Auto Pay: Pay monthly bills through automated drafts from your checking or savings account at no extra charge. Residential members can also use credit or debit card accounts. Auto Pay takes one billing cycle to set up, so if you currently have a bill due, please pay using another payment option.
ePay: Make one-time payments using a checking account with no processing fees. Residential members may pay by Visa®, MasterCard® or Discover® with no convenience fee.
Pay Now: Make a payment online without registering. You will need your account number and the account owner’s last name or business name.

OEC can automatically send an email to the address associated with your account confirming your transaction. You can choose email notification options under the Notifications tab on your SmartHub account home page. If you use the one-time online payment method, you will see a confirmation screen with a Transaction ID. You will then have the option to print a receipt of this transaction or receive an email confirmation (web only).
All payments made to your account will be reflected in your OEC account balance immediately.
Questions about your transaction should be directed to OEC member associates at (405) 321-2024 during office hours.
If you use the one-time payment option, please contact OEC member associates at (405) 321-2024.
Qualifying accounts may be granted a deferred payment plan, but you must request this PRIOR to the cut-off date. This payment plan includes the current balance and will be required to be paid in full before another deferred payment plan may be initiated.
You may ask for postponement of cut-off due to a life threatening situation if a permanent member of your household is dependent upon electric powered equipment which has been prescribed by a physician and is required to sustain that person’s life. This request must be made and documented PRIOR to the cut-off date.
If you are dissatisfied with any decision or payment plan offered by OEC, you may submit a written detail of the matter to OEC’s Issue Resolution Committee for review. Forms are available at the OEC office or online.
There will be a $100 charge for each trip made in collecting the bill and a $100 fee if the service is disconnected. OEC does not reconnect after business hours or on weekends.
OEC members are cooperative owners, and each account represents a membership with associated assets, such as a membership fee, patronage capital, and possibly a deposit. Because of such assets, paperwork, signatures and possible legal documents are required. Please contact a Member Service Rep at 405-321-2024 for the required paperwork.
The service availability fee pays for some of OEC’s fixed costs, including distribution and generation capacity, line maintenance and system improvements, and costs for billing, member services and administration. In order for OEC members to be charged an equitable rate no matter what rate class they belong to, such as residential, commercial or industrial, the cooperative must recover a portion of its fixed costs through the service availability fee. The fee is designed to ensure that one rate class does not subsidize another class and that all members pay their fair share of the cooperative’s costs.
You can find your account number on your bill in two places. The billing stub has the account number and the portion of the bill you keep has it as well. Your bill has a large box made up of smaller boxes. The account number is in the very top left hand corner of that box. It is near the top crease where the bill folds.
OEC’s On-Peak Summer Rate is in effect June 1 through Aug 31. That means the price of electricity will be higher between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. on weekdays in June, July and August.
If you have any questions that are not answered above, please contact member services at (405) 321-2024.
