Organization

OGE Energy is a holding company with investments in energy and energy services providers offering physical delivery and related services for both electricity in Oklahoma and western Arkansas. Prior to September 30, 2022, OGE Energy also held investments in Enable and Energy Transfer, which offered natural gas, primarily in the south-central U.S.crude oil and NGL services. OGE Energy conductsreports these activities through two business segments: (i) electric utility and (ii) natural gas midstream operations. The accounts of OGE Energy and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including OG&E, are included in OGE Energy's condensed consolidated financial statements. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in such consolidation. For periods prior to the December 2, 2021 closing of the Enable and Energy Transfer merger, OGE Energy generally uses theaccounted for its investment in Enable as an equity method investment and reported it within OGE Energy's natural gas midstream operations segment. For the period of accountingDecember 2, 2021 through September 30, 2022, OGE Energy accounted for investments where its ownership interest is between 20 percent and 50 percent andinvestment in the Energy Transfer units it lacksacquired in the power to direct activities that most significantly impact economic performance.merger as an investment in equity securities, as further discussed below. As of September 30, 2022, OGE Energy has sold all of its Energy Transfer limited partner units, becoming primarily an electric utility.

OG&E.Electric Utility Operations. OGE Energy's electric utility operations are conducted through OG&E, which generates, transmits, distributes and sells electric energy in Oklahoma and western Arkansas. OG&E's rates are subject to regulation by the OCC, the APSC and the FERC. OG&E was incorporated in 1902 under the laws of the Oklahoma Territory and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of OGE Energy. OG&E is the largest electric utility in Oklahoma, and its franchised service territory includes Fort Smith, Arkansas and the surrounding communities. OG&E sold its retail natural gas business in 1928 and is no longer engaged in the natural gas distribution business.

Enable.Natural Gas Midstream Operations. OGE Energy's natural gas midstream operations segment representsincludes OGE Energy's investment in Enable. TheEnergy Transfer's equity securities acquired in the merger and legacy Enable seconded employee pension and postretirement costs. Prior to OGE Energy's sale of all Energy Transfer limited partner units, the investment in Enable isEnergy Transfer's equity securities was held through wholly-owned subsidiaries and ultimately OGE Holdings. Formed in 2013, Enable is primarily engaged in the business of gathering, processing, transporting and storing natural gas. Enable's natural gas gathering and processing assets are strategically located in four states and serve natural gas production in the Anadarko, Arkoma and Ark-La-Tex Basins. Enable also owns crude oil gathering assets in the Anadarko and Williston Basins. Enable has intrastate natural gas transportation and storage assets that are located in Oklahoma as well as interstate assets that extend from western Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle to Louisiana, from Louisiana to Illinois and from Louisiana to Alabama. Enable's general partner is equally controlled by OGE Energy and CenterPoint, who each have 50 percent management ownership. Based on the 50/50 management ownership, with neither company having control, OGE Energy accounts for its interest in Enable using the
14


equity method of accounting. In February 2021, Enable entered into a definitive merger agreement with Energy Transfer. For further discussion, see Note 4.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Registrants, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, the Registrants believe that the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position of the Registrants at September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the results of the Registrants' operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021 and the Registrants' cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021 have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature except as otherwise disclosed. Management also has evaluated the impact of events occurring after September 30, 20212022 up to the date of issuance of these condensed financial statements, and these statements contain all necessary adjustments and disclosures resulting from that evaluation.

Due to seasonal fluctuations and other factors, the Registrants' operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 20212022 or for any future period. The condensed financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Registrants' 20202021 Form 10-K.

Accounting Records

The accounting records of OG&E are maintained in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts prescribed by the FERC and adopted by the OCC and the APSC. Additionally, OG&E, as a regulated utility, is subject to accounting principles for certain types of rate-regulated activities, which provide that certain incurred costs that would otherwise be charged to expense can be deferred as regulatory assets, based on the expected recovery from customers in future rates. Likewise, certain actual or anticipated credits that would otherwise reduce expense can be deferred as regulatory liabilities, based on the expected flowback to customers in future rates. Management's expected recovery of deferred costs and flowback of deferred credits generally results from specific decisions by regulators granting such ratemaking treatment.

OG&E records certain incurred costs and obligations as regulatory assets or liabilities if, based on regulatory orders or other available evidence, it is probable that the costs or obligations will be included in amounts allowable for recovery or refund in future rates.

In February 2021, Winter Storm Uri resulted in record winter peak demand for electricity and extremely high natural gas and purchased power prices in OG&E's service territory. OG&E's natural gas costs for the month of February 2021 exceeded the total cost for all of 2020. The OCC allowed OG&E to create a regulatory asset for the Oklahoma portion of all deferred costs with an initial carrying charge based on the effective cost of the related debt financing for an amortization period to be determined at a later date. The APSC allowed OG&E to create a regulatory asset for the Arkansas portion of all deferred costs with an initial carrying charge equal to the current customer deposit interest rate to be recovered over a period of 10 years beginning in May 2021. For additional information, see Note 15.

The Oklahoma deferred storm expensesWinter Storm Uri regulatory asset iswas fully recovered in July 2022 through OG&E's receipt of securitization funds from the ODFA, as further discussed in Note 14.

As a result of the Oklahoma general rate review order received in September 2022, OG&E removed state investment tax credits from base rates and now provides these credits to customers through a rider, effective July 1, 2022, which can either result in a regulatory asset or regulatory liability based on the differential between estimated and actual investment tax credits included in the rider.

OG&E recovers program costs related to the Energy Efficiency Program in Oklahoma through the Storm Cost Recovery Rider. Operation and maintenance expenses resulting from storm damage exceeding the amounts included in OG&E's base rates are deferred and typically amortized overEnergy Efficiency Rider, which operates on a five-year period. To mitigate customer impact, OG&E has agreed to recover the portion related to 2020 excess storm coststhree-year program cycle. The current program cycle, which runs through the Storm Cost Recovery Rider over a ten-year period.
2024, includes recovery of
16


(i) energy efficiency program costs, (ii) lost revenues associated with certain achieved energy efficiency and demand savings, (iii) performance-based incentives and (iv) costs associated with research and development investments.

Management continuously monitors the future recoverability of regulatory assets. When in management's judgment future recovery becomes impaired, the amount of the regulatory asset is adjusted, as appropriate. If OG&E were required to discontinue the application of accounting principles for certain types of rate-regulated activities for some or all of its operations, it could result in writing off the related regulatory assets or liabilities, which could have significant financial effects.

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts Receivable

Customer balances are generally written off if not collected within six months after the final billing date. The allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable for OG&E is generally calculated by multiplying the last six months of electric revenue by the provision rate, which is based on a 12-month historical average of actual balances written off and is adjusted for current conditions and supportable forecasts as necessary. To the extent the historical collection rates, when incorporating forecasted conditions, are not representative of future collections, there could be an effect on the amount of uncollectible expense recognized, such as in response to COVID-19 impacts. Also, a portion of the uncollectible provision related to fuel within the Oklahoma jurisdiction is being recovered through the fuel adjustment clause. The allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable is a reduction to Accounts Receivable in the condensed balance sheets and is included in Other Operation and Maintenance Expense in the condensed statements of income.

New business customers are required to provide a security deposit in the form of cash, bond or irrevocable letter of credit that is refunded when the account is closed. New residential customers whose outside credit scores indicate an elevated risk are required to provide a security deposit that is refunded based on customer protection rules defined by the OCC and the APSC. The payment behavior of all existing customers is continuously monitored, and, if the payment behavior indicates sufficient risk within the meaning of the applicable utility regulation, customers will be required to provide a security deposit.

Investment in Unconsolidated AffiliatesEquity Securities of Energy Transfer

For the period of December 2, 2021 through September 30, 2022, OGE Energy accounted for its investment in Energy Transfer's equity securities as an equity investment with a readily determinable fair value under ASC 321, "Investments – Equity Securities." As of September 30, 2022, OGE Energy has sold all of its 95.4 million Energy Transfer limited partner units, resulting in pre-tax net proceeds of $1,067.2 million. Prior to exiting its Energy Transfer investment, OGE Energy presented the Energy Transfer equity securities at fair value in its balance sheet. OGE Energy presents realized gains and losses of the equity securities, as well as dividend income from the investment, within the Other Income (Expense) section in its statement of income, as appropriate. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, OGE Energy recognized gains of $39.4 million and $282.1 million, respectively, related to its investment in Energy Transfer's equity securities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, OGE Energy received distributions of $4.0 million and $34.0 million, respectively, from Energy Transfer, which are presented within Other Income in OGE Energy's 2022 condensed consolidated income statement.

Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates (Enable)

For more information concerning OGE Energy's former equity method investment in Enable, including the merger transaction with Energy Transfer and OGE Energy's previous accounting for its investment in Enable, see Notes 1 and 5 within "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in OGE Energy's 2021 Form 10-K. Prior to December 2, 2021, OGE Energy's investment in Enable iswas considered to be a variable interest entity because the owners of the equity at risk in this entity have disproportionate voting rights in relation to their obligations to absorb the entity's expected losses or to receive its expected residual returns. However,entity; however, OGE Energy iswas not considered the primary beneficiary of Enable since it does not have the power to direct the activities of Enable that are considered most significant to the economic performance of Enable; therefore, OGE Energy accounts for its investment in Enable usingEnable. Under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method,accounting, the investment will bewas adjusted each period for contributions made, distributions received and OGE Energy's share of the investee's comprehensive income as adjusted for basis differences.

2.Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2021-10, "Government Assistance (Topic 832) Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance." This standard requires additional annual disclosures when a business receives government assistance and uses a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy to other accounting guidance such as the grant model under International Accounting Standards 20, "Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosures of Government Assistance" and GAAP ASC 958-605, "Not-for-Profit Entities - Revenue Recognition." The standard was effective January 1, 2022, and the Registrants adopted this standard prospectively. As further discussed in Note 14, the ODFA issued securitization bonds in July 2022, and, in connection with this securitization transaction, OG&E received approximately $750 million from the ODFA to fund the extreme fuel and purchased power costs incurred by OG&E during Winter Storm Uri. The Registrants accounted for this transaction by analogy to the grant model under International Accounting Standards 20, as the Registrants believe there is no specific GAAP guidance directly applicable to the Registrants' facts and circumstances. The Registrants recorded the receipt of proceeds from the ODFA and removal of the Oklahoma Winter Storm Uri regulatory asset by debiting Cash and Cash Equivalents and crediting Regulatory Assets in their 2022 condensed balance sheets. Further, this transaction is reflected within Operating Activities in the Registrants' 2022 condensed statements of cash flows.

The Registrants believe that other recently adopted and recently issued accounting standards that are not yet effective do not appear to have a material impact on the Registrants' financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.

(A)In February 2021, Winter Storm Uri resulted in record winter peak demand for electricity and extremely high natural gas and purchased power prices in OG&E's service territory. Operating revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 significantly increased due to increased fuel, purchased power and direct transmission expenses, which are generally recoverable from customers, as a result of Winter Storm Uri. For further discussion, see Note 1514 and "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.Operations."

4.Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates

At September 30, 2021, OGE Energy owned 111.0 million common units, or 25.5 percent, of Enable's outstanding common units. On September 30, 2021, Enable's common unit price closed at $8.12. OGE Energy recorded equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates of $41.2 million and $127.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates of $15.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates of $703.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates includes OGE Energy's share of Enable's earnings adjusted for the amortization of the basis difference of OGE Energy's original investment in Enogex LLC and its underlying equity in the net assets of Enable, as well as any impairment OGE Energy records on its investment in Enable. Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates is also adjusted for the elimination of the Enogex Holdings fair value adjustments. These amortizations may also include gain or loss on dilution, net of proportional basis difference recognition. For more information concerning the formation of Enable and OGE Energy's accounting for its investment in Enable, see Note 5 within "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in OGE Energy's 2020 Form 10-K.

The following tables present summarized unaudited financial information for 100 percent of Enable as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

(A) Includes loss on dilution, net of proportional basis difference recognition.
(B) Effective March 31, 2020, OGE Energy estimated the fair value of its investment in Enable was below the book value and concluded the decline in value was not temporary due to the severity of the decline and recent rapid deterioration, as well as the near term future outlook, of the midstream oil and gas industry. Accordingly, OGE Energy recorded a $780.0 million impairment on its investment in Enable in 2020. Further discussion can be found in OGE Energy's 2020 Form 10-K.
(C) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, Enable recorded a $225.0 million impairment on its SESH equity method investment, which is included in their net loss for each period. Enable estimated the fair value of this equity method investment was below the carrying value at September 30, 2020 and concluded the decline in value was other than temporary due to the expiration of a transportation contract and the current status of renewal negotiations. The impairment ran through OGE Energy's portion of Enable net income (loss) and was offset by basis differences that flow through the amortization of basis difference and dilution recognition line item above.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the difference between OGE Energy's investment in Enable and its underlying equity in the net assets of Enable (basis difference) from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021. The basis difference is amortized over approximately 30 years.

