AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoUtility Regulation: Oklahoma’s PSO rate case stays in the spotlight as the Corporation Commission reviews a proposed $600 million increase; after AG Gentner Drummond pushed for a settlement, the interim impact was framed as about a $2.45 monthly rise for typical residential customers, with critics warning methodology could shift costs toward industry. Public Safety & Compliance: The Marissa Murrow Act took effect, requiring specialized licensing and in-person alcohol service training for bartenders at Oklahoma event venues—aimed at closing a loophole that left private rentals less regulated than bars and restaurants. Energy & Data Centers: The PSO fight also ties into a separate “large load tariff” for data centers and other high-demand users, as industrial groups and federal stakeholders question how demand is measured and allocated. Banking & Deals: Sovereign Bank is acquiring Leader First Bancorp, parent of The First National Bank in Marlow, expanding its southern Oklahoma footprint under the Sovereign brand. Local Business: Enid Brewing owner Brady Sidwell bought Stillwater’s Iron Monk Brewing, combining operations to serve customers across northern Oklahoma. Sports Business: The NBA’s biggest headlines include the Celtics trading Jaylen Brown to the 76ers for Paul George and multiple draft picks, while LeBron James enters free agency after leaving the Lakers.
