Arkansas Oklahoma Gas (AOG), a subsidiary of Summit Utilities, Inc., won $18 million in a civil lawsuit against BP Energy Company (BP) that the company says will reduce natural gas costs for its customers.

AOG filed a lawsuit against BP for breach of contract after it had failed to deliver natural gas supply in February 2021 during Winter Storm Uri, which resulted in increased gas costs for customers. The Federal District Court ruled that BP must pay AOG $18 million in damages, plus interest and certain litigation costs.

“This is a victory for all our AOG customers and will reduce the amount of Winter Storm Uri costs collected from customers,” said Hallie Gilman, executive vice president & chief legal officer for Summit Utilities. “I am proud of the hard work our team put forward taking on this challenge. We deeply care for our customers’ best interests and are pleased with this win.”
