles, wire, transformers, service drops and meters continue to rise, and the board determined that a $3

Customer charge increases, PCA is loweredincrease in our customer charge was prudent. In addition, there is a decrease in the Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) portion of members’ electric bills due to a legal settle-ment between Seminole Electric (Clay’s wholesale power sup-plier) and CSX railroad. The board also approved a small kilowatt hour (kWh) rate increase. The need for a small rate increase was due to Clay’s cost of operations and mate-rials continuing to go up in recent years. The co-op’s belt-tightening, productivity and efficiency efforts have helped a lot, but Clay had to counter rising expenses. Clay Electric doesn’t raise its rates often. In fact, Clay has increased its base rates once by 1.5 percent in the past 18 years, while the cost of running the co-op has more than doubled. The small rate increase will help ensure the coopera-tive’s financial health remains

strong so it can continue to meet members’ service and power needs in the coming years. Members who consume 1,000 kWh of electricity will see an increase of only 80 cents on their power bills beginning on Jan. 1, and that’s taking into account the small rate increase, the higher customer charge and a lower Power Cost Adjustment. It’s important to remember that beginning in mid-December there were periods of cold weather when nighttime tem-peratures dropped into the teens and highs only reached the mid-40s. These conditions can mean higher electricity bills because heating systems run longer to maintain homeowners’ desired comfort levels. December holi-day events in the home also add to energy consumption because more friends and family visit, there’s additional cooking, more hot water usage, more decora-tive lighting in and around the home, more parties, etc.

Intense polarization on both sides of the aisle means that the new Congress will struggle to find consensus on energy legislation, climate

change and a host of issues important to co-ops

Stalemate seen in new Congress over energyand consumers, according to NRECA CEO Glenn English. While it’s possible the 112th Congress could enact some major legislation, English said it is more likely to be characterized by gridlock, since

the recent elections toppled dozens of moderate Repub-licans and Democrats, and strengthened the hand of more liberal Democrats and conserva-tive Republicans. “It appears as though the ex-tremes of both political parties


Members of Clay Elec-tric have responded favorably to the

co-op’s Energy Smart Rebate Program since it was introduced just over three 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 month-ly power bills. The Rebate Program also helps the co-op re-duce its demand for wholesale electricity during peak demand times, said Sherman Phillips, manager of the co-op’s Energy Services Division. Since the program’s start in 2007, 3,331 rebates have been issued that total $831,209. The energy efficiency improvements associated with those rebates will help participating members lower their combined energy usage by nearly 17.5 million kilowatt hours. These savings will be recurring annually. Rebates are available for attic insulation, high efficiency heat pumps, solar water heating, window film, radiant barriers, heat pump water heaters and heat recovery units.The Basics Rebates are available to Clay Electric residential members who are making efficiencyupgrades to their primary residence (located on the co-op’s lines). The residence can be aconventional site-built or manu-factured home. To qualify for a rebate, the member must complete and submit an application within 60 days from the day the energy 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.

Ceiling Insulation Upgrades Today’s Florida Energy Ef-ficiency Codes (FEEC) require a minimum of R19 ceiling insula-tion. To receive a rebate, the exist-ing insulation level must be less than R19 as determined by aninsulation contractor or custom-er verification. This rebate is for existing residences only.Heating, Ventilation and Air ConditioningThis rebate is offered to encour-age the use of heat pumps that are more energy efficient than those currently required by the FEEC. (BTUs and SEER rating determine rebate amount) The new system must be re-placing electric resistant (strip) heat with central air condi-tioning or less efficient heat pump(s).Solar Water Heating This rebate is offered to encourage the use of passive or active type Solar Water Heating Systems. The proposed solar system must meet the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) speci-fications and be installed by a contractor currently certified to install solar water heating systems by the Florida Depart-ment of Professional Regulation Construction Industry Licens-ing Board. The rebate is awarded based on system British Thermal Unit (BTU) output of $0.01 per Btu. The rebate maximum is $600. The collector must be positioned for optimum perfor-mance and guaranteed against freeze damage.Window Film This rebate is offered to help reduce the solar heat gain through glass/windows which ultimately contributes to air

conditioning run time. To receive a rebate, the window film must have a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) of less than .45 and be applied to windows that have a western, eastern or southern orientation and are not shaded by porches, awnings or foliage. The value of the rebate is calculated at $0.44 per square foot of glass area.Radiant Barrier This rebate is offered to help reduce attic temperatures which ultimately contribute to air con-ditioning run time. To receive a rebate, the radi-ant barrier must be installed on the underside of the top cord of the roofing truss or rafter and be vented from the eave to ridge vents or off the ridge vents. The value of the rebate is cal-culated at $0.28 per square foot of conditioned ceiling area. To be eligible for the rebate, exist-ing ceiling insulation must be less than R19.Heat Pump Water Heater This rebate, valued at $175, promotes more efficient heat-ing of water than through a standard conventional electric resistant model.Heat Recovery Unit This rebate is offered to promote a more efficient way of heating water in conjunction with a standard conventional electric resistant model. Re-cipients of this rebate must be a CEC member and the heat re-covery unit must be installed in the primary residence receiving electrical service from CEC. The value of the rebate is $200. “We encourage members who are considering participating in our rebate program to carefully read the instructions and com-plete the entire application,” said Phillips.

are thriving. More people feel compromise is a bad word, even though compromise has always been required for our government to work since the days of its founding,” said English, a former 10-term congressman from Oklahoma. “If you’re looking for status quo government, this is your kind of Congress. But if you need something done, you’ve got a problem.” English said stalemate in legislation often results in action by regulation. “We are very concerned that failures to address major issues in Congress will result in regulations in areas like climate change that will result in much higher electric bills for our members.” EPA regulation of greenhouse gas emis-sions under the Clean Air Act kicks in Jan. 2. NRECA supports a two-year regulatory timeout

sponsored by Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV, D-W.Va., but English said the fate of that proposal is in doubt. “Everyone on all sides agrees that the worst possible option is EPA regulation under the Clean Air Act,” he said. “But unless the Rockefeller bill comes up, we are going to see rules and regulations issued by EPA. Congress was unable to come to a decision on this issue, and it’s even more polarized now. We are joining in court actions and numerous regulatory filings, but odds of success are not good.” English said a first order of business for co-ops will be educating a record number of incoming senators and representatives on the significance of the cooperative model and why co-ops are focused on affordable electric bills. Congress will have 109 new members, 93 of them in the House. That represents the largest class of House freshmen since the 1940s. More than one-third has never held elected office.

Capitol Hill more polarized than ever, says NRECA CEOFrom page 4
