How Many Data Centers Are in Oklahoma?
See where projects are clustered, how much power they need, and how new grid demand can affect Oklahoma electric bills.
Quick Answer
Baxtel lists 57 Oklahoma data center facilities.
Baxtel lists 57 Oklahoma facilities as of September 5, 2026. A facility listing is not necessarily a separate campus or an operating site; counts depend on how proposed projects and multi-building campuses are grouped.
Directory count checked September 5, 2026. The map retains May 27, 2026 project and resident-report locations; dated markers are not a live construction register.

The Map
Where Oklahoma's Largest Projects Cluster
Use the map to compare confirmed project clusters, utility-facing load centers, and resident-reported ZIP signals reviewed on May 27, 2026.
Dots are anchored to city, county, site, or ZIP coordinates and nudged apart in dense areas. Dashed lines point back to the original location. Red markers show resident-reported ZIP signals, not verified facility ownership.

The Grid
Where the Power Comes From
Large-load proposals require utilities to plan additional generation and transmission. A forecast is not a guaranteed shortage or an approved increase to your household bill.
In December 2025, The Frontier reported forecast gaps of 3,124 MW for PSO by 2031 and 3,459 MW for OG&E by 2035 without additional resources. These estimates use different forecast years and should not be added into a single statewide shortage. The Southwest Power Pool’s large-load process describes regional interconnection planning.
Transmission congestion can raise the cost of delivered power. Who pays for new infrastructure depends on the applicable contract, tariff and regulatory decision.
Large-load projects can require new power plants, transmission lines and substations. The household effect depends on approved tariffs and cost-allocation rules. Review the current utility-rate tracker for residential impacts.
September 2026 filing: OG&E describes its rate review as separate from the large-load tariff proceeding and says it excludes impacts from increased data-center electricity use. Follow the rate-case tracker for the residential proposal.

The Cost
What Oklahoma Gives Up
Tax incentives affect local revenue as well as project economics. Compare promised investment and jobs with the taxes collected and public services required.
In June 2022, The Frontier reported more than $239 million in property-tax exemptions and $113.9 million in income-tax credits for Google in Oklahoma. These historical figures are not a current subsidy total.
Local incentive agreements vary. Compare the actual agreement, payments in lieu of taxes, job commitments and public-service obligations before estimating a community’s benefit.
The Response
What Oklahoma Lawmakers Are Doing
Two enacted laws address large-load cost allocation and private generation. Their protections and requirements depend on the project and utility arrangement.
| Bill | What It Does | Status |
|---|---|---|
| HB 2992 | Cost-allocation protections and landowner notification for qualifying loads of 75 MW or more | Approved by governor May 2026. |
| SB 480 | Allows qualifying private industry to develop behind-the-meter power; does not require every data center to self-generate | Signed into law (May 2025) |

FAQ
How many data centers are in Oklahoma? +
Baxtel lists 57 Oklahoma facilities as of September 5, 2026. A facility listing is not necessarily a separate campus or an operating site; counts depend on how proposed projects and multi-building campuses are grouped.
Who is PSO's 1,000+ MW mystery customer? +
The customer was unnamed in the December 2025 reporting. A nearby project or power-purchase agreement does not establish its identity. IREN separately announced a 1.6 GW Oklahoma campus in February 2026, with grid studies complete and power scheduled to ramp from 2028.
How do data centers affect my electric bill? +
Large loads can require generation and transmission upgrades. Household bill impacts depend on approved tariffs, contracts and cost allocation. Oklahoma signed HB 2992 in May 2026 to establish protections for existing customers when serving qualifying loads of 75 MW or more. See the full rate increase timeline and our homeowner guide to Oklahoma data centers and electric bills.
What tax breaks do data centers get? +
In June 2022, The Frontier reported more than $239 million in property-tax exemptions and $113.9 million in income-tax credits for Google in Oklahoma. These historical figures are not a current subsidy total. Local incentive agreements vary; compare the actual agreement, payments and public-service obligations.
How does solar protect against this? +
Solar can reduce electricity purchased from the utility, but it does not prevent rate changes or eliminate fixed charges. Compare recent usage, modeled production, utility rules, project cost and stated rate assumptions.
