Residential and small business customers face unaffordable electricity rate increases with limited recourse

Oklahoma utility customers are experiencing proposed rate increases of $600 million that directly impact their monthly bills, creating financial strain for households and small businesses already managing tight budgets. Current regulatory review processes are slow and opaque, leaving customers feeling powerless to influence outcomes that significantly affect their cost of living. People need accessible ways to understand rate impacts, organize collective advocacy, and have their voices heard before rate increases are finalized.
