Perspective

Join us at the polls on Election Day, Nov. 3Our co-op’s number one priority is

providing our members with safe, reliable and affordable electricity. But doing this job requires a lot more than stringing and maintaining power lines throughout our service territory. It requires political engagement. That may seem far removed from our core mission, but it’s absolutely essential to serving you.

That’s why we participate in a national program of America’s electric cooperatives called Co-ops Vote. Co-ops Vote encourages all co-op members to participate in national, state and local elections while educating political candidates and elected officials about the important role played by electric cooperatives in their communities.

The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, the service organization representing the nation’s electric co-ops, launched Co-ops Vote in 2016. Co-ops Vote started as a national non-partisan get-out-the-vote initiative that helped drive rural voter turnout in the 2016 presidential election.

Through this program, electric co-ops realized they had a unique advantage: As co-ops, the civic virtue of voting is in our DNA. We show concern for community — one of the seven cooperative principles

— through participation in our democracy.Co-ops have another advantage. Elected

officials and decision-makers across the political spectrum trust us because of the work the electric cooperative family has put into political engagement. When we all get involved, we can make things happen politically and in our local communities.

Reliable electricity, rural infrastructure and keeping rates stable are just a few

of the issues we all care about. Our participation in Co-ops Vote

helps to ensure that rural issues remain part of the national

discussion — and are supported by our elected officials. But Co-ops Vote isn’t just for co-ops. It’s for co-op members just like you.

You can participate by ensuring you are registered

to vote and commit to casting your ballot on Nov. 3 and in

subsequent elections. You can register to vote or update your information online at RegisterToVoteFlorida.gov. The deadline to register or make changes for the November election is Oct. 5.

Visit the Co-ops Vote website, www.vote.coop, to learn more about your elected officials and the issues that matter in our communities.

We look forward to seeing you at the polls on Election Day.

Co-op sees an increase in payment scam callsClay Electric employees

received several reports of telephone scam attempts the past few months. The calls to members were from someone threatening to disconnect their power if they didn’t receive immedi-ate payment.

The cooperative is once again reminding its residential and commercial members that it does not make phone calls to collect on past due bills or to offer

unsolicited services. “We urge our members to

ignore suspicious requests for personal information such as bank accounts, credit card numbers, user names and passwords, or Social Security numbers,” said Chief Public Relations Officer Derick Thomas.

Phone scammers have become more sophisticated, using local phone numbers and Caller ID name masking to trick members

into answering their calls.Clay Electric encourages

its members to be very suspicious of anyone who calls and wants to be paid for a bill. The co-op sends a reminder letter for past due bills. Members who are suspicious of someone claiming they’re with the power company should hang up and call the co-op at 1-800-224-4917, not the number the person on the phone provides.

newsbriefs

Full steam ahead for new natural gas power plantConstruction is underway on a new plant that

will deliver cleaner and more affordable power to members.

Clay Electric’s wholesale power provider, Seminole Electric Cooperative, began construction of a new highly efficient natural gas-fired generation facility earlier this year. Currently named the Seminole Combined Cycle Facility, the plant is being constructed directly adjacent to the existing Seminole Generating Station site in Putnam County and will provide 1,050 megawatts of reliable electric generation.

The facility will use two natural-gas fired GE 7HA.02 combustion turbines connected to two duct-fired Heat Recovery Steam Generators along with one GE D652 steam turbine to generate power.

Construction of the plant is proceeding on schedule and within budget. It is scheduled to be commercially operational by the fall of 2022.

The plant is being financed with $727 million in rural development loans from the United States Department of Agriculture. USDA loans are issued at below market interest rates, which will save Seminole’s members, including Clay Electric, millions of dollars over the life of the facility.

When the new gas-fired plant is complete, the project plan calls for removing one of the coal-fired units at the Seminole Generating Station. The removal of the coal-fired unit is projected to result in a 40 percent reduction in air pollutants and a 34 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions at the site, with a 27 percent increase in power output.

Seminole CEO and General Manager Lisa D. Johnson called the plan “a balanced approach that will let us generate power more competitively with natural gas, while managing the risk and unpredictability of potential future policy changes relating to carbon emissions associated with coal.”

Planning for the project began with Seminole’s Board, which includes representatives from Clay, in December 2015 when the Board unanimously identified a need to secure additional power supply resources beginning in the 2021-22 time frame.

“We, our employees, and our community are proud of SGS and our leadership in environmental responsibility and sustainability in the U.S.,” Johnson said. “By continuing the operation of one unit, we maintain a valuable asset in our energy portfolio, while maintaining fuel diversity.”

