Item 8.01. Other Events
 
OGE Energy Corp. (the "Company") is the parent company of Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company ("OG&E"), a regulated electric utility with approximately 822,000 customers in Oklahoma and western Arkansas. In addition, the Company holds a 26.3 percent limited partner interest and a 50 percent general partner interest in Enable Midstream Partners, LP.

As previously reported, on December 2, 2015, OG&E received an order from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission ("OCC") regarding a plan to comply with the Federal Clean Air Act as well as the Mustang Modernization project. By a two to one vote, the OCC denied OG&E’s plan to comply with the environmental mandates of the Federal Clean Air Act and the Regional Haze and Mercury and Air Toxics Standards.  The OCC also denied OG&E’s request for pre-approval of its Mustang Modernization Plan, revised depreciation rates for both the retirement of the Mustang units and the replacement combustion turbines and pre-approval of early retirement and replacement of generating units at its Mustang site, including cost recovery through a rider.

On December 11, 2015, OG&E filed a motion requesting modification of the OCC order for the purposes of approving only the Environmental Compliance Plan ("ECP"). OG&E was not seeking modification to any other provision of the OCC order, including cost recovery. OG&E also agreed that it would not implement a rider for recovery of the costs of the ECP until and unless authorized by the OCC in a subsequent proceeding.

On December 23, 2015, the OCC rejected, by a two to one vote, a proposal by Commissioner Dana Murphy to grant OG&E’s December 11, 2015 motion.
