REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the OGE Energy Corp.
Benefits Committee:

        We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the OGE Energy Corp. Employees’ Stock Ownership and Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

        Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2004, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

OGE ENERGY CORP.
EMPLOYEES’ STOCK OWNERSHIP AND RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     Plan Description

        The OGE Energy Corp. Employees’ Stock Ownership and Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”), originally the Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company Employees’ Thrift Plan, was adopted in 1981 and became effective January 1, 1982. The Plan is a defined contribution trusteed plan. Fidelity Management Trust Company (“Fidelity”) serves as the Trustee of the Plan and is responsible for the safekeeping and investment of all contributions made to the trust in accordance with the Trust agreement between OGE Energy Corp. (the “Company”) and the Trustee. The following description of the Plan provides only general information of the Plan’s provisions. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

        By action of OGE Energy Corp.’s Board of Directors taken July 15, 1998, the Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company Employees’ Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) was merged into the Plan effective October 1, 1998. The ESOP had been frozen since 1986. Therefore, since it was frozen, no contributions have been made to the ESOP and no new participants have entered the ESOP. All participants of the ESOP are fully vested in the amounts allocated to their ESOP accounts under the Plan. The name of the surviving plan was changed to the OGE Energy Corp. Employees’ Stock Ownership and Retirement Savings Plan. The merged Plan implements a dividend pass-through program in which dividends allocable to shares of OGE Energy Corp. common stock in the ESOP are paid in cash to participants by the Trustee. Such dividends are included in distributions to participants on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits. Dividend pass-through is optional for other shares of the Company common stock held in participant accounts under the Plan.

General

        Participation in the Plan is voluntary. The Plan is administered by a committee (the “Benefits Committee”) appointed by the Benefits Oversight Committee. The Benefits Oversight Committee consists of at least two members appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).

Eligibility

        Each regular full-time employee of the Company or an affiliate is eligible to participate in the Plan immediately. All other employees of the Company or an affiliate are eligible to become participants in the Plan after completing one year of service, as defined in the Plan.

4

Contributions

        Participants may contribute each pay period any whole percentage between two percent and 19 percent of their compensation, as defined in the Plan, for that pay period. Contributions of the first six percent of compensation are called “Regular Contributions” and any contributions over six percent of compensation are called “Supplemental Contributions.” Participants may designate, at their discretion, all or any portion of their Regular and Supplemental Contributions to the Plan as a salary reduction contribution under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) subject to the limitations thereof or as a contribution made on an after-tax basis. The portion of the participant’s compensation that is contributed as a salary reduction contribution under Section 401(k) of the Code is referred to in the Plan as a “Tax-Deferred Contribution” which will not be subject to federal income tax until such portion is withdrawn or distributed from the Plan. Participant contributions to the Plan are made each pay period and participants may change contribution percentages during any pay period.

        Participants can direct that their contributions be invested in multiples of one percent in any one or all of the investment options available, including the OGE Energy Corp. Common Stock Fund which invests primarily in the Company’s common stock. Participants may change investment allocations of contributions on any business day.

        The Plan allows rollovers from other eligible retirement plans. Participants may invest their rollovers into the OGE Energy Corp. Common Stock Fund or any of the other investment options available under the Plan. Amounts rolled over cannot be withdrawn during employment.

Employer Matching Contributions

        The Company contributes to the Plan each pay period on behalf of each participant an amount equal to 50 percent of the participant’s Regular Contributions for participants whose employment or re-employment date, as defined in the Plan, occurred before February 1, 2000 and who have less than 20 years of service, as defined in the Plan, and an amount equal to 75 percent of the participant’s Regular Contributions for participants whose employment or re-employment date occurred before February 1, 2000 and who have 20 or more years of service.  For participants whose employment or re-employment date occurred on or after February 1, 2000, the Company shall contribute 100 percent of the Regular Contributions deposited during such pay period by such participant. No Company contributions are made with respect to a participant’s Supplemental Contributions or with respect to a participant’s Regular Contributions based on overtime payments, pay-in-lieu of overtime for exempt personnel, special lump-sum recognition awards and lump-sum merit awards included in compensation for determining the amount of participant contributions. The Company’s contribution which is allocated for investment to the OGE Energy Corp. Common Stock Fund may be made in shares of the Company’s common stock or in cash which is used to invest in the Company’s common stock. Company matching contribution account balances invested in the OGE Energy Corp. Common Stock Fund may be reallocated by participants at any time to other available investment options.