Distributions received from Enable were $18.3 million during both the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and $55.0 million and $73.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

On October 26, 2021, Enable announced a quarterly dividend distribution of $0.16525 per unit on its outstanding common units, which is unchanged from the previous quarter. If cash distributions to Enable's unitholders exceed $0.330625 per unit in any quarter, the general partner will receive increasing percentages, up to 50 percent, of the cash Enable distributes in excess of that amount. OGE Energy is entitled to 60 percent of those "incentive distributions." In certain circumstances, the general partner has the right to reset the minimum quarterly distribution and the target distribution levels at which the incentive distributions receive increasing percentages to higher levels based on Enable's cash distributions at the time of the exercise of this reset election.

Enable Merger Agreement with Energy Transfer

On February 16, 2021, Enable entered into a definitive merger agreement with Energy Transfer, pursuant to which, and subject to the conditions of the merger agreement, all outstanding common units of Enable will be acquired by Energy Transfer in an all-equity transaction. Energy Transfer is a publicly traded limited partnership with core operations that include complementary natural gas midstream, intrastate and interstate transportation and storage assets; crude oil, NGLs and refined product transportation and terminalling assets; NGL fractionation; and various acquisition and marketing assets. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Enable's common unitholders, including OGE Energy, will receive 0.8595 of one common unit representing limited partner interests in Energy Transfer for each common unit of Enable. The transaction is subject to the receipt of the required approvals from the holders of a majority of Enable's common units. Contemporaneously with the execution of the merger agreement, OGE Energy entered into a support agreement with Enable and Energy Transfer in which OGE Energy agreed to vote its common units in favor of the merger. In April 2021, CenterPoint and OGE Energy, who collectively own approximately 79.2 percent of Enable's common units, delivered written consents approving the merger agreement, and those consents are sufficient to approve the merger. The transaction also is subject to the receipt of anti-trust approvals and other customary closing conditions. The transaction is anticipated to close in 2021. Assuming the transaction closes, OGE Energy will own approximately three percent of Energy Transfer's outstanding limited partner units in lieu of the 25.5 percent interest in Enable that it currently owns.

The merger agreement contemplates a registration rights agreement with Energy Transfer to be executed at the closing of the merger that provides for customary resale registration, demand registration and piggy-back registration rights with respect to Energy Transfer common units issued to OGE Energy in the merger. Assuming the successful completion of the merger, OGE Energy intends to exit the midstream segment in a prudent manner.

5.Related Party Transactions

OGE Energy charges operating costs to OG&E, and prior to December 2, 2021, charged operating costs to Enable, based on several factors, and operatingfactors. Operating costs directly related to OG&E and/or Enable are assigned as such. Operating costs incurred for the benefit of OG&E are allocated either as overhead based primarily on labor costs or using the "Distrigas" method, which is a three-factor formula that uses an equal weighting of payroll, net operating revenues and gross property, plant and equipment.

OGE Energy and OG&E

OGE Energy charged operating costs to OG&E of $32.2$31.7 million and $32.7$32.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively, and $101.3$97.8 million and $107.5$101.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively.

OGE Energy and Enable

Prior to December 2, 2021, OGE Energy and Enable are currentlywere parties to several agreements whereby OGE Energy providesprovided specified support services to Enable, such as certain information technology, payroll and benefits administration. Under these agreements, OGE Energy charged operating costs to Enable of $0.1 million during both the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and $0.3 million during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020.

Pursuant to a seconding agreement, OGE Energy provides seconded employees to Enable to support Enable's operations. As of September 30, 2021, 64 employees that participate in OGE Energy's defined benefit and retirement plans are seconded to Enable. OGE Energy billed Enable for reimbursement of $2.5 million and $3.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $10.3 million and $13.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, under the seconding agreement for employment costs. If the seconding agreement were terminated, and those employees were no longer employed by OGE Energy, and lump sum payments were made to those employees, OGE Energy would recognize a settlement or curtailment of the pension/retiree health care charges, which would increase expense at OGE Energy by $17.6 million. Settlement and curtailment charges associated with the Enable seconded employees are not reimbursable to OGE Energy by Enable. The seconding agreement can be terminated by mutual agreement of OGE Energy and Enable or solely by OGE Energy upon 120 days' notice.

6.5.Fair Value Measurements
 
The classification of the Registrants' fair value measurements requires judgment regarding the degree to which market data is observable or corroborated by observable market data. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value based on observable and unobservable data. The hierarchy categorizes the inputs into three levels, with the highest priority given to quoted prices in active markets for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority given to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels defined in the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.
 
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable at the reporting date for the asset or liability for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3 inputs are prices or valuation techniques for the asset or liability that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk).

8.7.Income Taxes

OGE Energy files consolidated income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. OG&E is a part of the consolidated income tax return of OGE Energy. With few exceptions, the Registrants are no longer subject to U.S. federal tax or state and local examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2017.2018. Income taxes are generally allocated to each company in the affiliated group, including OG&E, based on its stand-alone taxable income or loss. Federal investment tax credits previously claimed on electric utility property have been deferred and will be amortized to income over the life of the related property. Additionally, OG&E earnsearned federal tax credits associated with production from its wind facilities.facilities through January 2022. Oklahoma production and investment state tax credits are also earned on investments in electric and solar generating facilities which further reduce OG&E's effective tax rate.

Oklahoma Corporate Tax Rate Change

In May 2021, Oklahoma enacted a reduction of the corporate income tax rate to four percent from the previous six percent. This rate reduction will take effect January 1, 2022. ASC 740, "Income Taxes," requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be measured at the enacted tax rate expected to apply when temporary differences are to be realized or settled. Therefore, during the second quarter of 2021, the Registrants revalued state deferred tax liabilities to reflect this change in tax rate. For entities subject to ASC 980, "Accounting for Regulated Entities," such as OG&E, those entities are required to recognize a regulatory liability for the decrease in taxes payable for the change in tax rates that are expected to be returned to customers through future rates and to recognize a regulatory asset for the increase in taxes receivable for the change in tax rates that are expected to be recovered from customers through future rates. The revaluation resulted in a regulatory liability of $97.7

10.9.Long-Term Debt
 
At September 30, 2021,2022, the Registrants were in compliance with all of their debt agreements.

In May 2022, OGE Energy entered into a $100.0 million floating rate unsecured three-year credit agreement, of which $50.0 million is considered a revolving loan and $50.0 million is considered a term loan, and borrowed the full $50.0 million term loan, in order to preserve general financial flexibility within the company. Advances under this agreement were used to refinance existing indebtedness and for working capital and general corporate purposes of OGE Energy. The credit agreement, under certain circumstances, may be increased to a maximum commitment limit of $135.0 million and contains substantially the same covenants as OGE Energy's existing $550.0 million revolving credit agreement. The credit agreement is scheduled to terminate on May 24, 2025. At September 30, 2022, the weighted-average interest rate for the amount drawn on the term loan under this credit agreement was 3.23 percent during the quarter.
 
OG&E Industrial Authority Bonds

OG&E has tax-exempt pollution control bonds with optional redemption provisions that allow the holders to request repayment of the bonds on any business day. The following table presents information about these bonds, which can be tendered at the option of the holder during the next 12 months.

Total (redeemable during next 12 months)Total (redeemable during next 12 months)$135.4 Total (redeemable during next 12 months)$135.4 

All of these bonds are subject to an optional tender at the request of the holders, at 100 percent of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. The bond holders, on any business day, can request repayment of the bond by delivering an irrevocable notice to the tender agent stating the principal amount of the bond, payment instructions for the purchase price and the business day the bond is to be purchased. The repayment option may only be exercised by the holder of a bond for the principal amount. When a tender notice has been received by the trustee, a third-party remarketing agent for the bonds will attempt to remarket any bonds tendered for purchase. This process occurs once per week. Since the original issuance of these series of bonds in 1995 and 1997, the remarketing agent has successfully remarketed all tendered bonds. If the remarketing agent is unable to remarket any such bonds, OG&E is obligated to repurchase such unremarketed bonds. As OG&E has both the intent and ability to refinance the bonds on a long-term basis and such ability is
25


supported by an ability to consummate the refinancing, the bonds are classified as Long-Term Debt in the condensed balance sheets. OG&E believes that it has sufficient liquidity to meet these obligations.

Issuance of Long-Term Debt
23


In May 2021, OGE Energy issued $500.0 million of 0.703 percent senior notes, and OG&E issued $500.0 million of 0.553 percent senior notes. Each series of notes is due May 26, 2023 but may be redeemed by OGE Energy or OG&E on or after November 26, 2021 at a price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the senior notes being redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The proceeds from these issuances were used to repay $900.0 million of the $1.0 billion term loan OGE Energy entered into in March 2021 to help cover the fuel and purchased power costs incurred by OG&E during Winter Storm Uri.

11.10.Short-Term Debt and Credit Facilities
 
The Registrants borrow on a short-term basis, as necessary, by the issuance of commercial paper and by borrowings under their revolving credit agreements. OGE Energy also borrows under term credit agreements maturing in one year or less, as necessary. OGE Energy had $383.2 million and $95.0no short-term debt at September 30, 2022 compared to $486.9 million of short-term debt at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. At September 30, 2021, OG&E had $42.2 million in advances from OGE Energy compared to $272.0 million in advances to OGE Energy at December 31, 2020.

In March 2021, OGE Energy entered into a $1.0 billion unsecured 364-day term loan agreement and borrowed the full $1.0 billion to help cover the increased fuel and purchased power costs incurred by OG&E during Winter Storm Uri. The term loan contained substantially the same covenants as OGE Energy's $450.0 million revolving credit agreement, including various financial ratio covenants. Contemporaneously with the closing of the term loan agreement, in March 2021, OGE Energy made a capital contribution of $530.0 million to OG&E using the term loan proceeds, and OGE Energy also loaned $470.0 million to OG&E pursuant to an intercompany note issued by OG&E to OGE Energy. In May 2021, OG&E repaid the $470.0 million to OGE Energy, and OGE Energy used this repayment and other funds from its issuance of senior notes in May 2021 to repay $900.0 million of the $1.0 billion term loan, as further discussed in Note 10. At September 30, 2021, the weighted-average interest rate for the amount drawn on the term loan was 0.832 percent.2021.

This agreement has a termination date of March 8, 2024.December 17, 2026. At September 30, 2021,2022, there were no$47.6 million in intercompany borrowings under this agreement.
(E)(F)Represents the weighted-average interest rate for the outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit agreements, commercial paper borrowings and letters of credit.
(F)In March 2017, the Registrants entered into unsecured five-year revolving credit agreements totaling $900.0 million ($450.0 million for OGE Energy and $450.0 million for OG&E). Each of the revolving credit facilities contained an option, which could be exercised up to two times, to extend the term of the respective facility for an additional year. In March 2018, the Registrants each utilized one of those extensions to extend the maturity of their respective credit facility from March 8, 2022 to March 8, 2023. In January 2021, the Registrants each utilized the second of those extensions to extend the maturity of their respective credit facility from March 8, 2023 to March 8, 2024. Commitments of a single existing lender with respect to $50.0 million of OGE Energy's credit facility, however, were not extended and, unless the non-
26


extending lender is replaced in accordance with the terms of the credit facility, such commitments will expire March 8, 2023. The non-extending lender is not party to the OG&E facility.

In January 2021, the Registrants each entered into an amendment to their revolving credit facilities which gives each of the Registrants the option of extending such commitments for up to two additional one-year periods. In addition, the amendment addresses the establishment of an alternative rate of interest upon the occurrence of certain events related to the phase out of LIBOR.

The Registrants' ability to access the commercial paper market could be adversely impacted by a credit ratings downgrade or major market disruptions. Pricing grids associated with the Registrants' credit facilities could cause annual fees and borrowing rates to increase if an adverse rating impact occurs. The impact of any future downgrade could include an increase in the costs of the Registrants' short-term borrowings, but a reduction in the Registrants' credit ratings would not result in any defaults or accelerations. Any future downgrade could also lead to higher long-term borrowing costs and, if below investment grade, would require the Registrants to post collateral or letters of credit.
 
