Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company made two filings at the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. The first was a request to lower the amount the company collects from customers for the fuel used to generate electricity and the second was a request for a general rate case in 2016 to raise electric rates. If approved, customers will see their bills decrease in January and likely not see the rate improvement before June of next year. Considered together, residential customers would see a net improvement of about 47 cents per month.
Starting in January 2016, OG&E residential customers bills will drop about $6.75 per month largely as a result of declining fuel prices. OG&E passes fuel costs directly to the customer without markup. Due to the ongoing drop in natural gas prices in recent months, OG&E fuel cost collections needed to be reduced, resulting in the need to true up costs and make a refund through lower charges on customer bills going forward.
In its general rate case filing, the company intends to seek a rate improvement of $92.5 million. The companys current electric rates were last set in 2012. The projected improvement largely would be offset by the fuel decrease, resulting in a net monthly improvement of about 47 cents per month. The need for a rate improvement is driven by three key things that are not covered in our current rates, said OG&E spokesman Randy Swanson. We have added about $1.6 billion in electric infrastructure, we have terminated a wholesale generation contract for the benefit of our retail customers and we face raised operating costs. While OG&E has successfully kept most operating costs down, there has been a need to improvement spending in certain areas related to system reliability such as vegetation administration.
