Statement from Alliance for Secure Energy Executive Director Jeff Cloud on SB 1103

While it is disappointing that SB 1103, the Ratepayer Protection Act of 2023, did not receive a floor vote before the deadline, I am encouraged by the conversation to protect Oklahomans from price shocks, mandate cost-saving programs and increase resiliency during future weather events through increased fuel storage. Significant policy changes like SB 1103 are difficult to achieve. They take time. I appreciate our legislative leaders' work to improve our state's energy policy. The Alliance for Secure Energy looks forward to continuing our advocacy to support practical and forward-looking solutions that will protect and fortify the affordable, reliable power Oklahomans expect and deserve.