OG&E must obtain regulatory approval from the FERC in order to borrow on a short-term basis. OG&E has the necessary regulatory approvals to incur up to $800.0 million in short-term borrowings at any one time for athe two-year period ending December 31, 2022. OG&E has requested approval from the FERC to incur up to $1.0 billion for the two-year period beginning January 1, 20212023 and ending December 31, 2022.2024 and expects to receive approval prior to the expiration of its current authority.

12.11.Retirement Plans and Postretirement Benefit Plans

In accordance with ASC Topic 715, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits," a one-time settlement charge is required to be recorded by an organization when lump sum payments or other settlements that relieve the organization from the responsibility for the pension benefit obligation during the plan year exceed the service cost and interest cost components of the organization's net periodic pension cost. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, the Registrants experienced an increase in both the number of employees electing to retire and the amount of lump sum payments paid to such employees upon retirement, which resulted in the Registrants recording pension plan settlement charges as presented in the Pension Plan net periodic benefit cost tabletables below. The pension settlement charges did not require a cash outlay by the Registrants and did not increase total pension expense over time, as the charge was an acceleration of costs that otherwise would be recognized as pension expense in future periods.

Net Periodic Benefit Cost

The following tables present the net periodic benefit cost components, before consideration of capitalized amounts, of OGE Energy's Pension Plan, Restoration of Retirement Income Plan and postretirement benefit plans that are included in the condensed financial statements. Service cost is presented within Other Operation and Maintenance Expense, and the remaining net periodic benefit cost components as listed in the following tables are presented within Other Net Periodic Benefit ExpenseIncome (Expense) in the statements of income. OG&E recovers specific amounts of pension and postretirement medical costs in rates approved in its Oklahoma rate reviews. In accordance with approved orders, OG&E defers the difference between actual pension and postretirement medical expenses and the amount approved in its last Oklahoma rate review as a regulatory asset or regulatory liability. These amounts have been recorded in the Pension tracker in the regulatory assets and liabilities table in Note 1 and within Other Net Periodic Benefit ExpenseIncome (Expense) in the statements of income.

14.13.Commitments and Contingencies
 
Except as set forth below, in Note 1514 and under "Environmental Laws and Regulations" in Item 2 of Part I and in Item 1 of Part II of this Form 10-Q, the circumstances set forth in Notes 15 and 16 to the financial statements included in the Registrants' 20202021 Form 10-K appropriately represent, in all material respects, the current status of the Registrants' material commitments and contingent liabilities.

Environmental Laws and Regulations

The activities of the Registrants are subject to numerous stringent and complex federal, state and local laws and regulations governing environmental protection. These laws and regulations can change, restrict or otherwise impact the Registrants' business activities in many ways, including the handling or disposal of waste material, planning for future construction activities to avoid or mitigate harm to threatened or endangered species and requiring the installation and operation of emissions or pollution control equipment. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, the imposition of remedial requirements and the issuance of orders enjoining future

operations. Management believes that all of the Registrants' operations are in substantial compliance with current federal, state and local environmental standards.

Environmental regulation can increase the cost of planning, design, initial installation and operation of OG&E's facilities. Management continues to evaluate its compliance with existing and proposed environmental legislation and regulations and implement appropriate environmental programs in a competitive market.

Other
 
In the normal course of business, the Registrants are confronted with issues or events that may result in a contingent liability. These generally relate to lawsuits or claims made by third parties, including governmental agencies. When appropriate, management consults with legal counsel and other experts to assess the claim. If, in management's opinion, the Registrants have incurred a probable loss as set forth by GAAP, an estimate is made of the loss, and the appropriate accounting entries are reflected in the condensed financial statements. At the present time, based on currently available information, the Registrants believe that any reasonably possible losses in excess of accrued amounts arising out of pending or threatened lawsuits or claims would not be quantitatively material to their condensed financial statements and would not have a material adverse effect on their financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

15.14.Rate Matters and Regulation

Except as set forth below, the circumstances set forth in Note 16 to the financial statements included in the Registrants' 20202021 Form 10-K appropriately represent, in all material respects, the current status of the Registrants' regulatory matters.

Completed Regulatory Matters

APSC Proceedings

Arkansas 20202021 Formula Rate Plan Filing

In October 2020,2021, OG&E filed its thirdfourth evaluation report under its Formula Rate Plan, and on January 28, 2021,February 1, 2022, OG&E, entered into a non-unanimous settlement agreement with the APSC General Staff and the Office of the Arkansas Attorney General.General filed a non-unanimous joint settlement agreement, which included an annual electric revenue increase of $4.2 million. The only non-signatory to the settlement agreement agreed not to oppose the settlement. The settlement agreement included a revenue increase of $6.7 million, which is the maximum amount statutorily allowed in this filing. Additionally, the settling parties did not object to OG&E's request for a finding that the Arkansas Series II grid modernization projects included in this filing are prudent in cost. On March 9, 2021,4, 2022, the APSC issued a final order approving the non-unanimous settlement agreement, and new rates became effective April 1, 2021.

Disconnection Procedures Related to COVID-19

In September 2020, the APSC invited comments from all jurisdictional utilities and any other interested stakeholders on specific questions related to whether a moratorium on service terminations should be lifted and if so, how the resumption of disconnections should occur. The APSC also ordered utilities to submit a detailed "Transitional Plan" outlining how utilities proposed to reinstate routine service disconnection activities and collection of past due amounts once the moratorium was lifted. OG&E submitted its proposed Transitional Plan in October 2020.

On February 8, 2021, the APSC announced a target date of May 3, 2021 to lift the moratorium on disconnections and specified certain conditions and requirements that utilities must meet before disconnections may resume. Such requirements include, among other things, immediate communication to customers, notice periods for disconnections and deferred payment arrangements. On March 26, 2021, the APSC confirmed the lifting of the moratorium on disconnections on May 3, 2021 and directed utilities to take specific steps prior to resuming disconnections. OG&E resumed disconnections on May 3, 2021.

Arkansas Approval to Construct Out of State Generation

On March 3, 2021, OG&E filed an application with the APSC to request approval to construct a 5 MW solar facility in Oklahoma. The APSC issued an order on April 6, 2021, finding OG&E's application in the public interest, conditioned on Arkansas customers being held harmless and not subject to cost recovery associated with the project. OG&E expects the costs associated with constructing this solar facility to be fully recovered in Oklahoma.

Integrated Resource Plan

OG&E has conducted technical conferences for stakeholder engagement on its draft triennial system-wide IRP and, in October 2021, issued its final 2021 IRP to the APSC. This 2021 IRP identified system-wide capacity needs of 145, 183, 417 and 514 MWs in 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, respectively.2022.

OCC Proceedings

Oklahoma Grid Enhancement PlanWinter Storm Uri

In November 2020,December 2021, the OCC issuedapproved a settlement agreement in a final financing order approvingauthorizing the issuance of securitization bonds in an amount up to $760.0 million, which included estimated finance costs and was subject to change for carrying costs, any updates from the SPP settlement process and actual securitization issuance costs. On July 20, 2022, the ODFA issued the securitization bonds consistent with the OCC's order.

In connection with the securitization transaction, the ODFA and OG&E entered into an agreement on July 20, 2022 whereby the ODFA purchased, and OG&E sold, the securitization property that was created pursuant to legislation enacted by the State of Oklahoma in April 2021 and the financing order received from the OCC in December 2021. Such securitization property includes the right to assess, impose, adjust, collect and receive funds, in the form of the winter event securitization charge, from OG&E's existing and future Oklahoma customers in amounts intended to be sufficient to pay the principal and interest and financing charges on the securitization bonds. On July 20, 2022, OG&E received proceeds of approximately $750 million for the sale of the securitization property, which represented the amount of the securitization bonds sold less the issuance costs. OG&E used these proceeds to fund the Oklahoma Winter Storm Uri regulatory asset by recovering the authorized extreme, extraordinary fuel and purchased power costs incurred during Winter Storm Uri, as well as carrying costs. Beginning August 1, 2022, OG&E acts as a servicer for collecting the funds from Oklahoma customers that are then submitted to the ODFA to repay the securitization bonds over 28 years.

2021 Oklahoma General Rate Review

In December 2021, OG&E filed a general rate review in Oklahoma seeking a rate increase of $163.5 million and a 10.2 percent return on equity based on a common equity percentage of 53.37 percent. The rate review was based on a September 30, 2021 test year and included a request for recovery of $1.2 billion of capital investment since the last general rate review. OG&E had the right to implement interim rates subject to refund beginning July 1, 2022 (180 days after the filing of its application on December 30, 2021). On July 1, 2022, OG&E implemented an annual interim rate increase of $30.0 million, subject to refund for amounts in excess of the rates approved by the OCC.

On September 8, 2022, the OCC approved a Joint Stipulation and Settlement Agreement that allowshad been entered into by OG&E, the OCC Public Utility Division Staff, the Oklahoma Attorney General, the OG&E Shareholders Association, Oklahoma Industrial Energy Consumers and other intervenors. Non-signatory parties had agreed not to contest this agreement. Key terms of the agreement, as approved by the OCC, include, among others:

A base rate revenue increase of $30.0 million;
OG&E would issue a refund, over a 12-month period, for the tax expense savings arising from the reduction in the Oklahoma state corporate income tax rate from 6 percent to 4 percent for the period from January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022, as well as amortize over five years the excess accumulated deferred income tax balance resulting from this corporate tax rate change;
There would be no change in OG&E's current return on equity of 9.5 percent, and OG&E's requested capital structure based on a common equity percentage of 53.37 percent would be approved;
30


OG&E would utilize depreciation rates based on the recommendations of the Oklahoma Attorney General with the exception of transmission and general plant accounts, which would be based on the depreciation rates recommended by the Oklahoma Industrial Energy Consumers;
OG&E's Grid Enhancement Plan projects recorded as of March 31, 2022 would be considered prudent and be included in base rates;
OG&E's Grid Enhancement Plan interim recovery of OG&E's costs associated with its grid enhancement plan. The approved agreement included the following key terms:would continue and updated terms include: (i) cost recovery through a rider mechanism will be limited to projects placed in service in 20202022, 2023 and 2021,2024, capped at a revenue requirement of $7.0$6.0 million annuallyfor each annual investment plan and only include communication, automation and technology systems projects, as well as certain weather hardening projects; (ii) no operation and maintenance expense will be included in the rider mechanism; (iii)(ii) the rider mechanism will terminate by the issuance of a final order in OG&E's nextfirst general rate review following completion of projects included in the 2024 annual investment plan or October 31, 2022, whichever occurs first; (iv)no later than July 1, 2025;
OG&E would amend several of its rider tariffs to incorporate the rider mechanismagreements of the stipulating parties; and
Regulatory accounting treatments approved include, among other things, the establishment of a regulatory asset to defer operation and maintenance costs associated with OG&E's SAP S/4 HANA enterprise resource planning system project for consideration in future rate of return will be cappedproceedings with the carrying cost accruing at OG&E's currentshort-term cost of capital;debt, the amortization of COVID-19 regulatory asset balance over five years and (v) all costthe amortization of over/under-recovery balance of the pension tracker over 15 years, which is a change from the previous five-year recovery is subject to true-up and refund in OG&E's next general rate review. The rider mechanism became effective on February 1, 2021.period.

OG&E reportsDue to the September 8, 2022 OCC new projects completed each quarter, and the cost recovery factor is adjusted to include those projects after a stakeholder review. OG&E has submitted its report for projects that were placed in service through September 30, 2021. The cost recovery factors that include those projects will become effective on December 1, 2021.

Any capital investment falling outside the criteriaapproval of the rider mechanism will be included in OG&E's next general rate review for recovery.

Integrated Resource Plan

OG&E has conducted technical conferences for stakeholder engagement on its draft triennial system-wide IRP and, in October 2021, issued its final 2021 IRP to the OCC. This 2021 IRP identified system-wide capacity needsincrease of 145, 183, 417 and 514 MWs in 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, respectively.$30.0 million, no refund of interim rates was necessary.

Pending Regulatory Matters

Various proceedings pending before state or federal regulatory agencies are described below. Unless stated otherwise, the Registrants cannot predict when the regulatory agency will act or what action the regulatory agency will take. The Registrants' financial results are dependent in part on timely and adequateconstructive decisions by the regulatory agencies that set OG&E's rates.

