STAFF FILING IN OG&E RATE CASE
The staff members of the
Oklahoma Corporation Commission’s Public Utilities Division have filed
testimony in the Oklahoma Gas and Electric (OG&E) rate case (PUD
200100455). In that testimony, staff recommends that OG&E’s rates be
reduced by $39.1million a year.
The recommendation would
reduce residential rates by 1.89 percent (about $18.50
per year for the average
residential customer).
OG&E’s request is for a
rate increase of 11.7 million dollars a year.
The rate case is scheduled to be heard by a Commission
Administrative Law Judge 9/24/02 through 9/26/02.
The Corporation Commissioners are scheduled to hear appeals in the
case on November 20, 2002.
