Grand River Dam Authority

The Grand River Dam Authority is an agency of the state of Oklahoma, created by the Oklahoma Legislature in 1935 to be a "conservation and reclamation district for the waters of the Grand River." Headquartered in Vinita, Oklahoma, the Grand River Dam Authority is a non-appropriated state agency, fully funded by revenues from the sale of electricity and water instead of tax dollars. GRDA generates, transmits and sells electricity to Oklahoma municipalities, electric cooperatives and industrial customers, as well as off-system customers across a four-state region. GRDA also manages over 70,000 surface acres of water in Northeast Oklahoma. 

Every day, the members of Team GRDA are at work, helping the utility to continue its reputation as a provider of low-cost, reliable electricity, an economic engine for Oklahoma and a good steward of the natural resources under its control.
