Media Advisory regarding the current power failure

 

(Oklahoma City) Corporation Commission Chairman Denise Bode’s office has been in contact with Oklahoma Gas and Electric (OG&E) officials and AEP-PSO** officials regarding whether the current situation in N.Y. and other areas might impact their operations in Oklahoma. At this point, both companies report their systems are stable, and they currently do not expect any problems.  OG&E and AEP-PSO are the two largest providers of electric power in Oklahoma.

 

Should you wish to speak to a Commissioner or Commission staffer concerning the power grid or related matters, call Matt Skinner at 521-4180.
