Opposition and litigation at this site
Nothing on record as of September 10, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over IREN Woods County Campus in Alva, Woods County, Oklahoma appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.

Notes on the record
~2,000-acre land bank near Alva, Woods County, with a secured 1.6 GW power allocation on the Southwest Power Pool grid; initial power ramp scheduled for 2028. IREN's land-bank expansion beyond its operational Texas campuses (Childress, Sweetwater). Single-tracker source → confidence reported. Coordinates are the Alva area centroid. Capacity re-sourced 2026-08-08: IREN's own Oklahoma page states "1,600 MW", "2,000 Acres" and "2028 Substation Energization", status "IN DEVELOPMENT", replacing an aggregator listing as the basis for the figure. Public-reception check (2026-09-10): Checked baxtel.com's project profile (2026-09-10) -- it covers only technical/permitting facts (2,000-acre site on the SPP grid) plus one unrelated statewide article (Oklahoma's data-center ratepayer-protection bill, 2026-05-16). No hearing, resident reaction, or local-official statement specific to the Woods County/Alva site was found in this source.
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.
- Cooling method and water use
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- Permanent jobs promised
- How the community has received it
Which document closes each gap
- Cooling method and water use
- The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
- 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.
- How the community has received it
- Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.
