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.

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

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
