Project Summary: | Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company, located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, has been awarded $130 million in funding to develop a smarter energy grid. The U.S. Department of Energy selected Oklahoma Gas and Electric as one of 100 companies to receive federal stimulus funds as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Beginning in 2010, the stimulus funds will be used to deploy a smart grid network that will provide 771,000 meters to 100% of its customers, combining in-home technology with dynamic price response programs, and implement advanced distribution automation technologies that will facilitate "self-healing" and power restoring properties on the grid.
