Since that time, it has grown from a small, local producer of hydroelectricity to a major power supplier across the region. GRDA’s diverse electric generation portfolio includes gas, coal, water and wind resources. Electricity is transmitted across a four-state region via a sophisticated energy delivery network.
GRDA is a proud member of the Southwest Power Pool, the American Public Power Association and the Large Public Power Council, as well as the Oklahoma Municipal Alliance.
In March 2022, GRDA was given the “Reliable Public Power Provider” (RP3) Diamond level designation from the American Public Power Association. These awards are valid for a period of three years.
