Key Issues
- —
Winter Storm Uri securitization implementation and customer surcharge disputes: ONG and OG&E continue to face OCC proceedings over the amortization schedules, interest rate assumptions, and equitable allocation of securitized fuel costs across customer classes, with industrial intervenors challenging residential cross-subsidization arguments.
- —
Coal plant retirement and stranded cost recovery: WFEC and PSO are both managing accelerated coal retirements driven by federal environmental rules and economics; OCC is evaluating whether undepreciated plant balances and transition costs should be recoverable through rate riders or deferred in general rate cases.
- —
Grid modernization and AMI deployment cost recovery: OG&E's pending AMI rollout and associated data privacy, cybersecurity, and rate design implications are before the OCC, with consumer advocates contesting the proposed cost-benefit methodologies and time-of-use rate structures tied to smart meter deployment.
- —
Renewable energy integration and transmission cost allocation: Rapid wind and solar development in western Oklahoma is creating congestion and interconnection queue backlogs on the SPP system; OCC is engaged in stakeholder proceedings on state-level transmission planning coordination and cost allocation principles for new high-voltage lines.
- —
Broadband certification and right-of-way access for electric cooperatives: OCC is processing an increased volume of certificate and pole attachment proceedings as electric cooperatives deploy fiber broadband under federal funding programs, creating jurisdictional tension between OCC authority and municipal franchise agreements.
Upcoming
Estimated OCC hearing on OG&E AMI deployment cost recovery application; commission expected to address proposed $180M+ capital investment recovery mechanism and associated time-of-use rate design tariffs filed in late 2025.
Estimated deadline for intervenor testimony in PSO general rate case proceeding addressing distribution infrastructure tracker and wildfire mitigation capital rider; industrial and commercial customer groups anticipated to challenge rate base additions.
Estimated OCC evidentiary hearing on ONG pipeline integrity and system modernization rider renewal; proceeding will address whether capital expenditure forecasts and earned returns comply with the 2024 rate case settlement terms.
Estimated OCC rulemaking comment deadline for proposed revisions to electric vehicle charging station interconnection standards and utility tariff filing requirements, initiated following 2025 legislative directive to develop EV infrastructure policy framework.