A stainless steel demineralized water storage tank (left) with four levels of plate work complete is shown. A carbon steel service/fire water storage tank on the right has six levels complete and will soon receive its roof.

The Seminole Combined Cycle Facility is under construction. The plant is next to the existing Seminole Generating Station site in Putnam County.

Meet Sam, Clay Electric’s new safety mascotnewsbriefs

At Clay Electric, safety remains at the forefront of our priorities and goals. Whether working in the office or out in the field, safety is everyone’s job.

One way the co-op promotes safety is by reminding employees and members how they can stay safe when it comes to electrical hazards. To support this effort, Clay Electric and Seminole Electric Cooperative, Clay’s wholesale power provider, have worked together to create a safety mascot to point out safety hazards in different scenarios that employees and members face on a regular basis.

The mascot is Safety Sam, a safety

professional who identifies unsafe environments and points out the electrical hazards you should avoid.

Periodically, he will tell employees and members a story about safety, the do’s and don’ts, and what to do if you find yourself in one of these situations. From distribution rights-of-way to the sidewalks outside of your home, Safety Sam will leave no stone unturned when looking for safety hazards.

Safety doesn’t have a “season” or an expiration date. Safety Sam will continue to remind us of safety hazards and reminders throughout the year.

Meter specialists begin inspecting systemAfter AMI electric meters replaced

traditional analog meters throughout the co-op’s service territory in 2019 and 2020, meter specialists had a new task added to their responsibilities: last span inspections.

Meter specialists, formerly known as meter readers, are now assigned sections of their district to visit and visually inspect from the meter socket to the last point of connections for the service. This involves looking at each facility on a schedule, and requires access to a member’s property.

These inspections provide a way to continue to observe and inspect the meter and the last span to the service location, according to Chief Operating Officer Frank Holmes. One of the main purposes is to identify and correct hazards that could be safety-related or could impact the reliability of the distribution system.

The meter specialists are looking at three main areas: the service location, the meter socket and the last span. Some of the items they are finding include current diversions, safety issues and attachment issues.

Senior Engineer Robert Erestain designed the spreadsheet the meter specialists use to record their findings.

He noted they can observe and report any discrepancies that may exist, such as a broken pedestal cover or holes in a pad mount transformer, missing or incorrect map location labels, or missing or broken locking devices. Other items that may be noted include overhead

service wires with insufficient clearance to ground and leaning meter poles.

“This gives the meter specialists and other employees the opportunity to lay eyes on sections of the system on an interval,” Erestain said.

The meter specialists have taken training to learn the process for the last span inspections. Palatka District Meter Specialist Joel Altman said he incorporates the last span inspections into the other duties that are now part of his weekly work schedule. He said some of the issues he has found are missing wire covers or attachments to poles that

do not belong.Once Altman returns to his truck, he

enters his findings into the spreadsheet and notes any issues.

The spreadsheets are sent to the co-op’s Engineering Department weekly.

Erestain looks over the data and compiles it into reports for each district to use as they follow up on any issues uncovered in the inspections.

The last span inspections assist the co-op with maintaining the distribution system and help provide a safe and reliable supply of electricity to our members.

Palatka District Meter Specialist Joel Altman looks at a home’s meter during a recent last span inspection. The inspections help the co-op deliver safe and reliable electricity.

We still need to access your meterClay Electric’s AMI meters include technology allowing

them to be read without physical access to the meter. These meters improve meter reading efficiencies and accuracy, but even with remote reading capabilities, the member is responsible for keeping the meter clear of obstructions and providing Clay Electric access to the meter.

When applying for electric service, each member provided a signed easement granting the cooperative access to the meter. The meter is the property of Clay Electric and we require access to read the meter in order to bill for services rendered, ensure accurate readings and complete routine maintenance.

Member responsibilities include:

• Clay Electric personnel are strangers and their presence in your “territory” can provoke a pet. If you have a dog, or access to your service is through a locked gate, please make sure that your dog is locked up and the gate is unlocked.

• Clear tall grass, shrubs, fencing, leaves, etc. that may hide or damage the meter.

• Ensure cars and dumpsters are not blocking the meter.• Provide special instructions for Clay Electric personnel, or

whatever else is necessary to provide meter access.Please make every effort to keep your meter accessible, or to

fix any situation preventing access. After a visit when we are unable to access the meter, we will leave a door hanger to let you know the reason the meter was inaccessible or obstructed.
