Natural-gas share is the portion of Oklahoma in-state electricity net generation supplied by natural gas. Gas-fired plants and alternative generating resources concern this mix; in-state generation differs from electricity consumed in the state. Procurement targets and authorizations are distinct from operating plants or measured output. This connection does not establish causation. Actions after the measurement period cannot explain the earlier observed value.

B. Provided, that the term public utility shall not include or be taken to mean a corporation, association, company, individuals, their trustees, lessees, receivers, successors, or assignees engaged in the production of electricity, provided that such entity furnishes an electric service or commodity on the premises directly to itself, an affiliate, or tenants or indirectly by contracting with a public utility, rural electric cooperative, or municipality for the purpose of furnishing electric service to a specific customer or is an exempt wholesale generator, so long as that service or commodity is not resold as retail electric service or supplied indirectly or directly for public use. Nothing herein shall relieve such an entity of its obligation to comply with state and federal grid interconnection and registration requirements and associated costs from the applicable regional transmission organization or public utility in the state . There shall not be a requirement or an obligation for a public utility to serve any customer receiving electric service from an entity described herein. Further, it shall not limit any party from asserting a right they may otherwise be entitled to under Oklahoma law including filings with the Commission. Additionally, any project pursuant to this act shall be required to utilize a natural gas component in their power generation capacity.

Gross rent includes contract rent and tenant-paid utilities. Rental protections, assistance, and housing supply concern components of rental-market conditions; they do not set Oklahoma’s median rent. This connection does not establish causation. Actions after the measurement period cannot explain the earlier observed value.

Section 121. A. Except as otherwise provided in this act, if there is a material noncompliance by the landlord with the terms of the rental agreement or a noncompliance with any of the provisions of Section 118 of this title which noncompliance materially affects health or safety, the tenant may deliver to the landlord a written notice specifying the acts and omissions constituting the breach and that the rental agreement will terminate upon a date not less than thir ty (30) days after receipt of the notice if action to correct the breach has not meaningfully begun within fourteen (14) days, and thereafter the tenant may terminate or bring an action in court to enforce an obligation of the landlord. 1. A tenant may not bring an action under this title unless the following conditions are met: a. the tenant gives the landlord written notice of the landlord's noncompliance with a provision of this title, b. the landlord has been given a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed fourteen (14) days, to make repairs or provide a remedy of the condition described in the tenant's notice. The tenant may not prevent the landlord from having access to the rental premises to meaningfully begin to make repairs or to meaningfully begin to provide a remedy to the condition described in the tenant's notice, and c. the landlord fails or refuses to repair or remedy the condition described in the tenant's notice. 2. If the tenant is the prevailing party in an action under this section, the tenant may obtain any of the following, if appropriate under the circumstances: a. actual damages and consequential damages, b. injunctive relief, c. damage equivalent to two (2) months' rent, and d. any other remedy appropriate under the circumstances. 3. The landlord's liability for damages begins when: a. the landlord has notice or actual knowledge of noncompliance, and b. the landlord has: (1) refused to remedy the noncompliance, or (2) failed to meaningfully begin to remedy the noncompliance within a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed fourteen (14) days, following the notice or actual knowledge. B. Except as otherwise provided in this act, if there is a material noncompliance by the landlord with any of the terms of the rental agreement or any of the provisions of Section 118 of this title which noncompliance materially affects health and the breach is remediable by repairs, the reasonable cost of which is equal to or less than one month's rent, the tenant may notify the landlord in writing of his or her intention to correct the condition at the landlord's expense after the expiration of fourteen (14) days. If the landlord fails to meaningfully begin to comply within said fourteen (14) days, or as promptly as conditions require in the case of an emergency, the tenant may thereafter cause the work to be done in a workmanlike manner and, after submitting to the landlord an itemized statement, deduct from his or her rent the actual and reasonable cost or the fair and reasonable value of the work, not exceeding the amount specified in this subsection, in which event the rental agreement shall not terminate by reason of that breach. If the cost of necessary repairs exceeds one month's rent, after written notice stating the specific reason for the withholding, the tenant may withhold payment of rent and immediately deposit it in a separate bank or savings and loan account, written evidence of such action to be provided to the landlord upon deposit, maintained only for the purpose of making repairs until such time as the landlord makes the repairs, at which time the tenant shall release the deposit to the landlord or until sufficient money is accumulated in the account for the tenant to cause the repairs to be made and paid for. C. Except as otherwise provided in this act, if, contrary to the rental agreement or Section 118 of this title, the landlord willfully or negligently fails to supply heat, running water, hot water, electric, gas or other essential service, the tenant may give written notice to the landlord specifying the breach and thereafter may: 1. Upon written notice, immediately terminate the rental agreement; or 2. Procure reasonable amounts of heat, hot water, running water, electric, gas or other essential service during the period of the landlord's noncompliance and deduct their actual and reasonable cost from the rent; or 3. Recover damages based upon the landlord's noncompliance, at the discretion of the court; or 4. Upon written notice, procure reasonable substitute housing during the period of the landlord's noncompliance, in which case the tenant is excused from paying rent for the period of the landlord's noncompliance. D. Except as otherwise provided in this act, if there is a noncompliance by the landlord with the terms of the rental agreement or Section 118 of this title, which noncompliance renders the dwelling unit uninhabitable or poses an imminent threat to the health and safety of any occupant of the dwelling unit and which noncompliance is not remedied as promptly as conditions require, the tenant may immediately terminate the rental agreement upon written notice to the landlord which notice specifies the noncompliance. E. 1. The prevailing party in any action brought under this section may recover reasonable attorney fees under the provisions of Section 105 of this title. 2. If any action is brought under this section, or Section 131 or 132 of this section, and the action is found to have been brought in bad faith, the prevailing party may recover damages equivalent to two (2) months' rent. F. All rights of the tenant under this section do not arise until he or she has given written notice to the landlord or if the condition complained of was caused by the deliberate or negligent act or omission of the tenant, a member of his or her family, his or her animal or pet or other person or animal on the premises with his or her consent.

