Key Issues
- —
Winter Storm Uri securitization bond amortization and ongoing rider recovery: ONG and OG&E continue to collect surcharges tied to extraordinary 2021 fuel costs securitized under SB 1096; OCC monitoring customer impact as surcharge periods extend through mid-2020s and stakeholders scrutinize whether refinancing or early retirement of bonds is feasible.
- —
OG&E integrated resource planning and coal-to-clean transition: OG&E's IRP filing outlining retirement of remaining coal capacity at Muskogee and Seminole plants is under OCC review, with intervenors pushing for accelerated timelines and others raising reliability concerns given SPP capacity constraints in summer peak periods.
- —
Electric rate design and demand charge reform for residential customers: OCC proceedings examining whether time-of-use rates, fixed charge increases, and demand charges are appropriate for PSO and OG&E residential classes as EV adoption and rooftop solar penetration alter load profiles and cost allocation.
- —
Broadband deployment using utility rights-of-way and cooperative network buildout: OCC addressing pole attachment disputes and right-of-way access conflicts as electric cooperatives and third-party ISPs accelerate BEAD-funded broadband construction across rural Oklahoma, requiring coordination between utility and telecommunications regulatory frameworks.
- —
Grid interconnection queue backlogs and renewable integration in SPP: Oklahoma's substantial wind and solar pipeline faces prolonged SPP interconnection study timelines; OCC stakeholders and developers seeking state-level policy coordination to reduce barriers to large-scale renewable additions needed to meet voluntary utility clean energy commitments.
