Coronavirus (COVID-19) Updates: June 8, 2020
As we have responded to COVID-19, we have been ever-focused on our members’ needs. We have worked hard to ensure that you have access to reliable electricity without fear of financial hardship. As we move forward, we will be resuming disconnects in July. Please note that we are extending flexibility in our payment arrangement policies during this time, and our friendly member service associates are ready to help you every way we can.
Custom, Flexible Payment Arrangements
We have worked hard to ensure that you have access to reliable electricity without fear of financial hardship. We want to partner with you today and every day.
- You can make custom payment arrangements by phone or on SmartHub for any past due or current bills. We will continue to be flexible as we navigate this season.
- You can still make payments via the SmartHub mobile app, online at www.okcoop.org or at one of the dozens of PaySite kiosks located throughout our service area, as well as the payment drop-off in our drive-thru lane at 242 24th Avenue NW in Norman.
- If you have outstanding debt due to this COVID-19 pandemic, you can apply (if you are eligible) for assistance at www.okdhslive.org (note that you will need an official cut-off letter from OEC so please contact us at (405)321-2024). We will continue to be very flexible as we craft payment arrangements.
