KAMO Power

KAMO Power is an Energy startup founded in 1941 with the slogan, "KAMO exists to serve the needs of its member cooperatives by providing Safe, Reliable, Affordable & Responsible power." The company, with headquarters in Vinita, Oklahoma, operates as a Generation and Transmission (G&T) cooperative, serving 17 member distribution cooperatives in northeast Oklahoma and southwest Missouri. It is one of six G&T utilities that own Associated Electric Cooperative, Inc. (AECI), providing the capacity and energy needs for KAMO and the other five G&T's. KAMO Power's primary objective is to meet the needs of member cooperatives by providing safe, low-cost, reliable power. This is achieved through its high voltage transmission network, qualified and dedicated personnel, effective system operations, maintenance and planning, and long term rate stability. The company's annual sales to members exceed 5 million megawatt-hours, serving approximately 290,000 member-owners. KAMO operates as a non-profit organization, with any revenues over costs being credited back to the member-owners. This partnership between KAMO, AECI, and the five other G&T members of AECI creates a robust network of high voltage transmission and generation resources over Missouri, Northeast Oklahoma, and Southern Iowa for the benefit of member distribution cooperatives and their member owners.
