Your OG&E bill is about to go up: See the reasons behind the rising costs for customers
Customers of OG&E will soon see an increase in their monthly electric bill, thanks to rising fuel costs.
The energy provider told customers in an email Friday, May 23, that a fuel charge adjustment would go into effect June 1. OG&E charges customers for the "actual cost of fuel to generate electricity," and the fuel cost can be seen on your monthly bill. OG&E cannot profit from fuel costs.
"We understand any increase in bills can be difficult," the email said. "That's why we source and purchase fuel at the lowest cost possible to minimize the impact on customer bills and physically store lower cost fuel that we can use when prices increase."
According to OG&E, the average residential customer will see an increase of $5.87 per month.

This fuel cost adjustment is just one of a few recent changes to OG&E customer bills.
In March, OG&E customers saw an average increase of about $12.65 on their monthly bill, which was to account for rising fuel costs following the unusually high temperatures in October and November of 2024.
This increase followed an average $9.58 monthly rate increase approved by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission that started in July 2024, which was expected to fund tree trimming and boost a senior discount for the company's SmartHours program.
Aaron Cooper, OGE Energy Corp. spokesman, told The Oklahoman in February the rate and fuel increases are offset by three drops in fuel charges between November 2023 and November 2024 that over the 12-month period led to an accumulative monthly drop of $50.37.

Owner of raided Omaha plant says he followed hiring rules
The owner of an Omaha food packaging plant that Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raided this week said Wednesday that his company relied on the government's web system to verify that his workers were in the country legally. 'We did everything we could possibly do,' Glenn Valley Foods owner Gary Rohwer told The Associated Press. Federal officials arrived at the Nebraska factory on Tuesday to screen nearly 100 people. About 70 employees were taken into custody, as part of President Trump's sweeping immigration crackdown and mass deportation initiative. Glenn Valley Foods is operating at about 30 percent capacity after the raid as the company tries to hire more workers, Rohwer told the AP. Company officials have blamed the federal Department of Homeland Security (DHS)'s nationwide E-Verify system, which relies on documents and social security numbers to determine whether potential employees can work in the U.S. legally. 'I'd like to see the United States government … come up with a program that they can communicate to the companies as to how to hire legitimate help. Period,' Rohwer said. The owner explained that federal officials said his company was a victim of unauthorized workers using stolen identities or fake IDs to get around the E-Verify system. Omaha Mayor John Ewing Jr., a Democrat who was sworn into office earlier this week, told NewsNation on Wednesday that he didn't know why the Nebraska city was targeted for the large-scale immigration sweep. 'Right now, what is happening across the country is a lot of fear is being created,' Ewing said. 'We don't have an understandable approach to immigration, especially when it comes to our Latino members of this country.' He called on Congress to develop a 'comprehensive immigration policy.'