FERC Proceedings

Order for Sponsored Transmission Upgrades within SPP

Under the SPP Open Access Transmission Tariff, costs of participant-funded, or "sponsored," transmission upgrades may be recovered from other SPP customers whose transmission service depends on capacity enabled by the upgrade. The SPP Open Access Transmission Tariff required the SPP to charge for these upgrades beginning in 2008, but the SPP had not been charging its customers for these upgrades due to information system limitations. However, the SPP had informed participants in the market that these charges would be forthcoming. In July 2016, the FERC granted the SPP's request to recover the charges not billed since 2008. The SPP subsequently billed OG&E for these charges and credited OG&E related to transmission upgrades that OG&E had sponsored, which resulted in OG&E being a net receiver of sponsored upgrade credits. The majority of these net credits were refunded to customers through OG&E's various rate riders that include SPP activity with the remaining amounts retained by OG&E.

Several companies that were net payers of Z2 charges sought rehearing of the FERC's July 2016 order; however, in November 2017, the FERC denied the rehearing requests. In January 2018, one of the impacted companies appealed the FERC's decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. In July 2018, that court granted a motion requested by the FERC that the case be remanded back to the FERC for further examination and proceedings. In February 2019, the FERC reversed its July 2016 order and November 2017 rehearing denial, ruled that the SPP violated its tariff to charge for the 2008 through 2015 period in 2016, held that the SPP tariff provision that prohibited those charges could not be waived and
33


ordered the SPP to develop a plan to refund the payments but not to implement the refunds until further ordered to do so. In response, in April 2019, OG&E filed a request for rehearing with the FERC, and in May 2019, OG&E filed a FERC 206 complaint against the SPP, alleging that the SPP's forced unwinding of the revenue credit payments to OG&E would violate the provisions of the Sponsored Upgrade Agreement and of the applicable tariff. OG&E's filing requested that the FERC rule that the SPP is not entitled to seek refunds or in any other way seek to unwind the revenue credit payments it had paid to OG&E pursuant to the Sponsored Upgrade Agreement. The SPP's response to OG&E's filing agreed that OG&E should be entitled to keep its Z2 payments and argued that the SPP should not be held responsible for those payments if refunds are ordered. Further, the SPP has requested the FERC to negotiate a global settlement with all impacted parties, including other project sponsors who, like OG&E, have also filed complaints at FERC contending that the payments they have received cannot properly be unwound.
31



In February 2020, the FERC denied OG&E's request for rehearing of its February 2019 order, denying the waiver and ruling that the SPP must seek refunds from project sponsors for Z2 payments for the 2008 through 2015 period and pay them back to transmission owners. The FERC also denied the SPP's request for a stay and for institution of settlement procedures. The FERC stated it would not institute settlement procedures unless parties on both sides of the matter requested them. The FERC did not rule on OG&E's complaint or the complaints of other project sponsors, or consider the SPP's refund plan. The FERC thus has not set any date for payment of refunds. In March 2020, OG&E petitioned the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit for review of the FERC's order denying the waiver and requiring refunds. The court issued a decision on August 27, 2021, denying review and holding that the SPP was prohibited by the filed rate doctrine from imposing Z2 charges during the 2008 through 2015 historical period. The court further held that the FERC reasonably exercised its remedial authority to order the SPP to refund the retroactive upgrade charge. The court did not direct a time frame or procedures for the SPP to implement refunds. OG&E and the SPP filed a petition for rehearing of the court's decision, which was denied onin October 29, 2021. The court will returnreturned the matter to the FERC for action in accordance with its opinion onin November 5, 2021.

If the FERC proceeds to order refunds in full, OG&E estimates it would be required to refund $13.0 million, which is net of amounts paid to other utilities for upgrades and would be subject to interest at the FERC-approved rate. The SPP has stated in filings it made with the FERC while the appeal was pending that there are considerable complexities in implementing the refunds that will have to be resolved before they can be paid. Payment of refunds would shift recovery of these upgrade credits to future periods. The SPP filed an update on January 4, 2022 confirming that administering refunds would be complex and could take years unless the SPP is allowed to make certain simplifying assumptions. It also urged that all pending complaint proceedings, including four complaints against the SPP, be resolved before the refund process is ordered to begin. OG&E and other parties filed responses to the SPP report, and the matter remains pending at the FERC. Of the $13.0 million, the Registrants would be impacted by $5.0 million in expense that initially benefited the Registrants in 2016, and OG&E customers would incur a net impact of $8.0 million in expense through rider mechanisms or the FERC formula rate. As of September 30, 2021,2022, the Registrants have reserved $13.0 million plus estimated interest for a potential refund.

In January 2020, the FERC acted on an SPP proposal to eliminate Attachment Z2 revenue crediting and replace it with a different rate mechanism that would provide project sponsors, such as OG&E, the same level of recovery, and rejected the proposal to the extent it would limit recovery to the amount of the upgrade sponsor's directly assigned upgrade costs with interest. The SPP resubmitted a proposal in April 2020 without this limited recovery, and with the alternative rate mechanism, and the FERC approved it in June 2020, effective July 1, 2020. No party sought rehearing of the order, and it is now final. This order would only prospectively impact OG&E and its recovery of any future upgrade costs that it may incur as a project sponsor subsequent to July 2020. All of the existing projects that are eligible to receive revenue credits under Attachment Z2, which includes the $13.0 million at issue in OG&E's appeal as discussed above, will continue to do so.

Incentive Adders for Transmission Rates

The FERC issued a NOPR onin March 20, 2020, and issued a supplemental NOPR onin April 15, 2021, proposing to update its transmission incentives policy. Among other things, the NOPR proposes (i) the current 50-basis point return on equity adder for RTO/ISO participation would be applicable only to transmitting utilities that join an RTO/ISO, and this incentive would only apply for the first three years in which the utility is an RTO/ISO member and (ii) transmitting utilities that have been members of an RTO/ISO for three years or more, such as OG&E, would be required to make a compliance filing to remove the existing return on equity adder from their rates. OG&E is currently evaluating the potential impacts of this proposed rule. Currently, there is no specific deadline for the FERC to take further action, and it is unknown whether the FERC will address the RTO participation adder individually or as part of a larger order on transmission incentives.

APSC Proceedings

Winter Storm Uri

In February 2021, Winter Storm Uri resulted in record winter peak demand for electricity and extremely high natural gas and purchased power prices in OG&E's service territory. On April 1, 2021, OG&E filed with the APSC a Motion for Authority to Establish Special Regulatory Treatment within the Energy Cost Recovery Rider to Defer Extraordinary Fuel Costs Incurred Due to Winter Storm Uri. More specifically, OG&E's motion sought approval to defer, amortize and recover the extraordinary fuel costs over a ten-year period with a carrying charge of OG&E's pre-tax rate of return of 6.60 percent, through a special factor within OG&E's Energy Cost Recovery Rider beginning with the first billing cycle of May 2021. On April 13, 2021, the APSC issued an order allowing OG&E interim recovery at an interest rate equal to the customer deposit interest rate, which is currently 0.8 percent, over a period of ten years beginning with the first billing cycle of May 2021. Recovery is subject
32


to a true-up after the APSC determines the appropriate allocation, length of recovery and carrying charge. On May 4, 2021, OG&E filed testimony further supporting its 10-year amortization period and a carrying charge of OG&E's pre-tax rate of return of 6.60 percent.

In April 2021, Arkansas enacted legislation to amend its storm recovery securitization statute to allow for both electric and gas utilities to recover through securitization extraordinary natural gas, fuel and purchased power costs caused by storms. The amended statute authorizesIn May 2021, the APSC to issue a financing order for the issuance of securitization bonds upon a finding it is reasonably expected to lower overall costs or mitigate rate impacts as compared with traditional utility financing. Upon the initiation of a securitization application, the APSC has 135 days to issue an order. The requesting utility has two years from the date of the financing order to issue the securitization bonds. The amended statute allows carrying costs at a utility's weighted average cost of capital from the date of when the costs were incurred until the date when bonds are ultimately issued.

On May 20, 2021,approved OG&E filed a&E's motion for suspension of procedural schedule which the APSC approved, to investigate and evaluate the potential securitization recovery of the Arkansas jurisdictional portion of the Winter Storm Uri costs.

On July 5, 2022, OG&E intendsfiled a motion to applyrequest recovery of the regulatory asset balance over 10 years using a weighted average cost of capital instead of through securitization. On July 15, 2022, the APSC Staff filed a response to OG&E’s motion stating the Staff does not oppose OG&E's request for securitization in earlyrecovery using a weighted average cost of capital, as long as no other party to the case opposes. Subsequently, other intervenors have filed their opposition to OG&E using a weighted average cost of capital for recovery. On August 1, 2022, if itthe APSC issued a procedural order to set a schedule for additional testimony, and a hearing on the merits is deemedexpected to strike the right balance between protecting the credit strength of OG&E and providing customer savings.be held on December 2, 2022. As of September 30, 2021,2022, OG&E has deferred $91.0$80.6 million to a regulatory asset, as indicated in Note 1.

Arkansas 2021 Formula Rate Plan Filing - Extension

On May 18, 2022, the APSC issued an order granting OG&E's request for a five-year extension of the Formula Rate Plan Rider with certain terms and conditions, including continuation of OG&E's current return on equity of 9.5 percent and a change to OG&E's current debt-to-equity ratio of 50/50 percent to 55/45 percent. On June 17, 2022, OG&E filed a request for rehearing seeking reconsideration by the APSC of their decision to alter the Formula Rate Plan Rider's capital structure. On September 19, 2022, the APSC issued an order reversing its May 18, 2022 order and denying the extension of OG&E's Formula Rate Plan Rider. On September 20, 2022, the APSC Staff filed a motion for clarification for the extension denial, and OG&E, the Arkansas Attorney General and Arkansas River Valley Energy Consumers filed responses to the clarification. On September 30, 2022, the APSC issued an order clarifying that OG&E is authorized to file its 2022 and 2023 evaluation reports under the Formula Rate Plan Rider to true-up prior projected year rate adjustments. On October 28, 2022, Arkansas River Valley Energy Consumers and Walmart Inc. filed a request for rehearing of the APSC's September 30, 2022 order and asked the APSC to reverse its position and prohibit OG&E from making any further filings under its current Formula Rate Plan. On November 1, 2022, OG&E filed against the request for rehearing. Despite the denial of the extension request, the Formula Rate Plan Rider will continue until new rates are set in a future general rate review.

Arkansas 2022 Formula Rate Plan Filing

On October 1, 2021,3, 2022, OG&E filed its fourthfifth evaluation report under its Formula Rate Plan, including a request to increase its Arkansas retail revenues by $6.4$8.5 million. OG&E also requested extending its Formula Rate Plan Rider by five years. If approved, new rates will be effective April 1, 2022.2023.

OCC Proceedings

Oklahoma Retail Electric Supplier Certified Territory Act Causes

Several rural electric cooperative electricity suppliers have filed complaints with the OCC alleging that OG&E has violated the Oklahoma Retail Electric Supplier Certified Territory Act. OG&E believes it is lawfully serving customers specifically exempted from this act and has presented evidence and testimony to the OCC supporting its position. There have been five complaint cases initiated at the OCC, and the OCC has issued decisions on each of them. The OCC ruled in favor of the electric cooperatives in three of those cases and ruled in favor of OG&E in two of those cases. All five of those cases have been appealed to the Oklahoma Supreme Court, where they have been made companion cases but will be individually briefed and have individual final decisions.

If the Oklahoma Supreme Court ultimately were to find that some or all of the customers being served are not exempted from the Oklahoma Retail Electric Supplier Certified Territory Act, OG&E would have to evaluate the recoverability of some plant investments made to serve these customers. The total amount of OG&E's plant investments made to serve the customers in all five cases is approximately $28.0 million, of which $11.7 million applies to the three cases where the OCC ruled in favor of the electric cooperatives. In addition to the evaluation of the recoverability of the investments, OG&E may also be required to reimburse certified territory suppliers for an amount of lost revenue. The amount of such lost revenue would depend on how the OCC calculates the revenue requirement but could range from approximately $26.0$17.4 million to $35.4$58.0 million for all five cases, of which $2.5$4.1 million to $3.9$7.0 million would apply to the three cases where the OCC ruled in favor of the electric cooperatives.

Winter Storm Uri

In February 2021 Winter Storm Uri resulted in record winter peak demand for electricity and extremely high natural gas and purchased power prices in OG&E's service territory. On February 24, 2021, OG&E submitted an application to the OCC outlining a two-step approach for regulatory treatment for the fuel and purchased power costs associated with Winter Storm Uri. The steps included: (i) an intra-year fuel clause increase to be effective April 1, 2021; and (ii) a request for regulatory asset treatment at OG&E's weighted average cost of capital for the remaining fuel and purchased power costs. On March 18, 2021, the OCC approved OG&E's filing to establish a regulatory asset. The approval allowed OG&E to create a regulatory asset for all deferred costs with an initial carrying charge based on the effective cost of the debt financing, until such time where the prudency of this event is evaluated, the amortization period is decided on and a long-term carry cost is established.

