Item 8.01. Other Events
OGE Energy Corp. (“OGE Energy” or the “Company”) is the parent company of Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company (“OG&E”), a regulated electric utility with approximately 769,000 customers in Oklahoma and western Arkansas, and Enogex LLC and its subsidiaries, a midstream natural gas pipeline business with principal operations in Oklahoma.
2009 Oklahoma Rate Case Filing
On January 21, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing that OG&E will make its planned Oklahoma rate case filing on or about February 26, 2009. On December 12, 2008, OG&E filed notice with the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (“OCC”) of its intent to seek a change in its electric rates, anticipating a rate case filing no sooner than January 26, 2009. OG&E is still preparing the rate case and, at this time, has not determined the amount of the expected increase it will request. The case is expected to proceed through the first half of 2009. If an increase is approved by the OCC, customers would not see it reflected in their electric rates until the August / September 2009 timeframe as previously announced. The related press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.01 and incorporated herein by reference.
