Yes.
Oklahoma produced 2.9 times more energy than it consumed at 4,393.8 trillion Btu in 2023, ranking eighth in the nation in energy production.
The industrial sector accounted for 40% of energy consumption, while the residential and commercial sectors accounted for 15% and 14%, respectively.
Natural gas accounted for the vast majority of the energy produced in Oklahoma at 76%, followed by crude oil at 20% and renewable sources at 3%. Oklahoma generally produces three to four times as much natural gas as it consumes; the excess is either stored in in-state storage fields or transported interstate.
Natural gas and wind energy accounted for 50% and 41% of Oklahoma’s electricity production, respectively.
Despite an unusual rate of electricity bill increases, Oklahoma residents are protected from further increases directly caused by large data centers, per a recently passed law.
