Oklahoma Electric Coop Inc electricity rates

It serves 58,544 residential customers in Oklahoma. Its 12.25¢ per kilowatt-hour sits 8.4% below the Oklahoma average of 13.38¢.

Owned by the customers it serves, with directors elected by members. Co-ops are frequently outside state rate regulation. That matters because a bill is not only the cost of generating electricity: it also carries the cost of the network, and who owns that network changes how it is paid for.
