Oakdale Electric Cooperative (OEC) is a distribution co-op, meaning we purchase our power from Dairyland Power Cooperative based in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Learn more about DPC's comprehensive sustainable energy plan and current resources. 
Energy Resources
To work toward a lower carbon footprint and offset high demand costs, OEC has implemented three solar gardens. The SunnyOak Community Solar Garden began operating in 2017 and provides members a viable and affordable option to purchase renewable solar energy on a voluntary basis. Currently under construction, two large utility-scale solar array projects will be located near Mauston (Lemonweir Solar) and New Lisbon (Webster Creek Solar). All three solar gardens combined will be able to power approximately 856 homes annually.
