Power and water

Aligned states its facilities employ "a closed-loop cooling system designed to minimize water use." This is the operator's general design claim, not a site-specific permit or measurement.

Notes on the record

An affiliate of Aligned Data Centers bought roughly 800 acres of rural land near Amber, northwest of Chickasha in Grady County, for more than $17 million. That $17M is the LAND purchase price only, it is not a project investment figure and is deliberately not recorded as investmentUsd. No capacity, building count or timeline has been made public. Coordinates are the town of Amber, not a parcel. This is a separate Grady County site from the tracked Chickasha Airport Industrial Park project.

What the record does not establish, and the document that would

In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.

  • Power capacity in megawatts
  • Tax abatements or other public subsidy
  • Permanent jobs promised
  • Which utility serves it
Which document closes each gap
Power capacity in megawatts
The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
Permanent jobs promised
The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
Which utility serves it
The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.
