OGE Energy's solid execution and continued community growth deliver strong shareholder results
OKLAHOMA CITY, May 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- OGE Energy Corp. (NYSE: OGE) virtually held its 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders today, electing its board of directors and acting on a number of items.
Chairman, President and CEO Sean Trauschke began the meeting by thanking the company's employees for their unwavering commitment to the company's customers and communities as they deliver life-sustaining and life-enhancing products and services.
"I am grateful for our incredible employees whose dedication and strong execution led to a solid year, particularly when you consider how weather extremes impacted other parts of the country," Trauschke said. "In 2022, we advanced a number of customer initiatives including continued upgrades and enhancements to the grid as well a new mobile app and new System Watch outage map. We look forward to continuing OG&E's rich history in building and growing communities as we invest in transmission, distribution and generation to support that growth."
Trauschke discussed the company's continued focus on delivering reliable and resilient electricity at rates 22% below the national average and 15% below Texas.
