How the community has taken it

Reception is a sourced signal, not an editorial judgment: contested means active public debate is on record, with hearings, petitions, or organized opposition, without litigation.

Piedmont Planning Commission recommended the City Council DENY the 'Project Open Sky' PUD rezoning pending additional information. The council then postponed the vote repeatedly: on 28 September 2026 it continued the item for the fifth time in nearly five months, after a 2-2 vote on the motion to continue that the mayor broke (News 9). As of October 2026, no council approval has been reported.

Power and water

Project Open Sky is planned to use a closed-loop cooling system to greatly reduce water use.

Notes on the record

630-acre proposed data campus near the Mathewson Substation, NW 248th Street, Piedmont (Canadian/Kingfisher county line), part of a transmission corridor drawing multiple competing proposals; see the Beltline Energy Piedmont Site, a separate, distinct 321-acre site nearby, do not conflate despite both being in Piedmont. Closed-loop cooling planned. Cloverleaf recently withdrew from two Wisconsin data center projects after local opposition (context, not this project). Radio Oklahoma News, citing information provided to the city, reported that the project represents a $1 billion investment, which is the figure recorded. Job and capacity figures are not recorded because the sources give ceilings or disagree: Cloverleaf's chief development officer told the planning commission the project would create "up to 300 jobs, with potentially a thousand more during construction" (KOKH FOX 25), while Radio Oklahoma News reported "up to 500 permanent jobs" and "up to 1.4 gigawatts of electricity", and KOKH FOX 25 reported that the campus "would require 1.5 gigawatts of power".

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.

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
