The Oklahoma Corporation Commission is scheduled to begin hearings on OG&E’s request for a rate increase at 1:30 p.m., May 26, 2022, in Courtroom 301 on the Third Floor of the Jim Thorpe Building in Oklahoma City.
OG&E is seeking an annual increase of approximately $163.5 million, or 8.4 percent, to recover increased business costs and electric infrastructure investments the Company has made since 2012. The increase, as proposed by OG&E, would raise a residential customer’s bill by 9 percent when compared to current rates.
This equals approximately $9.98 per month on the average residential customer bill. As proposed by OG&E, General Service customers would receive an average 9.9 percent rate increase. For the industrial rate classes the average increase would range from 7.7 percent for Power and Light customers (PL) to a decrease of 0.l percent for Large Power and Light customers (LPL).
The hearings will be conducted by the Administrative Law Judge and begin at 1:30 p.m. May 26 and all interested persons may appear and provide comment at that time. After public comment has concluded, the hearing will be recessed and will resume at 8:30 a.m. June 14 and each subsequent business day as necessary for testimony and examination of parties’ witnesses. After the hearing concludes, the Administrative Law Judge will file a recommendation and report for the Commission to consider. The Commission will ultimately issue a final order deciding all issues in the case.
In addition to the opportunity to appear and be heard at 1:30 p.m. on May 26, the public may submit written comments by mail to the Clerk, Oklahoma Corporation Commission, 2101 N. Lincoln Blvd., Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, 73105. Written comments should be titled as “Public Comment” and clearly reference “PUD 202100164.”
