Power Outages

Corporation Commission Tells Utilities To Prioritize Power To Homes Over Businesses

Oklahoma continues to face a power emergency as the below-freezing temperatures and ice and snow have put strain on the power grids. Oklahoma's Corporation Commission (OCC) voted 2-1 Tuesday night to pass an order asking utilities and power companies in Oklahoma to prioritize health and safety over businesses when making decisions about diverting power.

The SPP has moved Oklahoma back into Emergency Energy Alert Level 2, one level closer to the possibility of rolling blackouts again. You can find more information about power outages in the area here.
