Energy; directing Corporation Commission to evaluate relationship between Southwest Power Pool and the state; requiring report; establishing deadline; distribution; emergency.
This Oklahoma law directs the state's Corporation Commission to work with the Southwest Power Pool, a regional electricity grid operator, to produce a detailed report on their relationship. The report must analyze how the Power Pool's decisions affect Oklahoma's electricity costs, budget, and industries, while also examining the transmission of power generated in the state to other regions. Commission officials are required to finish this assessment by December 31, 2024, and send the final findings to the Governor, state legislators, and committee chairs. The bill includes an emergency clause to ensure the law takes effect immediately upon signing.
