OG&E Seeks Approval for Google Electricity Contracts
Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company (OG&E) is seeking approval from the Oklahoma Corporation Commissioners for its contracts with Google to supply electricity. The utility filed an application in May 2026, stating it had executed three Electric Service Agreements with Alliance Site & Grid, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Google. These agreements will provide retail electric service in Oklahoma and require bespoke contractual provisions to ensure reliable service while protecting existing customers from adverse rate impacts.
The contracts include extensive customer protection provisions to prevent OG&E's existing customers from being exposed to stranded costs, cost shifting, or undue financial risk. Additionally, the agreements are long-term commitments with Google, which will fund all dedicated transmission and distribution infrastructure. Two of the projects involve 'long-term Capacity Purchase Agreements' with Google, under which OG&E will purchase capacity from two solar generation operations within its service territory.
According to OG&E officials, the cost shifting that occurs with Google as a customer can mitigate future rate increases. By 2027, residential customers are expected to benefit from $1.83 per month, and by 2036, this figure could rise to up to $6.84 per month.