The Commission shall enter an order on an application filed pursuant to this subsection within two hundred forty (240) days of the filing of the application, following notice and hearing and after consideration of reasonable alternatives, unless the electric generation facility utilizes natural gas as its primary fuel source. If the electric generation facility uses natural gas as its primary fuel source, then the Commission shall enter an order on an application filed pursuant to this subsection within one hundred eighty (180) days of the filing of the application, following notice and hearing and after consideration of reasonable alternatives. […] 6. The Commission shall permit an electric utility to begin to recover return on and return of Construction-Work-In-Progress expenses prior to commercial operation of a newly constructed electric generation facility subject to the provisions of this subsection, provided the newly constructed electric generation facility utilizes natural gas as its primary fuel source. The Commission shall permit a separate rate adjustment mechanism, adjusted periodically, to recover the costs described in this section for new capacity in natural-gas-fired electric generation facilities. The new natural-gas-fired electric generation capacity eligible for those provisions shall also include new natural-gas-fired capacity additions at an existing electric generation facility. If a public utility implements a rate adjustment mechanism pursuant to this section and subsequently terminates the initiative to construct or acquire stake in a natural gas electric generation facility, the public utility shall automatically refund customers any amounts collected through such rate adjustment mechanism plus interest at the one-year United States Treasury Bill rate through the mechanism, over a period not to exceed ninety (90) days from the effective date of the termination of the initiative. 7. For any new natural-gas-fired electric generation facility constructed pursuant to this section, an electric utility shall secure a firm contract to transport natural gas to the generating facility. Such contract shall be secured pursuant to a competitive solicitation process conducted in accordance with applicable Commission rules. The cost incurred for the contract shall be presumed recoverable by the electric utility through its applicable fuel adjustment clause. Costs assessed upon the electric utility by the Commission for non-compliance with this section shall not be recoverable from the customers of the electric utility. If the electric utility does not receive a bid for firm transportation as a result of its competitive solicitation, the electric utility shall be considered compliant with the requirements of this section provided that the Commission determines that the competitive solicitation is for a firm contract for transport of natural gas which could be reasonably provided by an available pipeline.
