Utilities

With some of the most competitive and consistent energy costs in the nation, Oklahoma's major utility companies can easily meet your customized power needs. With inexpensive and flexible rates, these utilities work closely with their communities, the state, and their customers to make Oklahoma THE place to live and do business. Known globally as an oil and gas giant, Oklahoma is rapidly diversifying that power portfolio to become America’s clean energy leader. Oklahoma’s utilities are aggressively adding wind generation to their portfolios, looking for opportunities to use solar and biomass, building transmission, installing Smart Grid technologies, and offering special tariffs to spur clean energy generation and related manufacturing.
