AG Drummond has eye on natural gas supply with next winter storm

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – On Monday, Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond announced his office is placing thoughtful attention to the marketing activities and natural gas supply as residents brace for another round of cold temperatures.

According to Drummond's Office, his agency remains committed to ensuring Oklahomans are not exploited.

“It is important that ratepayers be protected from price manipulation to ensure fair costs that reflect market conditions,” Drummond said. “While I understand the natural volatility of energy prices during inclement weather, such fluctuations do not justify predatory behavior.”

The AG's office has requested public utilities to disclose when natural gas marketers fail to meet their obligations.

Drummond says, his office is still going after the various entities for the rise in natural gas prices during Winter Storm Uri in February 2021.
