- Capacity and Timeline: The units have a total nameplate capacity of 448 megawatts and are scheduled to enter service by the end of 2029.
- Regulatory Conditions: The OCC approved rider recovery for the units once in service and approved two Capacity Purchase Agreements (CPAs). However, the OCC did not approve the use of Construction Work in Progress (CWIP) or a return on the CPAs.
- Plan Update: OGE Energy has updated its capital plan to include these units and extended the plan horizon to 2030.

- Financing Strategy: Incremental investments will be financed with a mix of debt and equity to support investment-grade credit ratings and targeted credit metrics.
- Risks: Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties outside the company's control. The filing explicitly states no obligation to update these projections.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific terms of the approved Capacity Purchase Agreements (CPAs) and the impact of the denied return on CPAs on project economics.
- Confirm the financing mix (debt vs. equity) for the $7.285 billion capital plan to assess leverage impacts.
- Monitor the 2029 in-service date for Horseshoe Lake Units 13 and 14 for potential construction delays.
