New Tinker electrical peaking plant enables energy resilience

The Oklahoma Gas & Electric Tinker Power Plant outside Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, stands ready to begin power generation following a ribbon-cutting ceremony Feb. 19, 2026. The plant will be able to grow with Tinker, allowing additional generation units to be added as needs change. This will be essential as Tinker AFB grows its KC-46A tanker maintenance campus and begins construction on the bomber campus that will be home to B-52 modernization workloads and the sole depot maintenance facility for the upcoming sixth generation bomber, the B-21 Raider.
