Oklahoma power plants get natural gas preference
The law favors natural gas for new Oklahoma power plants to support renewable energy and use the state's gas resources. It states that new fossil fuel plants and added capacity at existing fossil fuel plants should use natural gas. Generators choosing another fossil fuel may give regulators evidence that their choice best serves Oklahoma electricity customers. That evidence goes to the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, or the appropriate regulator for generators outside its authority. The law lists July 1, 2025, as its effective date, but also includes an emergency clause providing immediate effect upon passage and approval.