In April 2021, Oklahoma enacted legislation to allow for the securitization of costs incurred during Winter Storm Uri. The new statute authorizes the OCC to issue a financing order for the issuance of securitization bonds after consideration of certain factors, including but not limited to, mitigated impacts and savings for customers through the use of ratepayer-backed securitization bonds as compared to traditional utility financing. The OCC must issue a financing order within 180 days after receiving all necessary information required by the statute. Under the statute, the Oklahoma Development Finance Authority is responsible for issuing the securitization bonds within two years from the date of the financing order. Carrying costs will be included at a rate and time determined by the OCC and continue until the bonds are issued.

On April 26, 2021, OG&E filed an application pursuant to the Act seeking OCC approval to securitize its costs related to Winter Storm Uri and to receive an interim carrying charge on OG&E's regulatory asset balance at its weighted-average cost of capital for the period between April 2022 and the date when the securitized bonds are issued. On June 18, 2021, OG&E filed its direct testimony which supports the prudence of the costs incurred during Winter Storm Uri and demonstrates the customer savings associated with securitization as opposed to traditional utility financing. On October 8, 2021, OG&E filed a settlement agreement between OG&E, the Public Utility Division Staff of the OCC, the Oklahoma Industrial Energy Consumers, the OG&E Shareholders Association and Walmart Inc. The settlement agreement is subject to approval by the OCC. The settling parties agreed the OCC should issue a financing order authorizing the securitization of $760.0 million, which includes estimated finance costs and is subject to change for carrying costs, any updates from the SPP settlement process and actual securitization issuance costs. The settling parties agree that OG&E's total extreme purchase costs (for natural gas and wholesale energy purchases) are currently estimated to be $748.9 million, of which it is agreed that $739.1 million should be deemed prudent. Any adjustments for this settlement will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2021. The OCC conducted a hearing on the settlement agreement on October 13-14, 2021. The Administrative Law Judge is expected to draft a recommendation for deliberation on a final order by the OCC, and the final order is expected by December 15, 2021.

2020 Oklahoma Fuel Prudency

On June 28, 2021,July 1, 2022, the Public Utility Division Staff filed their application initiating the review of the 20202021 fuel adjustment clause and prudence review. OG&E filed its minimum filing requirementsMinimum Filing Requirements and supporting testimonySupporting Testimony on August 27, 2021.30, 2022, and responsive testimony is due January 6, 2023.

Fuel Cost Adjustment Show Cause

On September 29, 2022, the OCC Public Utility Division Staff initiated a cause to determine the appropriate methodology to recover OG&E's fuel clause under recovery balance of $424.0 million and how OG&E's fuel factors should be set going forward. The Staff requested that OG&E explain how it arrived at the noted under recovery balance, explain its fuel forecasting process, justify its amortization period of 24 months and explain the adequacy of its resource mix and fuel supply plans. Updated fuel factors were implemented by OG&E on October 1, 2022 to recover the balance from customers over 24 months. The Staff did not oppose OG&E's implementation of updated fuel factors on an interim basis and subject to refund. A hearing on the merits is scheduled to begin on November 3, 2022. A final order on this matter is expected by November 11, 2022, which would comply with the statutory requirement that an order be issued seven days post-hearing.

SPP Proceedings

Planning Reserve Margin and Performance Based Accreditation

On July 26, 2022, the SPP Board of Directors approved a planning reserve margin increase from 12 percent to 15 percent that each load serving entity, such as OG&E, must maintain. This change will be heldeffective for the summer of 2023. At the same time, the SPP Board of Directors also approved a new unit accreditation methodology, which begins a phased implementation starting in December 2021.the summer of 2024. As a result, OG&E is currently evaluating its plan to fill the incremental capacity needs brought about by these policy changes.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following combined discussion is separately filed by OGE Energy and OG&E. However, OG&E does not make any representations as to information related solely to OGE Energy or the subsidiaries of OGE Energy other than itself.

Introduction
 
OGE Energy is a holding company with investments in energy and energy services providers offering physical delivery and related services for both electricity in Oklahoma and western Arkansas. Prior to September 30, 2022, OGE Energy also held investments in Enable and Energy Transfer, which offered natural gas, primarily in the south-central U.S.crude oil and NGL services. OGE Energy conductsreports these activities through two business segments: (i) electric utility and (ii) natural gas midstream operations. The accounts of OGE Energy and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including OG&E, are included in OGE Energy's condensed consolidated financial statements. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in such consolidation. For periods prior to the December 2, 2021 closing of the Enable and Energy Transfer merger, OGE Energy generally uses theaccounted for its investment in Enable as an equity method investment and reported it within OGE Energy's natural gas midstream operations segment. For the period of accountingDecember 2, 2021 through September 30, 2022, OGE Energy accounted for investments where its ownership interest is between 20 percent and 50 percent andinvestment in the Energy Transfer units it lacksacquired in the power to direct activities that most significantly impact economic performance.merger as an investment in equity securities. As of September 30, 2022, OGE Energy has sold all of its Energy Transfer limited partner units, becoming primarily an electric utility.

OG&E. Electric Utility Operations.OGE Energy's electric utility operations are conducted through OG&E, which generates, transmits, distributes and sells electric energy in Oklahoma and western Arkansas. OG&E's rates are subject to regulation by the OCC, the APSC and the FERC. OG&E was incorporated in 1902 under the laws of the Oklahoma Territory and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of OGE Energy. OG&E is the largest electric utility in Oklahoma, and its franchised service territory includes Fort Smith, Arkansas and the surrounding communities. OG&E sold its retail natural gas business in 1928 and is no longer engaged in the natural gas distribution business.

Enable.Natural Gas Midstream Operations. OGE Energy's natural gas midstream operations segment representsincludes OGE Energy's investment in Enable. TheEnergy Transfer's equity securities acquired in the merger and legacy Enable seconded employee pension and postretirement costs. Prior to OGE Energy's sale of all Energy Transfer limited partner units, the investment in Enable isEnergy Transfer's equity securities was held through wholly-owned subsidiaries and ultimately OGE Holdings. FormedOGE Energy no longer has any ownership interest in 2013, Enable is primarily engaged in the business of gathering, processing, transporting and storing natural gas. Enable's natural gas gathering and processing assets are strategically located in four states and serve natural gas production in the Anadarko, Arkoma and Ark-La-Tex Basins. Enable also owns crude oil gathering assets in the Anadarko and Williston Basins. Enable has intrastate natural gas transportation and storage assets that are located in Oklahoma as well as interstate assets that extend from western Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle to Louisiana, from Louisiana to Illinois and from Louisiana to Alabama. Enable's general partner is equally controlled by OGE Energy and CenterPoint, who each have 50 percent management ownership. Based on the 50/50 management ownership, with neither company having control, OGE Energy accounts for its interest in Enable using the equity method of accounting. As disclosed in OGE Energy's 2020 Form 10-K, Enable is subject to a number of risks, including contract renewal risk, the reliance on the drilling and production decisions of others and the volatility of natural gas, NGLs and crude oil prices. The effects of COVID-19, including negative impacts on demand and commodity prices, could exacerbate these risks, as experienced in 2020 which, along with actions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other oil exporting nations, influenced OGE Energy's impairment of its investment in Enable. If any of those risks were to occur or reoccur, OGE Energy's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

In February 2021, Enable entered into a definitive merger agreement with Energy Transfer, which is further discussed under "Recent Developments - Enable Merger Agreement with Energy Transfer" below and in Note 4 within "Item 1. Financial Statements." For a discussion of risks related to the Enable and Energy Transfer merger, see "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in OGE Energy's 2020 Form 10-K.midstream operations.

Recent Developments

Enable Merger Agreement with Energy TransferWinter Storm Uri - Oklahoma Securitization

In FebruaryDecember 2021, Enable entered into a definitive merger agreement with Energy Transfer, pursuant to which, and subject to the conditions of the merger agreement, all outstanding common units of Enable will be acquired by Energy Transfer in an all-equity transaction. Energy Transfer is a publicly traded limited partnership with core operations that include complementary natural gas midstream, intrastate and interstate transportation and storage assets; crude oil, NGL and refined product transportation and terminalling assets; NGL fractionation; and various acquisition and marketing assets. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Enable's common unitholders, including OGE Energy, will receive 0.8595 of one common unit representing limited partner interests in Energy Transfer for each common unit of Enable. The transaction is subject to the receipt of the required approvals from the holders of a majority of Enable's common units. In April 2021, CenterPoint and OGE Energy, who collectively own approximately 79.2 percent of Enable's common units, delivered written consents approving the merger agreement, and those consents are sufficient to approve the merger. The transaction also is subject to the receipt of anti-trust approvals and other customary closing conditions. The transaction is anticipated to close in 2021. Assuming the transaction closes, OGE Energy will own approximately three percent of Energy Transfer's outstanding limited partner units in lieu of the 25.5 percent interest in Enable that it currently owns. OGE Energy expects to incur transaction costs for investment bankers, advisors and attorneys as part of the transaction.

Assuming the transaction closes, OGE Energy expects to receive distributions from Energy Transfer instead of the distributions currently received from Enable. Therefore, OGE Energy does not expect significant changes to its cash requirements for funding operations or capital expenditures as a result of the merger between Enable and Energy Transfer. Assuming the successful completion of the merger, OGE Energy intends to exit the midstream segment in a prudent manner.

Winter Storm Uri

In February 2021, Winter Storm Uri resulted in record winter peak demand for electricity and extremely high natural gas and purchased power prices in OG&E's service territory. Both the OCC and APSC have approved regulatory mechanisms for OG&E's recovery of the significant fuel and purchased power costs associated with Winter Storm Uri, as further discussed in Note 15 within "Item 1. Financial Statements." As of September 30, 2021, OG&E has recorded regulatory assets of $756.3 million and $91.0 million for the Oklahoma and Arkansas jurisdictional portions, respectively, of fuel and purchased power costs incurred during Winter Storm Uri.

In March 2021, OGE Energy entered into a $1.0 billion unsecured 364-day term loan agreement and borrowed the full $1.0 billion to help cover the significant fuel and purchased power costs incurred during Winter Storm Uri. In May 2021, OGE Energy and OG&E each issued $500.0 million in senior notes, and using these proceeds, OGE Energy repaid $900.0 million of the $1.0 billion term loan, as further described in Notes 10 and 11 within "Item 1. Financial Statements." The Oklahoma and Arkansas legislatures have both passed legislation that would help alleviate the immediate burden on customers and OGE Energy by securitizing the cost impacts from Winter Storm Uri. The securitization of these costs could spread out the recovery of the costs over a longer period of time at a lower finance carrying charge. On April 26, 2021, OG&E filed an application seeking OCC approval to securitize its costs related to Winter Storm Uri, and on June 18, 2021, OG&E filed its direct testimony which supports the prudence of the costs incurred during Winter Storm Uri and demonstrates the customer savings associated with securitization as opposed to traditional utility financing. On October 8, 2021, OG&E filed a settlement agreement between OG&E, the Public Utility Division Staff of the OCC, the Oklahoma Industrial Energy Consumers, the OG&E Shareholders Association and Walmart Inc. The settling parties agreed the OCC should issuein a final financing order authorizing the issuance of securitization ofbonds in an amount up to $760.0 million, which includesincluded estimated finance costs and iswas subject to change for carrying costs, any updates from the SPP settlement process and actual securitization issuance costs. On July 20, 2022, the ODFA issued the securitization bonds consistent with the OCC's order, and OG&E received proceeds of approximately $750 million for the sale of securitization property to the ODFA. See Note 14 within "Item 1. Financial Statements" for further discussion.

