Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
On May 21, 2012, OGE Energy Corp., the parent company of Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company ("OG&E"), issued a press release describing OG&E's intention to implement a $24 million Oklahoma rate increase effective June 1, 2012, subject to refund. As previously reported, OG&E filed a request to increase rates by $73.3 million in July 2011. By statute, if the Oklahoma Corporation Commission ("OCC") takes more than 180 days to complete its review and issue an order in rate case proceedings, a utility may implement interim rates, subject to refund. In addition, due to decreases in fuel costs, particularly natural gas, OG&E will propose to lower fuel costs by $50 million annually, also effective June 1, 2012. The two actions will result in a net reduction for residential, commercial and industrial customers. For further information, see the press release attached as Exhibit 99.01.
