OGE Energy Corp.

This month, we celebrate our Muskogee and Horseshoe Lake Power Plants turning 100 years old! As technology evolved over time in how we generated electricity, so did OG&E. These plants were powered first by steam, then coal, and then natural gas. They have provided safe, reliable electricity at some of the most affordable rates in the country, powering the growth and prosperity of the communities we serve. We appreciate the power plant teams who are dedicated to the day-to-day operations to support our customers. Here's to another 100 years!

This week, OG&E broke ground on two new power generation units at our Horseshoe Lake Power Plant in Harrah, Oklahoma, as we celebrate the plant's 100th anniversary! This project will enhance reliability, efficiency, and sustainability while boosting the local economy and creating jobs. Here's to another century of powering our communities!

Top performing OG&E line workers from the OG&E Linemen's Expo are at the 40th International Lineman’s Rodeo and Expo this week in Kansas City! The rodeo brings together line workers around the world to compete in events that showcase their traditional tasks and skills. Good luck to our teams competing!

As we close out Hispanic Heritage Month, get to know Viridiana “Vivi” Zuniga, a New Construction Advocate and member of our Hacemos TOGETHER? Member Resource Group. Vivi’s family immigrated to Oklahoma from Mexico and her sister also works for OG&E. Vivi believes being bilingual is like having a superpower and is thankful to her parents for never allowing her to forget her native language and roots. “I wanted to do something where I could help my Hispanic community. Working at OG&E allows me to satisfy that goal. When I talk with our Spanish-speaking customers, I leave work knowing I helped a customer in their language. I know what it is like coming to a different country and not knowing how to communicate because of a language barrier.”

Our crews are in Florida helping the rebuilding efforts. Our line crews are in the Sarasota, Florida area restoring power for Florida Power & Light Power and Light customers and our underground crews are staged in St. Petersburg to assist Duke Energy Corporation. Our teams are working hard to help Florida recover. Thank you to the Big Orange team and stay safe!

It's OG&E Customer Operations Appreciation Week! Our contact center employees continually train and develop their skills to deliver STELLAR service and support. These incredible individuals are 'out of this world' as they serve on the frontlines and make a difference with our customers. We appreciate YOU!

We continue our celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month by introducing OG&E's 2024 Hacemos TOGETHER? Member Resource Group (MRG) leadership team: Adrian Little, Guillermo Sarmiento, Hector Lopez, Ulises Serrano, Rolando Castellanos Lopez, Juan-Pablo Gomez, and Viridiana Zuniga. Alongside their professional jobs, these employees promote cultural awareness and diversity of Latinx and Hispanic cultures with a strong emphasis on serving the community together. The group's volunteerism ranges from cultural events to lending a hand at local organizations and Esperanza Elementary in OKC. We appreciate the important work Hacemos TOGETHER is doing and look forward to what the group will accomplish under these excellent leaders!

Today, we are bringing home our crew that spent the last two weeks in Georgia rebuilding the grid following Hurricane Helene as we send another group to Florida in preparation for Hurricane Milton's anticipated impact. To say I'm proud of our #BigOrange team is an understatement - their commitment to energizing life extends beyond Oklahoma and Arkansas, to every community we support through mutual assistance.

Big Orange is on the road to Florida ahead of Hurricane Milton. Trucks and materials used in the rebuilding and restoration efforts for Hurricane Helene in Georgia will now head to Florida to help with the anticipated damage from Hurricane Milton. At the request of Florida Power & Light, nearly 100 line crew and support personnel will stage in Savannah, Georgia, then travel to Florida safely to communities impacted by Hurricane Milton. Another OG&E crew, which specializes in underground line work, left Oklahoma City this morning heading to Florida to assist Duke Energy Florida. We appreciate our crews for their willingness to volunteer help those affected by the hurricanes. Wishing our team a safe journey!?
