Оклахома және Арканзас штатының электр энергиясымен қамтамасыз етуші OG&E компаниясының тарихы мен қызметі

Electric utility company that serves customers in the US states of Oklahoma and Arkansas

OG&E was founded in 1902, five years before Oklahoma became a state. It merged with Enogex in 1986. In 1997, OG&E reorganized as a holding company, OGE Energy, with OG&E and Enogex (now part of Enable Midstream) as its operating companies.

OG&E Electric Services serves more than 850,000 customers in central and western Oklahoma and western Arkansas, and has no current wholesale power commitments. OG&E, with seven power plants is capable of producing about 6,100 megawatts from fossil fuels, also owns three wind farms and two small solar farms. OG&E also has long term power purchase agreements with three non owned wind farms. In 2017 OG&E generated 54% of electricity from low sulfur Wyoming coal and 39 percent from natural gas with the remaining 7 percent coming from renewables, mostly wind. OG&E owns roughly 450 megawatts of wind power. Under the plan announced on October 29, 2007, President and CEO Peter Delaney announced that wind power could be increased to about 770 MW. OG&E is the largest electric utility in the state of Oklahoma. In December 2016, OG&E announced that it gave out $7.5 million in "energy efficiency incentives to businesses, schools and government buildings in 2016." A total of 750 organizations benefited from the project. Secondary schools received around $650,000; universities received around $365,000. In one school district, 1 million kWh were cut down through energy saving projects.

OGE Energy Resources conducts the company's energy marketing and related activities. Operating in the national commodities markets for electricity and natural gas, Energy Resources' primary role is to optimize the generation, transmission and pipeline assets of OGE Energy.
