Thischaracterized Allegheny ElectricCooperative, Inc.,in1990.Thankstocontinued aggressive problemsolving,Allegheny experienced ratestability forthefourthstraightyear.Between1987and1990,Allegheny's netpowerratesactuallybilledtoour14membercooperatives roseanaverageofonly0.66percentayear.Whenadjustedforinflation, thecosttomemberco-opsactuallyfellbyanaverage4.82percentperyearthroughtheperiod.Thatlidonrateincreases isadramaticchangecomparedtothenineyearsfrom1978to1987inwhichratesroseatanaverageof11.4percentayear.Thispositivedevelop-ment,coupledwithaspateofre-tailrateincreases soughtbyinvestor-owned powercompanies, improvesourpositioncomparedtoourprivately-held competitors.

Inaddition, federalcleanairlegislation signedintolawin1990willforceprivateutilities dependent oncoal-fired generating plantstofurtherraiseratestocomplywiththelaw'requirements.

Fortunately, thetougherCleanAirActwillhaveminimalimpactonAllegheny since74percentofthepowerwedelivertoourmembersisproducedbytechnologies-hydroelectric andnuclear-thatdonotcausetheairpollution theActisdesignedtocleanup.BothofAllegheny's generating facilities

-theSusquehanna SteamElectricStation,anuclearpowerplant,andtheRaystownHydroelectric Project-performed instrongfashionin1990,producing electricity aheadofbudgetedgoals.Theco-opalsoworkedsuccessfully duringtheyeartooptimizeourresourcebasethroughbulkpowertransactions.

Theyearalsobroughtunprecedented attacksagainsttheruralelectricprogram.Political ideologues attheWhiteHouseOfficeofManagement andBudget(OMB),whohaveforyearsadvocated phasingouttheRuralElectrification Administration (REA),publiclyquestioned thefinancial stability ofruralelectriccooperatives nationwide andtheloanprogramsadministered byREA.ThegenesisoftheOMBbroadside wastheirphilosophical opposition tonon-profit, consumer-owned cooperatives.

Allegheny responded toOMB'sinaccurate andhackneyed attacksastheysurfaced.

Theseeconomicdevelopment activities notonlyhelpprovidejobopportunities, butalsostabilize theeconomicbaseofruralPennsylvania andNewJersey.Thedecadeofthe1990slooksbrightforAllegheny.

Ratestability shouldcontinue; our10percentshareofSusquehanna powerwillgrowinvalueasMid-Atlanticpowermarketstighten;ourdemand-side management effortswillcontinuetoprovidebenefitswellintothe21stCentury.In1990,realprogresswasmadetowardstheorganization's primarylong-term goal:providing ruralelectriccooperative consumer-members withadequateandreliablesuppliesofreasonably-priced electricservice.

Allegheny ElectricCooperative, Inc.Allegheny ElectricCooperative, Inc.,basedinHarrisburg, Pennsylvania, isanelectricgeneration andtransmission (G&T)cooperative ownedandoperatedbythe14ruralelectriccooperatives inPennsylvania andNewJersey.Allegheny istheexclusive wholesale powersupplierforthesedistribution systems.Throughthem,itservesmorethan600,000ruralresidents andbusinesses.

Federalhelpwasneededtoelectrify ruralAmerica.WiththecreationoftheRuralElectrification Administration (REA)byPresidential orderin1935,thingsbegantochange.Armedwithlowinterestloansandtechnical advicefromREA,ruralpeoplesetthemselves tothetaskignoredbytheprivatepowercompanies.

Ruralelectriccoopera-tivesbeganspringing up,asruralresidents bandedtogethertosetpolesandstringwiretobringelectricity totheirhomes,farmsandbusinesses.

Butoncethepoleswereset,ruralpeoplestillneededasourceofpower.Thatsourcewasthesameprivatepowercompanies whoserefusaltoserveruralAmericapromptedformation oftheco-ops.By1944,leadersofPennsylvania's buddingruralelectriccooperatives realizedthat,assmallindividual groups,theywerestillatthemercyofthelargeprivatepowercompanies inbuyingelectricity.

AnREAreportthatyearnotedPennsylvania's ruralresidents servedbyco-opswerepayingelectricrateshigherthanthoseenjoyedbymostco-opsacrossthenation.Something hadtobedone.Asaresult,Pennsyl-vania'scooperatives in1945formedAllegheny ElectricCooperative, Inc.toserveastheirwholesale powersupplier.

Withthebargaining powerofallthecooperatives behindit,Allegheny wasabletonegotiate wholesale ratesthatimmediately savedtheco-ops20percentontheirpowerbills.Byachieving acompetitive rateforpoweronashort-term basis,thememberco-opsofAllegheny couldnowcontinuetheirexpansion, bringingthebenefitsofelectricity tothe75,000ruralfamiliesstillwithoutelectricservice.Intheearlyyears,long-rangepowersupplywasnotapriorityfortherelatively newcooperatives.

However,asrural lleghenyElectricCooperative, Inc.areasgrew,sodidtheneedtobetterinsureanadequatepowersupplynotdependent onpurchases fromprivatepowercompanies.

In1966,Allegheny tookamajorstridetowardthisgoalwhen,havingachievedstatusasapreference

In1977,Allegheny contracted topurchase10percentownership intheSusquehanna SteamElectricStation(SSES),a2,100megawatt, two-unitnuclearpowerplantlocatednearBerwick,Pa.In1990,thefacilitysupplied56percentofAllegheny's energyneeds.Allegheny officially enteredaneweraonJune15,1988,whentheRaystownHydroelectric Project,WilliamF.MatsonGenerating Station,wasdeclaredincommercial operation.
