2016 YEAR IN REVIEW
Cooperatives demonstrate the power of individuals joining together to accomplish what none of us could do alone.
EXECUTIVE LETTER Old Dominion Electric Cooperative s (ODEC) 11 member-owners share a history of providing outstanding service to their local communities, improving the standard of living, meeting the needs of people, and enhancing their lives. ODEC provides wholesale power to the 11 member distribution cooperatives that own and govern us. Together we serve more than 560,000 homes, farms, and businesses across Virginia, Delaware, and Maryland representing a total population of approximately 1.4 million people. Our greatest resource is the nature of our business the fact that as cooperatives, we are bound by the strength of our members and guided by cooperative principles. Into the future, ODEC will continue meeting and exceeding the needs of our members, continuing what we have become known for innovation, forward-thinking, and progressive navigation through the turbulence of a constantly changing landscape.

390K 1000 Wildcat Point 2
EXECUTIVE LETTER In 2016, construction of ODEC s newest generation facility Wildcat Point continued moving forward. Wildcat Point will be one of the cleanest natural gas facilities of its size on the East Coast and will generate approximately 1000 megawatts, enough to power 390,000 homes in the region annually. 3
The project is named for a popular cliff along the Susquehanna River 3.5 miles west of the planned facility. Located adjacent to Rock Springs Generation Facility, which has provided power since 2003, Wildcat Point will help to meet the demands of a region that will lose an estimated 16,000 megawatts of power over the next eight years as older power plants approach retirement. $33.5 M $124 M The Wildcat Point project embodies ODEC s proud tradition of service meeting real requirements in an efficient, affordable, responsible way. The facility will provide an economical source of new generating capacity to meet our members growing energy requirements. Wildcat Point also represents our cooperative principal of concern for community. For Cecil County that means the plant will create an estimated 33.5 million dollar annual impact. ODEC has also signed a revenue agreement that will dedicate roughly 124 million dollars to the county over 30 years. And, this new source of cleaner, cost-effective power will improve reliability on the region s electricity grid, benefiting all regional and local electricity users whether or not they are ODEC members. During the construction phase, Wildcat Point has employed around 1,000 construction workers, a higher number than originally estimated, and has had an annual economic impact of $100 million. During the construction process, in September of 2016, a transformer on the site, caught fire. Although the transformer had to be replaced, there were no workers injured in the incident, the Maryland Department of the Environment found no environmental impact; and aside from that isolated incident, the site has a great safety record 2.5 million work hours with no lost time due to an accident. 4

53 A ODEC claimed a place on the 2016 Co-Op 100 list, which recognizes the nation s top earning cooperatives. Ranked at spot No. 53, up from No. 59 last year, ODEC was one of 20 electric cooperatives to make the list, contributing combined revenues of more than $19.3 billion to the overall $223 billion generated by the ranking cooperatives. National Cooperative Bank annually compiles the Co-op 100 list to highlight the substantial economic impact cooperatives have in the United States. Credit rating agency Standard & Poor s (S&P) revised Old Dominion Electric Cooperative s (ODEC) financial outlook from stable to positive and reaffirmed its A issuer credit rating and A rating on its rated utility bonds.