5

Vesting

        Participants’ Regular and Supplemental Contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable. Employees participating in the Plan on or after January 1, 2002 vest in their allocated share of Company contributions over a six-year period. After two years of service with the Company, participants become 20 percent vested in their Company contribution account and vest an additional 20 percent for each subsequent year of service. In addition, participants fully vest when they are eligible for normal or early retirement under the Company’s Retirement Plan, in the event of their termination due to death or permanent disability, or upon attainment of age 65 while employed by the Company or its affiliates.

        Forfeitures of the non-vested Company contributions resulting from termination of employment are used to reduce the Company’s contributions. During 2004, there were no material forfeitures. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, there were no material forfeited and unallocated assets. Forfeitures will be reinstated if the participant is re-employed by the Company or an affiliate thereof within five years.

Withdrawals

        During employment, participants may not withdraw Tax-Deferred Contributions and income earned thereon until attainment of age 59 ½, except in the event of financial hardship where a participant may withdraw their Tax-Deferred Contributions exclusive of earnings after 1988. Withdrawals are made in cash. Participants generally can make one withdrawal in any calendar year for no less than $300 or 100 percent of the participant’s after-tax contribution account, whichever is less. Subject to the foregoing, a withdrawal can be comprised of after-tax contributions, vested Company contributions and Tax-Deferred Contributions and any income earned thereon. Hardship withdrawals must be approved by the Benefits Committee.

Distributions

        Participants may request distribution of their vested accounts upon termination of employment with the Company and its affiliates for any reason. Distributions may be made in the form of a lump-sum payment or installment payments or a combination thereof at the participant’s election. Participants who are under age 70 ½ at termination may defer commencement of their distributions until April 1 of the year after the year in which they reach age 70 ½.

        All distributions are made in cash or in kind as the participant elects. All amounts invested in the OGE Energy Corp. Common Stock Fund, whether purchased with participant or Company contributions, may be paid in cash, in full shares of Company common stock with fractional shares being paid in cash or a combination thereof at the participant’s election. Dividends on shares of Company common stock are paid in cash to the participant based on the number of shares allocated to their account as of the ex-dividend date for such dividend. Dividends are automatically distributed in cash to participants unless otherwise requested for dividends allocable to accounts other than ESOP accounts. Any dividends not distributed in cash

6

are used to purchase additional shares of the Company common stock. These additional shares are allocated to the participants’ accounts to which they relate in the form of additional units. Participants receiving distributions or withdrawals which are eligible rollover distributions, as defined in the Plan, may elect to make rollovers to an eligible retirement plan provided such eligible retirement plan accepts direct rollovers.

        Upon termination of service for any reason, if a participant’s vested account is less than or equal to $5,000, it will automatically be distributed in a lump-sum payment to the participant as soon as administratively possible following termination.

Participant Loans

        The maximum amount that a participant may borrow is the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of the participant’s vested account balance. No amounts may be borrowed from a participant’s ESOP account. A participant may have no more than two loans outstanding at one time. The loans are secured by the participant’s vested account balance. All loans granted must be repaid pursuant to a written repayment schedule not to exceed five years and evidenced by a written promissory note signed by the borrower. Borrowed amounts do not share in the earnings and losses of the investment funds. Rather, interest payments on the loan are credited to the participant’s account in the Plan. If a participant should terminate from the Plan, any outstanding loan balance is converted to a distribution when distribution payments commence.

        The interest rate for loans, as established by the Benefits Committee, is equal to the “prime rate,” as published in the Wall Street Journal on the first business day of the month on or next preceding the date the loan is made, plus one percent. The range for interest rates was 5.0 percent to 6.0 percent for loans initiated during 2004. Interest incurred on loans during 2004 was $540,667.

Administrative Expenses

        Certain expenses of administering the Plan are expected to be paid by the participants. Participants obtaining a loan are charged $35.00 to initiate the loan and $15.00 annually for maintenance. All other administrative expenses of the Plan currently are being paid by the Company, including legal, accounting and trustee fees.

Plan Termination

        The Company intends to continue the Plan indefinitely, but reserves the right to alter, amend, modify, revoke or terminate the Plan at any time upon the direction of the Company’s Board of Directors or the Company’s Benefits Oversight Committee, as provided in the Plan. If the Plan is terminated for any reason, the interests of all affected participants will be fully vested and the Benefits Committee will direct that the participants’ account balances be distributed as provided in the Plan.  The Company has no continuing liability under the Plan after the final disposition of the assets of the Plan.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

        The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Distributions to participants are recorded when paid.

