HEEP Rebates

Billing Options Perfect for You

OG&E offers several options that can fit your lifestyle.

  • Average Monthly Billing (AMB), known as Levelized Billing in Arkansas, is designed to level out those bills during hot summer months of high electricity use. Your total annual cost for electricity remains about the same, but you have the convenience of a more consistent bill each month.
  • SmartHours – By switching to our SmartHours price plan during the summer, you'll see savings by shifting your energy use when you can. Additionally, SmartHours benefits customers age 65 and older because they qualify for a $5.00 monthly credit, June through September. This billing option rewards decreased usage during peak summer demand hours. That’s a guaranteed initial summer savings of $20.00! This is currently only available to customers in Oklahoma. 

Silver Energy Partners and Projects

OG&E partners with social services agencies to provide comfort, safety and security to residents in the towns and cities we serve. We know that many of our silver customers need help making improvements to their homes. OG&E provides each employee with 16 hours of paid volunteer time each year. We have prioritized Silver Energy projects to directly benefit from these volunteer hours.

  • United Way. In support of the United Way’s mission, our employees contributed nearly $1.2 million to United Way through our workplace giving last year. Recipients like the Areawide Aging Agency, Rebuilding Together, Urban League of Central Oklahoma, The Salvation Army and others have programs and services which directly benefit our silver customers.  
  • Fan Donations. For over a decade, OG&E has provided 1,200 electric fans each summer to low-income and silver residents in 12 communities across Oklahoma and western Arkansas.  Using a fan can keep residents cool while reducing costs.  
  • Cool Zones. Each summer, OG&E partners with nearly 300 local libraries, shopping centers, senior centers, churches and other locations to open Cool Zones to provide heat relief during the hot Oklahoma and western Arkansas summers.
