Board meetings and strategic plans from Oklahoma Municipal Power Authority (OMPA)
The Board of Directors engaged in strategic discussions during a Planning Retreat focused on long-term goals and industry challenges, including a site tour of the Charles D. Lamb Energy Center. Key actions included the appointment of a new board member, authorization of a loan for substation construction, and approval of hardware purchases for system upgrades. Additionally, the Board authorized mass communication system implementation, the extension of power sales agreements, and the purchase of replacement maintenance equipment. Financial reports were reviewed and approved, along with the Fiscal 2025 Audit.
The special meeting commenced with a safety minute regarding space heater safety.

Additionally, the Board approved a Distribution Troubleshooter Service Agreement for several municipalities and accepted a bid from Red Dirt Services for pole replacement in 2026. Updates were provided on Turbine Generator bids and a planned contract termination with ONETA, resulting in a $3 million savings over three years.
