Item 8.01. Other Events
On December 2, 2015, OG&E received an order from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission ("OCC") regarding a plan to comply with the Federal Clean Air Act as well as the Mustang Modernization project. By a two to one vote, the OCC denied OG&E’s plan to comply with the environmental mandates of the Federal Clean Air Act and the Regional Haze and Mercury and Air Toxics Standards. The OCC also denied OG&E’s request for pre-approval of its Mustang Modernization Plan, revised depreciation rates for both the retirement of the Mustang units and the replacement combustion turbines and pre-approval of early retirement and replacement of generating units at its Mustang site, including cost recovery through a rider.
On December 11, 2015, OG&E filed a motion requesting modification of the OCC Order for the purposes of approving only the Environmental Compliance Plan (ECP). OG&E is not seeking modification to any other provision of the OCC Order, including cost recovery. OG&E also agrees that it will not implement a rider for recovery of the costs of the ECP until and unless authorized by the OCC in a subsequent proceeding.
A copy of the Motion for Modification is attached as Exhibit 99.02 and incorporated herein by reference.
