OGE Energy Corp. 7
Operational Excellence
WE DELIVERED
Ingenuity and Teamwork Redbud power plant, seen here under construction in 2002, fired up all four generating
units nearly 24 hours a day on 30 consecutive days last summer. At Horseshoe Lake power plant, members installed
temporary suction pumps in the nearby river when the water level dropped, threatening the units’ operation. At
Mustang power plant, members coordinated an effort to drill new wells when the nearby lake dried up.
In our asset-driven businesses, it is critical that operations run smoothly and
our members know what to do and how to do it safely. This requires planning
and preparedness.
During 2011’s blistering summer, OG&E’s preventive plant maintenance program
proved to be a valuable investment when all available power generation resources
were needed to meet customers’ increased demand. Our line crews endured
long hot hours and even battled wildfires in an effort to restore power as
quickly as possible.
Enogex members delivered historic gathering and transportation pipeline volumes
in June and August respectively. And despite trying conditions, pipeline members
turned in a safety performance that ranked among the industry’s best.
We continue to make progress toward an incident- and injury-free workplace.
Through determination, willpower and constant engagement, we’re creating a
culture where even one incident or injury is one too many.