2021 Oklahoma General Rate Review

On September 8, 2022, the OCC approved a Joint Stipulation and Settlement Agreement that had been entered into by OG&E, the OCC Public Utility Division Staff, the Oklahoma Attorney General, the OG&E Shareholders Association, Oklahoma Industrial Energy Consumers and other intervenors. Non-signatory parties had agreed not to contest this agreement. The settlement agreement, is subject to approval byas approved, provides, among other things, for a base rate revenue increase of $30.0 million. Additional key terms of the OCC. Further discussion can be foundagreement are discussed in Note 1514 within "Item 1. Financial Statements." On July 1, 2022, OG&E implemented an annual interim rate increase of $30.0 million, subject to refund for amounts in excess of the rates approved by the OCC. Due to the September 8, 2022 OCC approval of the rate increase of $30.0 million, no refund of interim rates was necessary.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the U.S. and world. In an effort to contain COVID-19 or slow its spread, the U.S. federal, state and local governments enacted various measures, including orders to close or place restrictions on businesses not deemed "essential," enact "shelter in place" restrictions on residents and practice social distancing when engaging in essential activities. Since May
38


2020, there have been no Oklahoma City-wide or Oklahoma state-wide "shelter in place" restrictions. Currently, COVID-19 vaccines are available to all Oklahoma and Arkansas residents, depending upon the age requirements of the particular vaccine, and the Registrants have provided on-site access to COVID-19 vaccines to their members. The Registrants' top priority is to protect their employees and their families, as well as their customers. The Registrants are taking precautionary measures as directed by health authorities and local and national governments and continue to monitor COVID-19 cases and whether any occupancy reductions or closures are necessary to help ensure the health and safety of their employees and customers. The OCC and the APSC both issued accounting orders allowing the Registrants to defer for recovery the incremental costs incurred for pandemic-related safety measures and the incremental bad debt resulting from COVID-19. These orders are further discussed in Note 15 within "Item 1. Financial Statements" and in the Registrants' 2020 Form 10-K.Fuel Cost Adjustment Show Cause

On September 9, 2021, President Biden announced (i)29, 2022, the OCC Public Utility Division Staff initiated a cause to determine the appropriate methodology to recover OG&E's fuel clause under recovery balance of $424.0 million and how OG&E's fuel factors should be set going forward. The Staff requested that OG&E explain how it arrived at the noted under recovery balance, explain its fuel forecasting process, justify its amortization period of 24 months and explain the adequacy of its resource mix and fuel supply plans. Updated fuel factors were implemented by OG&E on October 1, 2022 to recover the balance from customers over 24 months. The Staff did not oppose OG&E's implementation of updated fuel factors on an executiveinterim basis and subject to refund. A hearing on the merits is scheduled to begin on November 3, 2022, and a final order requiring federal contractors to require that their employees be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (the "vaccine mandate") and (ii) a proposed new rule requiring all employers with at least 100 employees to require that their employees be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or tested weekly (the "testing mandate"). The vaccine mandate in the executive order is proposed to take effect in December 2021, but specific application to the Registrants also depends on timing of incorporation into existing federal contracts. OSHA is currently drafting an emergency regulation to carry out the testing mandate for large employers, whichthis matter is expected to take effect in the coming weeks. At this time, it is unclear, among other things, if and when the Registrants will be subject to the vaccine mandate, if the vaccine mandate and the testing mandate will apply to all employees or only to certain employees, and how compliance will be documented. If the Registrants are subject to the vaccine mandate, it could result in employee attrition, which could adversely affect the Registrants' business and results of operations. Implementation of the testing mandate would lead to increased expenses for the Registrants to acquire and administer tests and could lead to a scarcity of testing kits. Until the details of the vaccine mandate and the testing mandate are finalized, and any resulting litigation is resolved, the Registrants cannot predict with certainty the exact impact such mandates will have on them or their workforce.by November 11, 2022.

TheGlobal Macroeconomic Pressures

Geopolitical events, including the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, and related governmental and business responses, continue to have an impact on the Registrants' operations, supply chains distribution channels and end-user customers. The Registrants have experienced raw material inflation, logistical challenges and certain component shortages. Supply chain disruption, including the Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Duty review by the U.S. Department of Commerce, may result in delays in construction activities and equipment deliveries related to OGE Energy's capital projects. The timing and extent of the financial impact from the pandemic isthese events are still uncertain, and the Registrants cannot predict the magnitude of the impact to the results of their business and results of operations.

OG&E's Regulatory Matters

Completed regulatory matters affecting current period results are discussed in Note 1514 within "Item 1. Financial Statements."

Summary of OGE Energy Operating Results

Three Months Ended September 30, 20212022 as compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 20202021

OGE Energy's net income was $252.5$262.8 million, or $1.26$1.31 per diluted share, during the three months ended September 30, 20212022 as compared to $177.4$252.5 million, or $0.89$1.26 per diluted share, during the same period in 2020.2021. The increase in net income of $75.1$10.3 million, or $0.37$0.05 per diluted share, is further discussed below.

An increase in net income at OG&E of $24.3$29.3 million, or $0.12$0.14 per diluted share of OGE Energy's common stock, was primarily due to higher operating revenues driven by more favorable weather and revenues from the recovery of capital investments (excluding impacts of recoverable fuel, purchased power and direct transmission expense not impacting earnings), partially offset by higher income tax expense and higher depreciation and amortization expense due to an increase in depreciation rates effective as of July 1, 2022 resulting from the Oklahoma general rate review order received in September 2022, as well as additional assets being placed into service.
A decrease in net income at OGE Holdings of $14.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share of OGE Energy's common stock, was impacted by the elimination of OGE Energy's equity in earnings of Enable in 2022, which was driven by the merger of Enable and Energy Transfer closing in December 2021 and partially offset by a $39.4 million gain on OGE Energy's investment in Energy Transfer's equity securities.
An increase in net loss from other operations (holding company) of $4.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share of OGE Energy's common stock, was due to higher income tax expense, primarily from the reversal of an interim period consolidating tax benefit that was recorded in the first quarter of 2022, as OGE Energy has sold all of its Energy Transfer limited partner units.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

OGE Energy's net income was $615.4 million, or $3.07 per diluted share, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $418.1 million, or $2.09 per diluted share, during the same period in 2021. The increase in net income of $197.3 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, is further discussed below.

An increase in net income at OGE Holdings of $126.4 million, or $0.63 per diluted share of OGE Energy's common stock, was primarily due to a $282.1 million pre-tax gain on OGE Energy's investment in Energy Transfer's equity securities and distributions received from Energy Transfer of $34.0 million, partially offset by the elimination of OGE Energy's equity in earnings of Enable in 2022, which was driven by the merger of Enable and Energy Transfer closing in December 2021, and higher income tax expense.
An increase in net income at OG&E of $72.7 million, or $0.36 per diluted share of OGE Energy's common stock, was primarily due to higher operating revenues driven by more favorable weather and revenues from the recovery of capital investments (excluding impacts of recoverable fuel, purchased power and direct transmission expense not impacting earnings), partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense due to an increase in depreciation rates resulting from the Oklahoma general rate review order received in September 2022 and additional assets being placed into service as well as higher income tax expense and higher other operation and maintenance expense.
An increase in net income at OGE Holdingsloss from other operations (holding company) of $20.7$1.8 million, or $0.10$0.01 per diluted share of OGE Energy's common stock, was primarily due to an increase in equitynet interest expense due to the long-term debt issuance in earnings of Enable, which was driven by increased net income from Enable's gatheringMay 2021 and processing business resulting primarily from higher average market prices for NGL products and the 2020 impact of lower equity in earnings of Enable related to OGE Energy's share of Enable's SESH equity method investment impairment, as adjusted for basis differences, partially offset by an increase in income tax expense.
A decrease in net loss of other operations (holding company) of $30.1 million, or $0.15 per diluted share of OGE Energy's common stock, was primarily due to lower income tax expense in 2021. In March 2020, OGE Energy recorded an impairment of its investment in Enable which had a corresponding income tax benefit, due to a consolidating income tax adjustment related to the interim period that was eliminated in the ordinary course of business over the remainder of 2020.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

OGE Energy's net income was $418.1 million, or $2.09 per diluted share, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to a net loss of $228.5 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, during the same period in 2020. The increase in net income of $646.6 million, or $3.23 per diluted share, is further discussed below.

An increase in net income at OG&E of $21.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share of OGE Energy's common stock, was primarily due to higher operating revenues driven by more favorable weather, reduced by losses from the guaranteed flat bill program during Winter Storm Uri (excluding impacts of recoverable fuel, purchased power and direct transmission expenses not impacting earnings), and lower other operation and maintenance expense, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense due to additional assets being placed into service and higher income tax expense.
Net income at OGE Holdings was $100.9 million, or $0.50 per diluted share of OGE Energy's common stock, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to a net loss of $538.9 million, or $2.69 per diluted share of OGE Energy's common stock, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the 2020 impact of lower equity in earnings of Enable related to the impairment of OGE Energy's investment in Enable, partially offset by a decrease in income tax benefit related to this impairment charge, and the 2020 impact of OGE Energy's share of Enable's SESH equity method investment impairment, as adjusted for basis differences. The increase in equity in earnings of Enable was also impacted by increased net income from Enable's transportation and storage business resulting primarily from higher average natural gas sales prices and from Enable's gathering and processing business resulting primarily from higher average market prices for NGL products.
A decrease in net income of other operations (holding company) of $15.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share of OGE Energy's common stock, was primarily due to a lower income tax benefit driven by the 2020 impairment of OGE Energy's investment in Enable. The income tax benefit impact was due to a consolidating income tax adjustment related to the interim period that was eliminated in the ordinary course of business over the remainder of 2020.income.

OGE Holdings' net income increased $20.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily due to an increase in equity in earnings of Enable, which was driven by an increase in Enable's net income as further discussed below, partially offset by an increase in income tax expense. OGE Holdings' net income was $100.9 million compared to a net loss of $538.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This change was primarily due to the 2020 impact of the impairment of OGE Energy's investment in Enable, as discussed in Note 4 within "Item 1. Financial Statements."

The following table presents summarized information regarding Enable's income statement changesoperating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the same periods in 2020, and the corresponding impact those changes had on OGE Energy's equity in earnings of Enable.

Gathering and processing segment revenues increased for the three months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to:

an increase in revenues from NGL sales primarily due to an increase in the average realized sales price from higher average market prices for NGL products combined with higher recoveries of ethane and higher processed volumes;
an increase in revenues from natural gas sales due to higher average sales prices;
an increase in changes in the fair value of natural gas, condensate and NGL derivatives;
an increase in processing service revenues due to higher consideration received from percent-of-proceeds, percent-of-liquids and keep-whole processing arrangements due to higher average market prices, partially offset by lower processed volumes under fee-based arrangements; and
an increase in natural gas gathering revenues due to higher volumes gathered in the Anadarko Basin, partially offset by lower average rates on certain contracts; partially offset by
an increase in realized losses on natural gas, condensate and NGL derivatives;
a decrease in crude oil, condensate and produced water gathering revenue primarily due to a decrease in gathered crude oil and condensate volumes from lower producer activity.

Gathering and processing segment cost of natural gas and NGLs increased for the three months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to higher average market prices for NGL products and higher natural gas purchase costs.

Gathering and processing segment revenues increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to:

Enable's transportation and storage business segment net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 included a $225.0 million impairment that Enable recorded on its SESH equity method investment. Enable estimated the fair value of this equity method investment was below the carrying value at September 30, 2020 and concluded the decline in value was other than temporary due to the expiration of a transportation contract and the current status of renewal negotiations. OGE Energy recorded an $11.5 million pre-tax charge for its share of Enable's equity method investment impairment, as adjusted for basis differences.

Working Capital

Working capital is defined as the difference in current assets and current liabilities. OGE Energy's working capital requirements are driven generally by changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable, commodity prices, credit extended to and the timing of collections from OG&E's customers, the level and timing of spending for maintenance and expansion activity, inventory levels and fuel recoveries. The following discussion addresses changes in OGE Energy's working capital balances at September 30, 20212022 compared to December 31, 2020.2021.

Cash and Cash Equivalents increased $456.2 million, primarily due to proceeds received from OGE Energy's sales of Energy Transfer limited partner units and OG&E's receipt of securitization funds from the ODFA, which OGE Energy intends to utilize for repayment of the senior notes due in May 2023.

Accounts Receivable and Accrued Unbilled Revenues increased $99.4$174.9 million, or 44.176.9 percent, primarily due to an increase in billings to OG&E's retail customers reflecting higher seasonal usage in September 20212022 as compared to December 2020.2021.

Income Taxes Receivable decreased $7.6Fuel Inventories increased $44.7 million, primarily due to higher prices and volumes of coal and gas purchases.

Materials and Supplies, at Average Cost increased $39.8 million, or 93.833.8 percent, primarily due to current year tax expense accruals in excessincreased inventory which is partly a result of the receivables accrued asongoing supply chain and inflation impacts of December 31, 2020.the current economic environment.

Fuel Clause Under Recoveries moved from an over recovery position of $28.6increased $355.3 million, as of December 31, 2020 to an under recovery balance of $98.2 million as of September 30, 2021, primarily due to lower recoveries from OG&E retail customers as compared to the actual cost of fuel and purchased power. In October 2021,2022, OG&E implemented a revisedupdated fuel recovery tariff to

The increasefurther discussed in the tariff was approximately 7.5 percent for an average residential customer.Note 14 within "Item 1. Financial Statements."

