Oklahoma Gas & Electric Co

What This Utility Data Tells You

Oklahoma Gas & Electric Co is an investor-owned utility operating in Arkansas under EIA identifier 14063. It reports service to approximately 822,878 customer accounts and generated about $2.19 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 447 ZIP codes. Because it is investor-owned, the state public utility commission oversees its rate cases and reliability performance rather than a local board.

In 2023, the average Oklahoma Gas & Electric Co customer experienced 492.0 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that sits within the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, indicating performance typical of U.S. distribution utilities. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 1.80, putting the typical customer at roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 135.9 minutes, and the spread against the headline 492.0 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Oklahoma Gas & Electric Co's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. Over that span, SAIDI rose from 165.3 to 492.0 minutes, possibly reflecting tougher weather years or grid upgrades that have not caught up yet.
