NEWS ADVISORY
FOR NEWS DIRECTORS AND ASSIGNMENT EDITORS
(OKLAHOMA CITY) – The
Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC) on Friday, March 2, is scheduled to
review applications involving the purchased gas adjustment clause of Oklahoma Natural
Gas Co. (ONG) and the OG&E Electric Services retail monthly fuel costs
adjustment report.
Both matters deal with the
base cost of fuel, including natural gas, that is passed through to customers.
This will be the Commission’s second monthly review of ONG’s natural gas cost
pass-through, a commitment made by the Commission to the people of Oklahoma in
light of unusually high natural gas bills.
Representatives from both
utility companies will appear before the Commission. OG&E, meanwhile,
opposes a February 23 Commission order to hold tomorrow’s public hearing on
OG&E’s fuel adjustment pass-through. OG&E has failed to provide any
pre-filed testimony with the Commission in connection with its application.
The Commission will hear
these matters starting Friday at 9:30 a.m. in the main courtroom 301 on the
third floor of the Jim Thorpe Building at 2101 N. Lincoln Boulevard in Oklahoma
City.