Other Current Assets increased $14.4$30.8 million, or 35.042.0 percent, primarily due to an increase in SPP deposits, and under-recovered riders, partially offset by a decrease in prepayments and the SPP transmission formula rate true-up.under recovered riders.

Short-term Debt increased $288.2decreased $486.9 million, primarily due to the repayment of short-term borrowings under OGE Energy's revolving credit and term loan agreements to provide additional liquidityused for the current fuel clause under recovery position and the increased fuel and purchased power costs incurred as a result of Winter Storm Uri.general operating needs. OGE Energy borrows on a short-term basis, as necessary, by the issuance of commercial paper and borrowings under its revolving credit agreements and term credit agreements.

Accrued Taxes increased $27.1$210.9 million, or 48.7 percent, primarily due to increased tax accruals resulting from tax accruals, partially offset bythe gain on sale of Energy Transfer limited partner units during 2022 coupled with the timing of ad valorem tax payments.

Accrued Compensation increased $7.5$6.3 million, or 24.116.7 percent, primarily due to increased labor accruals as a result of pay period timing differences.

Long-Term Debt Due Within One Year increased $999.9 million, primarily due to the reclassification of long-term debt that will mature in May 2023.

Other Current Liabilities increased $6.9$22.5 million, or 20.566.0 percent, primarily due to changes in amounts of taxes owed.due, an increase in over recovered riders and SPP reserves.

Future CapitalMaterial Cash Requirements

OGE Energy's primary, needs for capitalmaterial cash requirements are related to acquiring or constructing new facilities and replacing or expanding existing facilities at OG&E. Other working capital requirements are expected to be primarily related to maturing debt, operating lease obligations, fuel clause under and over recoveries and other general corporate purposes. Further, working capital requirements can be seasonal. OGE Energy generally meets its cash needs through a combination of cash generated from operations, short-term borrowings (through a combination of bank borrowings and commercial paper) and permanent financings.

Capital Expenditures
 
OGE Energy's estimates of capital expenditures which represent base maintenance capital expenditures plus capital expenditures for known and committed projects, for the years 20212022 through 20252026 are presenteddiscussed in detail within "Item 7.

The capital expenditures for Enableinvestments are not included.customer-focused and targeted to maintain and improve the safety and reliability of OG&E's distribution and transmission grid and generation fleet, enhance the ability of OG&E's system to perform during extreme weather events and to serve OG&E's growing customer base. Additional capital expenditures beyond those identified below,in the Registrants' 2021 Form 10-K, including additional incremental growth opportunities, will be evaluated based upon the requirements of OG&E's power supply, transmission and distribution operational teams and the resultant customer benefits. OG&EOGE Energy is evaluating infrastructure investments incremental to the amounts belowidentified in the Registrants' 2021 Form 10-K related to new generation capacity needs as outlined in itsOG&E's October 2021 IRP as well as additional gridand recent changes to the SPP's planning reserve margin and resource capacity accreditation. The annual level of investments in the transmission and distribution system could also vary depending on the amount and timing of incremental generation capacity investments. Supply chain disruption may increase the risk of delays in construction activities and equipment deliveries related to address customer growth and grid resiliency.OGE Energy's capital projects.

Financing Activities and Future Sources of Financing

Management expects that cash generated from operations, proceeds from the issuance of long- and short-term debt, proceeds from the sales of common stock to the public through OGE Energy's Automatic Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan or other offerings and distributions from Enable (and assuming the merger transaction closes, Energy Transfer) will be adequate over the next three yearsshort-term and the long-term to meet anticipated cash needs and to fund future growth opportunities. OGE Energy utilizes short-term borrowings (through a combination of bank borrowings and commercial paper) to satisfy temporary working capital needs and as an interim source of financing capital expenditures until permanent financing is arranged.

In March 2021, OGE Energy entered into a $1.0 billion unsecured 364-day term loan agreement2024 and expects to provide additional liquidityreceive approval prior to help cover the increased fuel and purchased power costs incurred by OG&E during Winter Storm Uri. In May 2021, $900.0 millionexpiration of the $1.0 billion term loan was repaid using the proceeds from the senior notes issued by both OGE Energy and OG&E, as further described below. See Note 11 within "Item 1. Financial Statements" for further discussion of the Registrants' short-term debt activity.its current authority.

Issuance of Long-Term Debt

In May 2021, OGE Energy issued $500.0 million of 0.703 percent senior notes, and OG&E issued $500.0 million of 0.553 percent senior notes. Each series is due May 26, 2023 but may be redeemed by OGE Energy or OG&E on or after November 26, 2021 at a price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the senior notes being redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The proceeds from these issuances were used to repay $900.0 million of the $1.0 billion term loan2022, OGE Energy entered into a $100.0 million floating rate unsecured three-year credit agreement, of which $50.0 million is considered a revolving loan and $50.0 million is considered a term loan, and borrowed the full $50.0 million term loan, in March 2021order to preserve general financial flexibility within the company. Advances under this agreement were used to refinance existing indebtedness and for working capital and general corporate purposes of OGE Energy. The credit agreement, under certain circumstances, may be increased to a maximum commitment limit of $135.0 million and contains substantially the same covenants as OGE Energy's existing $550.0 million revolving credit agreement. The credit agreement is scheduled to terminate on May 24, 2025. At September 30, 2022, the weighted-average interest rate for the amount drawn on the term loan under this credit agreement was 3.23 percent during the quarter.

OG&E expects to issue $300.0 million to $400.0 million in long-term debt in the first half of 2023 to help cover the fuel and purchased power costs incurred by OG&E during Winter Storm Uri.fund its capital investments.

Securitization of Oklahoma Winter Storm Uri Extreme Purchase Costs

In April 2021, OG&E filed an application with the OCC seeking its approval to securitize OG&E's costs related to Winter Storm Uri. In October 2021, OG&E filed a settlement agreement between OG&E, the Public Utility Division Staff of the OCC, the Oklahoma Industrial Energy Consumers, the OG&E Shareholders Association and Walmart Inc. The settlement agreement is subject to approval by the OCC. The settling parties agreed the OCC should issue a financing order authorizing the securitization of $760.0 million, which includes estimated finance costs and is subject to change for carrying costs, any updates from the SPP settlement process and actual securitization issuance costs. ForAs further discussion, seediscussed in Note 1514 within "Item 1. Financial Statements.Statements," on July 20, 2022, the ODFA issued securitization bonds, and OG&E received proceeds of approximately $750 million for the sale of securitization property to the ODFA. OG&E used these proceeds to fund the Oklahoma Winter Storm Uri regulatory asset by recovering the authorized extreme, extraordinary fuel and purchased power costs incurred during Winter Storm Uri, as well as carrying costs.

Security Ratings 

Access to reasonably priced capital is dependent in part on credit and security ratings. Generally, lower ratings lead to higher financing costs. Pricing grids associated with OGE Energy's credit facilities could cause annual fees and borrowing rates to increase if an adverse rating impact occurs. The impact of any future downgrade could include an increase in the costs of
44


OGE Energy's short-term borrowings, but a reduction in OGE Energy's credit ratings would not result in any defaults or
51


accelerations. Any future downgrade could also lead to higher long-term borrowing costs and, if below investment grade, would require OGE Energy to post collateral or letters of credit.

On May 17, 2022, S&P's Global Ratings revised their ratings outlook on both OGE Energy and OG&E from negative to stable and affirmed all of their ratings on both entities.

A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. Such rating may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the credit rating agency, and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

On March 1, 2021, Moody's Investors Service revised their ratings outlook on both OGE
Distributions by Energy and OG&E from stable to negative. Moody's Investors Service indicated that the negative outlook on OGE Energy's rating is consistent with OG&E's and reflects the increased regulatory uncertainty related to the recovery timeline of the cost incurred to procure fuel and purchased power during Winter Storm Uri.Transfer

On March 3, 2021, S&P's Global Ratings revised their ratings outlook on both OGE Energy and OG&E from stable to negative. S&P's Global Ratings indicated that the revised outlooks reflect their expectation for weaker financial measures directly associated with the significant increase in fuel and purchased power costs as a result of Winter Storm Uri, the uncertainty regarding timely recovery of those costs and the associated refinancing risk related to the 364-day $1.0 billion term loan. For OGE Energy, S&P's Global Ratings indicated the revised outlook also reflects their expectation of execution risk associated with the closing of Energy Transfer's acquisition of Enable.

Distributions by Enable

Pursuant to the Enable Limited Partnership Agreement, duringDuring the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, Enable made2022, OGE Energy received distributions of $18.3$4.0 million and $55.0$34.0 million, torespectively, from Energy Transfer, which are presented within Other Income in OGE Energy's 2022 condensed consolidated income statement.

Sale of Energy Transfer's Equity Securities

As previously disclosed, OGE Energy respectively.intended to become primarily an electric utility by exiting its investment in Energy Transfer's equity securities. As of September 30, 2022, OGE Energy has sold all of its 95.4 million Energy Transfer limited partner units, resulting in pre-tax net proceeds of $1,067.2 million. OGE Energy intends to use these proceeds to help repay the $1.0 billion in senior notes due in May 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The condensed financial statements and notes thereto contain information that is pertinent to Management's Discussion and Analysis. In preparing the condensed financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Changes to these assumptions and estimates could have a material effect on the condensed financial statements. The Registrants believe they have taken reasonable positions where assumptions and estimates are used in order to minimize the negative financial impact to the Registrants that could result if actual results vary from the assumptions and estimates. 

In management's opinion, the areas where the most significant judgment is exercised for the Registrants include the determination of Pension Plan assumptions, income taxes, contingency reserves, asset retirement obligations, regulatory assets and liabilities, unbilled revenues and the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable. For OGE Energy, significant judgment is also exercised in the determination of any impairment of equity method investments. The selection, application and disclosure of the critical accounting estimates have been discussed with the Audit Committee of OGE Energy's Board of Directors and are discussed in detail within "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the Registrants' 20202021 Form 10-K.

Commitments and Contingencies
 
In the normal course of business, the Registrants are confronted with issues or events that may result in a contingent liability. These generally relate to lawsuits or claims made by third parties, including governmental agencies. When appropriate, management consults with legal counsel and other experts to assess the claim. If, in management's opinion, the Registrants have incurred a probable loss as set forth by GAAP, an estimate is made of the loss, and the appropriate accounting entries are reflected in the condensed financial statements. At the present time, based on available information, the Registrants believe that any reasonably possible losses in excess of accrued amounts arising out of pending or threatened lawsuits or claims would not be quantitatively material to their condensed financial statements and would not have a material adverse effect on their financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Notes 1413 and 1514 within "Item 1. Financial Statements" for further discussion of the Registrants' commitments and contingencies.

Environmental Laws and Regulations

The activities of OG&E are subject to numerous stringent and complex federal, state and local laws and regulations governing environmental protection. These laws and regulations can change, restrict or otherwise impact OG&E's business activities in many ways, including the handling or disposal of waste material, planning for future construction activities to avoid
52


or mitigate harm to threatened or endangered species and requiring the installation and operation of emissions or pollution control equipment. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, the imposition of remedial requirements and the issuance of orders enjoining future operations. Management believes that all of the Registrants' operations are in substantial compliance with current federal, state and local environmental standards.

President BidenBiden's Administration has taken a number of actions that adopt policies and affect environmental regulations, adopted by the Trump administration, including issuance of an executive orderorders that instructsinstruct the EPA and other executive agencies to review certain rules that affect OG&E with a view to achieving nationwide reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. OG&E is monitoring these actions which are in the preliminaryvarious stages of being implemented. At this point in time, the impacts of these actions on the Registrants' results of operations, if any, cannot be determined with any certainty.

Environmental regulation can increase the cost of planning, design, initial installation and operation of OG&E's facilities. Management continues to evaluate its compliance with existing and proposed environmental legislation and regulations and implement appropriate environmental programs in a competitive market.

Air

Federal Clean Air Act Overview

OG&E's operations are subject to the Federal Clean Air Act of 1970, as amended, and comparable state laws and regulations. These laws and regulations regulate emissions of air pollutants from various industrial sources, including electric generating units and also impose various monitoring and reporting requirements. Such laws and regulations may require that OG&E obtain pre-approval for the construction or modification of certain projects or facilities expected to produce air emissions or result in the increase of existing air emissions, obtain and strictly comply with air permits containing various emissions and operational limitations or install emission control equipment. OG&E likely will be required to incur certain capital expenditures in the future for air pollution control equipment and technology in connection with obtaining and maintaining operating permits and approvals for air emissions.

