Infrastructure

Oklahoma's infrastructure is built to support both dense urban centers and vast rural spaces.

- **Electricity:** Power is supplied by major providers like Oklahoma Gas & Electric (OG&E) and Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO), alongside rural electric cooperatives. The grid is heavily supported by wind power. - **Water & Sewer:** Municipally managed, drawing heavily from reservoirs (lakes) in the east and ground aquifers in the west. - **Telecommunications:** Urban areas enjoy competitive high-speed fiber internet and 5G cellular coverage. While rural broadband has historically lagged, major state and federal initiatives, often in partnership with tribal nations, are currently expanding fiber-optic networks to remote communities. - **Energy Logistics:** The town of Cushing is a massive, globally significant hub for crude oil storage and pricing (the delivery point for West Texas Intermediate).
