OG&E asked to bill Arkansas customers for four new gas turbines in Oklahoma through a rider allowed by Arkansas's 2025 Act 373 (the APSC approved the rider tariff in March 2026). On Sept 8, 2026 the APSC found the turbines prudent but ruled them ineligible for the rider, so recovery must come another way, such as a rate case. OG&E estimated $2.12/month for an average home in year one.
Utility's stated reasons