Cross-State Air Pollution RuleOG&E is working cooperatively with federal and state environmental agencies to create emission limits for OG&E's operations that are consistent with legal requirements for protecting health and the environment while being cost effective for OG&E to implement. Although various court proceedings are pending that challenge the validity or stringency of rules issued by federal and state environmental agencies, OG&E is not currently a party to any of these proceedings. At this time, OG&E does not anticipate additional material capital expenditures for compliance with the existing rules.

On September 7, 2016,The EPA revised the National Ambient Air Quality Standard for ozone in 2015. Although Oklahoma complies with the revised standard, the Federal Clean Air Act of 1970, as amended, requires states to submit to the EPA finalized an updatefor approval a SIP to the 2011 Cross-State Air Pollution Rule. The update appliesprohibit in-state sources from contributing significantly to ozone-season NOx emissions from power plants in 22 eastern states (including Oklahoma). The rule utilizes a cap and trade program for NOx emissions and went into effect on May 1, 2017 in Oklahoma. The update reduces the 2011 Cross-State Air Pollution Rule emissions cap for all of OG&E's coal and gas facilities (except the River Valley and Frontier facilities which were not owned by OG&E until 2019) by 47 percent combined. OG&E and numerous other parties filed petitions for judicial and administrative reviewnonattainment of the 2016 rule. On September 13, 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued an opinion that partially remanded the Cross-StateNational Ambient Air Pollution Rule update and also deferred a decisionQuality Standard in another state. In response to litigation, on OG&E's challenges to the rule pending an EPA review and decision on a separate administrative petition that OG&E filed. Subsequently, all of OG&E's judicial challenges were voluntarily dismissed, but the administrative petitions for reconsideration remain pending at the EPA. On October 30, 2020,April 6, 2022, the EPA published a proposed rulefederal implementation plan under the Cross State Air Pollution Rule intended to revisereduce interstate NOx emissions contributions. The federal implementation plan, which includes Oklahoma among 24 other states, proposes to limit the 2016 update rule and address the 2019 remand. The EPA published a final versioncurrent emissions budgets over four years for certain generating units including ten of the remanded ruleOG&E's units beginning in the Federal Register on May 17, 2021. Consistent2023. OG&E filed comments with the proposal,EPA on June 21, 2022 and is closely monitoring this issue; however, it is unknown at this time what, if any, potential material impacts will result from the EPA does not require additional reductions in the emissions budget for Oklahoma based on a determination that the state does not cause or contribute to nonattainment of the ambient air quality standards in the relevant downwind areas.action.

In July 2020, the ODEQ notified OG&E that the Horseshoe Lake generating units would be included in Oklahoma's second Regional Haze implementation period evaluation of visibility impairment impacts to the Wichita Mountains. OG&E submitted an analysis of all potential control measures for NOx on these units to the ODEQ. The ODEQ submitted a revised SIP to the EPA on August 12, 2022. It is unknown at this time what the outcome, or any potential material impacts, if any, will be from the evaluations by OG&E, the ODEQ and the EPA.

OG&E continues to monitor these processes and their possible impact on its operations. Future rules could adopt additional reductions in the emissions budget for Oklahoma or the areas where OG&E's facilities are located. In particular, OG&E ismonitors possible changes in compliance with the rule requirements which remain in effect and does not anticipate, at this time, additional capital expenditureslegal standards for compliance with the regulation.

Climate Change and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
There is continuing discussion and evaluation of possible global climate change in certain regulatory and legislative arenas. The focus is generally on emissions of greenhouse gases, including CO2, sulfur hexafluoride and methane, and whether these emissions are contributing toincluding the warming of the earth's atmosphere. On April 22, 2021, President Biden announced aAdministration's target for the U.S. in association with the United Nations' "Paris Agreement" on climate change. The target consists of a 50 to 52 percent reduction from 2005 levels in economy-wide net greenhouse gas emissions in 2030. President Biden also has stated that a goalfrom 2005 levels by 2030 with full decarbonization of his administration is to see the electric power industry fully decarbonized by 2035. The details surrounding the implementation of these targets are not finalized and the impact to OG&E, if any, is currently unknown. Such initiatives mayIf legislation or
5346


result in future additional greenhouse gas emissions reductions in the U.S.; however, it is not possible to determine what the U.S. standards for greenhouse gas emissions will be in the future or the extent to which these commitments will be implemented through the Clean Air Act or any other existing statutes or new legislation.
If legislation or regulations are passed at the federal or state levels in the future requiring mandatory reductions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases at OG&E's facilities, this could result in significant additional compliance costs that would affect OG&E's future financial position, results of operations and cash flows if such costs are not recovered through regulated rates. Several states outside the area where OG&E operates have passed laws, adopted regulations or undertaken regulatory initiatives to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, primarily through the planned development of greenhouse gas emission inventories and/or regional greenhouse gas cap and trade programs.

OG&E's current business strategy&E has resulted in reduced carbon dioxide emissions by over 40 percent compared to 2005 levels, and during the same period, emissions of ozone-forming NOx have been reduced by approximately 7570 percent and emissions of SO2 have been reduced by approximately 9085 percent. OG&E expects to further reduce carbon dioxide emissions to 50 percent of 2005 levels by 2030. To comply with the EPA's MATS rule and Regional Haze Rule FIP,EPA rules, OG&E converted two coal-fired generating units at the Muskogee Station to natural gas, among other measures. OG&E's deployment of Smart Grid technology helps to reduce the peak load demand. OG&E is also deploying more renewable energy sources that do not emit greenhouse gases.

In October 2021, OG&E releasedissued its finalmost recent IRP to the OCC and APSC that proposes to expand its renewable generation fleet, including the development of additional solar resources beginning in 2023. OG&E's service territory borders one of the nation's best wind resource areas, andresources. OG&E has leveraged its geographic position to develop renewable energy resources and completed transmission investments to deliver the renewable energy. The SPP has authorized the construction of transmission lines capable of bringing renewable energy out of the wind resource areas in western Oklahoma, the Texas Panhandle and western Kansas to load centers by planning for more transmission to be built in the area. In addition to increasing overall system reliability, these new transmission resources should provide greater access to additional wind resources that are currently constrained due to existing transmission delivery limitations.
Regional Haze Regulation - Second Planning Period

In January 2017, the EPA finalized a rule that would revise certain provisions of the Regional Haze Rule. Notably, the EPA extended the SIP deadline for the second Regional Haze implementation period by three years to 2021 and made changes to the provisions for impacts to national parks and other protected wilderness areas. Petitions for Reconsideration to the EPA were filed by industry groups. While not acting on the petitions, the EPA announced on January 17, 2018 that it intends to commence a notice-and-comment rulemaking revisiting certain aspects of the rule, which has not commenced. During 2019, the EPA released technical resources to assist states in developing SIPs, including a significant non-binding guidance document and updated atmospheric modeling which will allow states to better account for international emissions affecting regional haze in the U.S. On July 8, 2021, the EPA issued a memorandum providing further information on the development of SIPs for the Regional Haze second implementation period.

On July 1, 2020, the ODEQ notified OG&E that the Horseshoe Lake generating units are to be included in the state's evaluation of visibility impairment impacts to the Wichita Mountains. OG&E conducted an analysis of all potential control measures for NOx on these units and submitted it to the ODEQ on September 15, 2020. The ODEQ was required to identify any cost-effective control measures in a Regional Haze SIP and submit it to the EPA for approval by July 31, 2021. However, as of September 30, 2021, the ODEQ's website states that it is currently in the development stage of this SIP. It is unknown at this time what the outcome, or any potential material impacts, will be from the evaluations by OG&E, the ODEQ and the EPA.

Endangered Species

Certain federal laws, including the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Endangered Species Act, provide special protection to certain designated species. These laws and any state equivalents provide for significant civil and criminal penalties for unpermitted activities that result in harm to or harassment of certain protected animals and plants, including damage to their habitats. If such species are located in an area in which OG&E conducts operations, or if additional species in those areas become subject to protection, OG&E's operations and development projects, particularly transmission, wind or pipeline projects, could be restricted or delayed, or OG&E could be required to implement expensive mitigation measures.

On June 1, 2021, the USFWS published a proposed rule to list two distinct population segments of the lesser prairie chicken;Lesser Prairie Chicken; the southern distinct population segment located in west Texas and eastern New Mexico is proposed as endangered status, and the northern distinct population located in northwest Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado is proposed to be listed as threatened status with a 4(d) rule which would prohibit take of the chicken, such as destroying its habitat by building a
54


transmission line or substation, without a permit or special authorization from the USFWS. The final rule for the listing decision is expected to occur in Junelate 2022.

On November 9, 2021, the USFWS published a proposed rule to list the Alligator Snapping Turtle as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, along with a 4(d) rule that would provide conservation of the species. The habitat located within the OG&E service territory is limited to eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas; however, the USFWS is proposing to exempt incidental take by industry for operation and maintenance and other routine activities that are conducted by using best management practices that reduce incidental take and conserve the habitat. The final rule for the listing decision is expected to occur in November 2022.

On March 23, 2022, the USFWS published a proposed rule to reclassify the Northern Long-Eared Bat as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. The historical habitat located within OG&E service territory is limited to eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas. The final rule for the listing decision is expected to occur by March 2023.

On September 14, 2022, the USFWS published a proposal to list the Tricolored Bat as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. According to the proposal, the current known range of the Tricolored Bat extends to 36 states, including Oklahoma and Arkansas. OG&E is reviewing the proposal, and comments are due November 14, 2022.

OG&E is closely monitoring each of these issues due to possible future impacts; however, it is unknown at this time what, if any, material impacts will result from the USFWS action.

Waste

OG&E's operations generate wastes that are subject to the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 as well as comparable state laws which impose detailed requirements for the handling, storage, treatment and disposal of waste.

47


Over 95 percent of the ash from OG&E's Muskogee and Sooner facilities was recovered and sold to the concrete and cement industries in the last twothree years, and in 2021, River Valley became OG&E's third power plant to enter an agreement to have its fly ash reused. Using ash in this way also helps cement manufacturers minimize their impact on the environment by avoiding the need to extract and process other natural resources. Based on estimates from the American Coal Ash Association, OG&E fly ash reuse helped avoid over three million tons of CO2 emissions in the last 1314 years.

OG&E has sought and will continue to seek pollution prevention opportunities and to evaluate the effectiveness of its waste reduction, reuse and recycling efforts. OG&E obtains refunds from the recycling of scrap metal, salvaged transformers and used transformer oil. Additional savings are expected to be gained through the reduction and/or avoidance of disposal costs and the reduction in material purchases due to the reuse of existing materials.

Water

OG&E's operations are subject to the Federal Clean Water Act and comparable state laws and regulations. These laws and regulations impose detailed requirements and strict controls regarding the discharge of pollutants into state and federal waters.
In 2015, the EPA issued a final rule addressing the effluent limitation guidelines for power plants under the Federal Clean Water Act. The final rule establishes technology- and performance-based standards that may apply to discharges of six waste streams including bottom ash transport water. Compliance with this rule will occur by 2023; however, on April 12, 2017, the EPA granted a Petition for Reconsideration of the 2015 Rule. On October 13, 2020, the EPA published a final rule to revise the technology-based effluent limitations for flue gas desulfurization waste water and bottom ash transport water. On August 3, 2021, the EPA published notice in the Federal Register that it will undertake a supplemental rulemaking to revise the effluent limitation guidelines rule after completing its review of the October 2020 rule. The existing effluent limitation guidelines will remain in effect while the EPA undertakes this new rulemaking. OG&E is evaluating what, if any, compliance actions are needed but is not able to quantify with any certainty what costs may be incurred. OG&E expects to be able to provide a reasonable estimate of any material costs associated with the rule's implementation following issuance of the permitspermit requirements from the State of Oklahoma.

Since the purchase of the Redbud facility in 2008, OG&E's average use of treated municipal effluent for all of the needed cooling water at Redbud and McClain is approximately 2.5 billion gallons per year. This use of treated municipal effluent offsets the need for fresh water as cooling water, making fresh water available for other beneficial uses like drinking water, irrigation and recreation.

Site Remediation

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and comparable state laws impose liability, without regard to the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons responsible for the release of hazardous substances into the environment. Because OG&E utilizes various products and generates wastes that are considered hazardous substances for purposes of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, OG&E could be subject to liability for the costs of cleaning up and restoring sites where those substances have been released to the environment. At this time, it is not anticipated that any associated liability will cause a significant impact to OG&E.
