KAMO Power

KAMO Electric Cooperative, Inc. (KAMO Power), with headquarters in Vinita, Oklahoma, is a Generation and Transmission (G&T) cooperative serving 17 member distribution cooperatives in northeast Oklahoma and southwest Missouri. KAMO is one of six G&T utilities that own Associated Electric Cooperative, Inc. (AECI). AECI provides the capacity and energy needs for KAMO and the other five G&T's. KAMO Power exists to serve the needs of its member cooperatives by providing safe, low-cost, reliable power. KAMO accomplishes this through its high voltage transmission network, qualified and dedicated personnel, effective system operations, maintenance and planning and long term rate stability. KAMO's annual sales to members exceeds 5 million megawatt-hours, which represents approximately 290,000 member-owners. Revenues from these sales are used to cover KAMO's expenses. Since KAMO Power and its members are non-profit organizations, any revenues over costs are credited back to the member-owners. These credits are then returned as funds are available. This partnership between KAMO, AECI and the five other G&T members of AECI creates a powerful network of high voltage transmission and generation resources over Missouri, Northeast Oklahoma and Southern Iowa for the benefit of our member distribution cooperatives and their member owners.
