Oklahoma Gas & Electric Co rate plans
3 residential plans are currently open to new customers. Some charge different prices depending on the hour — which is where most of the savings hide.
How much does the plan you pick actually matter here?
Run the same three-bedroom house with central air through every plan Oklahoma Gas & Electric Co files, and the bill lands anywhere between $1,051 and $1,205 a year. That $154 spread is not a difference in electricity — it is the same kilowatt-hours, from the same wires, priced under different rules. Nobody sends you a letter when you are on the wrong side of it.
2 of these 3 plans price by the hour. Those are the ones where moving laundry, dishes, or car charging into the cheap window changes the bill; on the rest, the clock is irrelevant and only the total matters. Which camp you belong in is the first question worth settling, because it decides whether shifting your day is worth anything at all.
Which plan would cost you least?
No bill upload, no sign-up. Tell us roughly what you use and what runs on electricity — we price every plan against the same household and show you the gap.
That adds up to 7,914 kWh a year. Compare it to the total on your bill and adjust until it’s close.
Same usage, different plan
$66a year
That is the gap between the cheapest plan you could be on — R-1 (Residential Service) — and the priciest. Not by using less power. By being billed differently for the same power.

An estimate, not a quote. Supply charges move month to month, and your real usage pattern is not exactly this one. What it does show reliably is the gap between plans — both are priced off the same assumptions.
Before you switch anything
- What is a time-of-use electricity rate?
The same kilowatt-hour, priced differently depending on when you use it.
- Should you switch to a time-of-use electricity plan?
A wide peak-to-off-peak gap is a lever, not a saving. Levers need something to move.
