OGE's Long-Term Growth Supported by Robust Capex & Renewable Expansion
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
OGE Energy is expanding its renewable portfolio with wind, solar and voluntary customer programs.
The company plans $6.50B in capital spending from 2025-2029 to boost grid safety and reliability.
Supply-chain issues and higher fuel and power costs pose risks to OGE Energy's project timelines.
OGE Energy Corp.’s (OGE - Free Report) ongoing capital investments, focused carbon-reduction initiatives and a robust renewable generation portfolio collectively position it for stronger long-term performance. These efforts are expected to enhance grid reliability, support cleaner operations and drive sustainable growth across its service territory.
However, this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company faces risks related to supply-chain disruption.
Factors Acting in Favor of OGE
OGE Energy continues to expand its renewable portfolio to capture incentives tied to large clean-energy investments. The company currently operates several wind farms totaling nearly 450 MW and multiple solar sites with 32.2 MW of capacity (as of Dec. 31, 2024). It also offers voluntary renewable programs for Oklahoma retail customers and plans to keep adding zero-emission resources to strengthen its clean-energy footprint.
OGE Energy is pursuing an aggressive investment strategy to upgrade its infrastructure and provide seamless services to its customers. The company plans to spend $6.50 billion between 2025 and 2029. The figure rose 4% from its prior five-year capital expenditure plan of $6.25 billion. With these capital investments, the company aims to maintain and improve the safety, resiliency and reliability of its distribution and transmission grid and generation fleet.
Backed by such a solid investment strategy, the company expects long-term earnings growth of 5-7%. Apart from bolstering customer growth, valuable returns from such investment strategies should also enable OGE Energy to continue to reward its shareholders through steady dividend hikes.
Challenges Faced by OGE
In recent times, factors like raw material inflation, logistical challenges and certain component shortages have resulted in supply-chain disruption within the utility market. These have also resulted in supply-chain disruption and may continue to cause delays in construction activities and equipment deliveries related to OGE Energy’s capital projects.
Moreover, rising electricity production costs due to increased fuel prices, inflation and shortage of components also pose a risk for electricity manufacturers like OGE Energy. The company’s fuel, purchased power and transmission expenses surged 11% year over year in the third quarter of 2025.
OGE’s Share Price Performance
In the past year, shares of the company have risen 2.8% compared with the industry’s 18.9% growth.
Ameren’s long-term (three to five years) earnings growth rate is 8.52%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AEE’s 2025 EPS implies an improvement of 8% from that recorded in 2024.
CNP’s long-term earnings growth rate is 8.86%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CNP’s 2025 EPS implies an improvement of 9.3% from that recorded in 2024.
POR’s long-term earnings growth rate is 3.39%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for POR’s 2025 EPS implies an improvement of 2.6% from that recorded in 2024.
