Who Takes Care of What

Repairs to the wire that runs from the utility pole to your house and the meter are OG&E’s responsibility. Repairs to the cable that runs down the side of your house and the box that holds the meter are your responsibility. Having a qualified electrician perform the repairs you're responsible for helps ensure we can restore your power quickly after an outage.

Storm Debris Cleanup

Following an act of nature, it’s your responsibility to dispose of tree debris. Following routine tree trimming, OG&E will move the debris to the to the curb, but it’s still your responsibility to dispose of it.
