Electric Utilities
The Commission regulates prices and service reliability of three investor-owned electric utilities providing retail electric service to much of the State. These companies are:
- Empire District Electric Company
- Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company
- Public Service Company of Oklahoma
State law prevents the Commission from regulating any electric utility operated by a governmental entity, such as the Grand River Dam Authority, or cities, which are members of the Oklahoma Municipal Power Authority.
Likewise, the legislature passed a statute allowing electric cooperatives to opt out of price regulation. Most electric cooperatives have opted out. Those that have not and whose prices are still regulated by the Commission are:
- Arkansas Valley Electric Cooperative
- Canadian Valley Electric Cooperative
- Northeast Oklahoma Electric Cooperative
- Rich Mountain Electric Cooperative
- Southwest Arkansas Electric Cooperative
The Commission continues to regulate service reliability for cooperatives that opted out of price regulation. These cooperatives are:
- Alfalfa Electric Cooperative
- Caddo Electric Cooperative
- Central Rural Electric Cooperative
- Choctaw Electric Cooperative
- Cimarron Electric Cooperative
- Cookson Hills Electric Cooperative
- Cotton Electric Cooperative
- East Central Electric Cooperative
- Harmon Electric Association
- Indian Electric Cooperative
- Kay Electric Cooperative, Inc.
- Kiamichi Electric Cooperative
- Kiwash Electric Cooperative
- Lake Region Electric Cooperative
- Northfork Electric Cooperative
- Northwestern Electric Cooperative
- Oklahoma Electric Cooperative
- Ozarks Electric Cooperative
- People's Electric Cooperative
- Red River Valley Electric Cooperative
- Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc.
- Southeastern Electric Cooperative, Inc.
- Southwest Rural Electric Association, Inc.
- Tri-County Electric Cooperative, Inc.

The Commission does not regulate electricity producers who sell only in the wholesale market.
