Winter Weather Update
5:30 p.m., January 23, 2026
Extreme cold weather, including snow and ice, is expected across OG&E’s service area overnight and throughout the weekend. The southern and eastern portions of our service area, particularly Durant and surrounding communities, are expected to receive the most impact. Widespread outages are not anticipated this weekend.
OG&E Stages Crews and Materials
- Restoration personnel and materials were staged today in preparation for extreme weather. Crews are ready to respond, and should outages occur, they will restore power to customers as quickly and safely as possible.
- OG&E has mobilized approximately 1,000 personnel for this event, with 400 of those in southern Oklahoma.
Guidance for Customers
- We encourage customers to stay off the road once freezing rain or sleet begins. In addition to their own safety, cars hitting power poles can create additional, longer outages.
- Have a cold-weather safety plan, including checking in on homebound and elderly neighbors and family. Make sure devices are charged, gas tanks are full, and that you have blankets at the ready in vehicles. Find more severe weather preparation tips at OGE.com/StormSafety.