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investments

        Investments are stated at fair value. Shares of the mutual funds are valued at published market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. Common collective trusts are valued by the trustee thereof based on the fair values of the underlying investments of the trusts. Common stock is valued at published market prices. Participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximates fair value.

        Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

        The Plan invests in various investment securities.  Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks.  Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the value of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.

        On April 2, 2003, the Benefits Committee approved adding the Fidelity Low Price Stock Fund as an available investment option beginning July 1, 2003. On May 14, 2004, the Benefits Committee approved to close this fund to new investors on July 30, 2004.

        On May 14, 2004, the Benefits Committee approved adding the Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund and the Calamos Growth A Fund as available investment options, effective August 2, 2004. In April 2004, the Invesco Dynamics Fund was renamed to the AIM Dynamics Fund. In addition, the AIM Dynamics Fund was removed from the available investment options, effective December 31, 2004. Participants reallocated their funds in the AIM Dynamics Fund to other available investment options. Any funds that were not reallocated by December 31, 2004 from the AIM Dynamics Fund were transferred to the Calamos Growth A Fund as soon as possible

8

thereafter. The transfer of funds from the AIM Dynamics Fund to the Calamos Growth A Fund was completed in February 2005.

Unit Accounting

        The Plan utilizes the unit method of accounting, which allows the OGE Energy Corp. Common Stock Fund to hold a small amount of cash for liquidity purposes. The value of each unit does not vary significantly from the price of the common stock held in the fund. The common stock price is readily available to the participants and is printed in many publications. Participants may hold units of the OGE Energy Corp. Common Stock Fund representing their proportionate interest in both the common stock and cash held in the fund.

3.     Amounts Due To Participants

        As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, there were no participants that had terminated and requested a distribution who had not received payment of the distribution.

4.     Investments

        Investments of Company common stock in the OGE Energy Corp. Common Stock Fund (which includes both ESOP and other accounts) at December 31, 2004 and 2003, of $167,589,170 and $156,323,773, respectively, are stated at fair value.

        The only nonparticipant-directed investments in the Plan are held in the ESOP accounts in the OGE Energy Corp. Common Stock Fund. The OGE Energy Corp. Common Stock Fund also holds participant-directed investments. Information about the nonparticipant-directed net assets and the significant components of the changes in nonparticipant-directed net assets relating to the ESOP accounts held in the OGE Energy Corp. Common Stock Fund are as follows:

    16,817,395

 
* 2004 and 2003 includes $8,323,297 and $8,361,088, respectively, of nonparticipant-directed investments.

5.     Income Tax Status

        The Plan is a qualified plan under provisions of Section 401(a) of the Code and is exempt from federal income taxes under provisions of Section 501(a) of the Code. The Company received a favorable determination letter dated December 16, 2002 which stated that the Plan was qualified and the related trust was tax exempt. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. While the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt. Participants on whose behalf Company contributions are made are not taxed on the amounts contributed by the Company or on any income earned thereon until the receipt of a withdrawal or distribution, pursuant to the terms of the Plan. The taxation of income earned on Plan assets attributable to the participants’ contributions to the Plan is also deferred until distribution is made. The amount of income taxes applicable to the participants or their beneficiaries upon distribution is prescribed by the Code and is dependent upon the method of distribution.

6.     Related Party Transactions

        Certain Plan investments are in mutual funds and common collective trusts managed by Fidelity. Fidelity also serves as the trustee of the Plan and, therefore, Plan transactions involving these mutual funds and common collective trusts qualify as party-in-interest transactions under ERISA and the Code. Additionally, a portion of the Plan’s assets are invested in the Company’s common stock. Because the Company is the Plan sponsor, Plan transactions involving the Company’s common stock qualify as party-in-interest transactions. All of these transactions are exempt from the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA and the Code under statutory or governmental agency exemptions.

7.     Subsequent Events

        On April 15, 2005, the Benefits Oversight Committee approved changing the amount that is automatically distributed, without the participant’s consent, in a lump-sum payment following the termination of employment to an amount that is less than or equal to $1,000 effective

10

March 28, 2005. This amendment resulted from the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001. The amendment also increased the number of Benefits Committee members from seven to eight, effective May 20, 2004.

        On June 1, 2005, the Benefits Committee approved adding the American Funds EuroPacific Growth Fund (R4 Class), the AIM International Growth Fund (Class A) and the Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund (Class A) as available investment options beginning September 1, 2005.
