PSO is more than a provider of electric service to more than 500,000 customers across Oklahoma. We are a partner with community leaders and our customers in the more than 230 Oklahoma cities and towns that we serve.

Our employees live and work in the communities that we serve and we encourage our employees to become active through volunteerism, serving in a leadership capacity where possible on projects.

And, our involvement has paid off. The involvement of PSO and its parent American Electric Power has financial benefits that come from company operations and activities in Oklahoma.
