Public Service Company of Oklahoma

With nearly 1,700 employees — 1,100 in the Tulsa area alone — PSO has the workforce and the experience to safely deliver reliable, affordable power to Tulsa’s homes and businesses.

Tulsa-based Public Service Company of Oklahoma serves more than 568,000 customers, powering a cleaner, brighter energy future.

Since 1913, PSO has been building Oklahoma. Initially serving six cities — Tulsa, Vinita, Lehigh, Guthrie, Atoka and Coalgate — PSO has spread its reach to 232 Oklahoma communities statewide from Afton in northeast Oklahoma’s Ottawa County to Hollis in the southwest corner.

Safe, affordable, reliable power are the daily commitments of PSO. With approximately 3,800 megawatts of diverse generating capacity — primarily wind and natural gas — PSO energizes Oklahoma’s future growth and prosperity.

When the Traverse wind farm in Blaine and Custer counties went into commercial operations in March, PSO completed its North Central Energy Facilities, three wind farms that produce enough fuel-free energy to power 440,000 homes. Traverse is the largest wind farm built at one time in North America, a complement to PSO’s foundation of natural gas-powered generation units in Tulsa,

Jenks, Oologah, Lawton, Weleetka and Anadarko. PSO has proposed additional fuel-free power facilities — wind and solar — to further shield PSO customers against the inflationary forces of high fuel prices.

The North American electrical grid is the largest and most complex machine built by man. Maintaining its resiliency requires constant vigilance and investment. PSO maintains and operates more than 24,000 miles of distribution lines and 3,700 miles of transmission lines. With nearly 1,700 employees — 1,100 in the Tulsa area alone — PSO has the workforce and the experience to safely deliver reliable, affordable power to Tulsa’s homes and businesses.

PSO is a unit of American Electric Power, based in Columbus, Ohio. Being part of a multistate investor-owned company gives PSO financial power to invest in grid resilience and diversity. Also being part of our larger, multistate company provides a broad depth of in-house knowledge and resources — thousands of engineers and line workers available to bolster PSO’s base of experience and skills and further ensure dependable, affordable power for PSO’s customers.

Service is an integral part of PSO’s culture. In 2022, PSO employees and the AEP Foundation raised a record $450,000 for six United Way agencies across the state. Whether it’s marching in the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. parade or helping clean and rebuild the town of Idabel after an EF-4 tornado destroyed more than 100 homes, PSO and its workers are dedicated to helping their fellow Oklahomans.
