Form 8-K for OGE ENERGY CORP.

Other Events, Financial Statements and Exhibits


Item 8.01. Other Events

OGE Energy Corp. (the "Company") is the parent company of Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company ("OG&E"), a regulated electric utility with approximately 773,000 customers in Oklahoma and western Arkansas, and Enogex LLC and its subsidiaries, a midstream natural gas pipeline business with principal operations in Oklahoma.

As previously disclosed, OG&E signed contracts on July 31, 2008 for approximately 101 megawatts of wind turbine generators and certain related balance of plant engineering, procurement and construction services associated with the OU Spirit wind project in western Oklahoma ("OU Spirit"). On October 15, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing that OG&E had reached a settlement agreement on its application for approval of the OU Spirit wind farm pending before the Oklahoma Corporation Commission ("OCC"). OG&E, the OCC Staff, the Attorney General's Office of Oklahoma, The Oklahoma Industrial Energy Consumers and the OG&E Shareholders Association all agreed to ask the OCC to approve settlement terms that would provide pre-approval of OU Spirit and authorize OG&E to begin recovering the costs of OU Spirit through a rider mechanism as the individual turbines are placed into service which is expected in November and December 2009. The settlement agreement also assigns to OG&E's customers the proceeds from the sale of OU Spirit renewable energy credits to the University of Oklahoma. The settlement agreement permits the recovery of up to $270 million of eligible construction costs, including recovery of the costs of the conservation project for the lesser prairie chicken as previously disclosed; however, OG&E may request approval of any cost in excess of $270 million in OG&E's next general rate case. The net impact on the average residential customer's 2010 electric bill is estimated to be approximately 90 cents per month, decreasing to 80 cents per month in 2011. OU Spirit is expected to be added to OG&E's regulated rate base as part of a general rate case in 2011, at which time the rider would cease. A copy of the Company's press release announcing the settlement agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.01 and incorporated herein by reference. The Settlement Agreement is filed as Exhibit 99.02 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
