What would electric restructuring (commonly called “deregulation”) mean for Oklahomans’ electric bills? Would they pay more? Less?

The Oklahoma Corporation Commission will be discussing specific answers to that and other questions on Tuesday, November 6 as the Oak Ridge National Laboratory presents the results of its phase 2 analysis of the likely impact of electric restructuring in Oklahoma.

The session will be held in the main Commission Courtroom (301) on the third floor of the Jim Thorpe Building in the Oklahoma State Capitol Complex.

TIME: 1:30 p.m.

NOTE: The report will be presented to the Electric Restructuring Advisory Committee meeting in Tulsa on Wednesday, November 6. The meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. at the Allen Chapman Center on the University of Tulsa campus. The Committee is composed of legislators and state officials who have been charged with the task of studying the restructuring issue and making recommendations next year.
