MATERIAL COSTS
Continued from Page 3
   “Despite the price increases, the cost of electricity
remains a great value considering all the ways we depend
on it,” Davis said. “Over the last five years, the cost of rent
increased 3.4 percent; medical care increased 2.8 percent;
and education increased 2.2 percent nationwide. But the
cost of electricity only increased 1 percent.”
   Davis said the co-op is in a strong position financially
and will continue to be because of the amount of time
employees invest in thinking about what comes next.
   “We continually strive to maintain costs, improve the
efficiency of our operation and equipment, and provide
competitive rates to our members,” he said. “This focus
began long before the pandemic and remains a guiding
light for the co-op’s strategic planning.”                            Employees are working hard to keep materials in stock.

Clay sends crew to help hurricane-ravaged Louisiana co-op restore power
Fifteen Clay Electric employees hit the road Sept. 3 to help Dixie Electric Membership Corporation restore power to its members after
Hurricane Ida battered the Gulf Coast on Aug. 29. The storm made landfall on the 16th anniversary of when Hurricane Katrina struck the
region. The co-op is headquartered in Greenwell Springs, Louisiana, and 100,000 of its 113,500 meters lost power at the height of the
storm. In August, Clay Electric employees helped West Florida Electric Co-op restore power to its members after Tropical Storm Fred
hit the Panhandle. When storms strike and cause widespread power outages, cooperatives know help from near and far will swoop in.

Students win Youth Tour scholarships, meet legislators
  Congratulations to four local high school juniors
for receiving a $1,500 scholarship that will go toward
their college expenses next year.
  The students would have visited Washington, D.C.,
in June as winners of Clay Electric’s 2021 Youth Tour
to Washington. Due to continuing health concerns
surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, the National
Rural Electric Cooperative Association canceled
the trip for the second year in a row. To recognize
the students’ achievements, Clay Electric’s Board
of Trustees voted to award them a scholarship. The
students also met virtually with elected officials in
June and will be invited soon to tour the co-op’s                      Lauren Cox                             Micah Lynn

  The scholarship winners are: Lauren Cox of Baker
County High School; Micah Lynn of Fleming Island

Junior/Senior High School; and Ansley Piazza of
Santa Fe High School.
  The students were selected to go to D.C. based on
their score from a virtual speech contest in February.
The contest would have taken place as students from
across Clay Electric’s service territory and the state
visited Tallahassee to tour state government build-
ings and learn about government. That trip was also
canceled due to COVID-19.                                             Caleb Moncrief                          Ansley Piazza
