Oklahoma HB2751 establishes new rules for electric transmission facilities, including competitive bidding and independent evaluation.

Oklahoma HB2751 mandates that retail electric suppliers and rural electric cooperatives seeking to extend, rebuild, or upgrade their transmission facilities must solicit competitive bids. The process must be overseen by an independent evaluator appointed by the Corporation Commission. The Commission also gains authority to ensure new transmission facilities provide reliable service at the lowest reasonable cost. The bill exempts certain electric cooperatives from these requirements. The new rules take effect on November 1, 2025.
