Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization | Organization OGE Energy is a holding company whose primary investment provides electricity in Oklahoma and western Arkansas. OGE Energy's electric company operations are conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary, OG&E, which generates, transmits, distributes and sells electric energy in Oklahoma and western Arkansas and are reported through OGE Energy's electric company business segment. 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 the largest electric company in Oklahoma, with a franchised service territory that 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. 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.
Basis of Presentation | 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 June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the results of the Registrants' operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and the Registrants' cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature except as otherwise disclosed. Management also has evaluated the impact of events occurring after June 30, 2025 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 six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 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' 2024 Form 10-K.
Accounting Records | 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 electric company, 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. The following table presents a summary of OG&E's regulatory assets and liabilities.

(A) Included in Other Current Assets in the condensed balance sheets. (B) Included in Other Current Liabilities in the condensed balance sheets. 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 | 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 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. 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 or when certain requirements are met. 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.

Legislative Matters | Legislative Matters Oklahoma In May 2025, SB 998 was passed into law and will become effective August 29, 2025. This legislation allows rate-regulated retail electric service providers, such as OG&E, to receive CWIP recovery of new natural gas generation capacity, if those proposed generation sources are approved by the OCC under existing statutory review procedures, and sets specific timelines for the OCC to review proposed projects. SB 998 also allows utilities to establish a regulatory asset to defer 90 percent of depreciation expense and return associated with qualified plant investments, that are not classified as transmission or new generation, for recovery over an allowed 20 year period in a future rate review filing. Arkansas In March 2025, Act 373 was signed into law by the Governor of Arkansas. Act 373 enables rate-regulated retail electric providers, such as OG&E, to receive CWIP recovery of "strategic investments", including (i) new electric generating facilities, including transportation and storage facilities for associated fuel, (ii) upgrades, expansions, or fuel conversions of electric generating facilities, including transportation and storage facilities for associated fuel, and (iii) new or upgraded electric transmission facilities, including substations. All projects are subject to review and approval by the APSC. Act 373 further authorizes use of a rider to recover approved strategic investments that are not being recovered through previously approved rates, upon approval of the project by the APSC.
