Oklahoma Corporation Commissioners will attempt a return to normal business on Wednesday after removing two of its top officers over the past week.
It was last week when the three regulators fired Brandy Wreath as Director of Administration and this week when Communications Chief Trey Davis was also removed from his position at the agency.
Instead, the 1:30 p.m. agenda calls for a discussion of the legislatively required study of nuclear power development in the state. The commissioners are complying with SB130, signed last June into law by Gov. Kevin Stitt. The new law requires the Corporation Commission to evaluate whether nuclear power can play a role in Oklahoma’s energy mix.
The law gave Corporation Commissioners a March 9 deadline to comply with the Oklahoma Energy Initiative Act. Oklahoma has no existing nuclear power plant. However, at least three utilities responded so far to the Oklahoma Corporation Commission’s attempt to comply with a new state law requiring a study of possible nuclear energy generation in Oklahoma. One is suggesting consumers be hit with with the CWIP method of making long term payments while nuclear power plants are being built.
OK Energy Today reported in October that in its response, Western Farmers explained it is “heavily reliant on renewable energy” with about 24% of the 2024 portfolio comparised of energy from wind, solar and hydro sources. Its governing Board of Trustees is focused on “cost containment as a priority.” It also supported the Commission’s study of nuclear power, stating, “Nuclear energy is just one piece of energy policy as is fossil, wind, solar, battery, hydro, hydrogen, etc.”
Oklahoma Gas and Electric, in a one and one-half page response, said it had included nuclear generation costs in its recent Integrated Resource Plans as required by the Commission.
It also pointed out that the firm’s own 2024 IRP should the projected capital cost of Small Modular Reactors “to be relatively high compared to other available generation options, and these costs for generation are ultimately borne by OG&E’s customers.”
In conclusion, OGE said it looked forward to demonstrations of safe, robust, and cost-effective new nuclear generation projects and participation of such projects in the company’s future RFPs.
PSO
Public Service Company, in its response to the Commission’s Notice of Inquiry, raised the controversial topic of CWIP or Construction Work in Progress.
While declaring that “Nuclear power is safe,” PSO said that if domestic nuclear generation experiences significant growth over the next 25 years as forecasted, “it represents a significant economic opportunity for the state of Oklahoma.”
