Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 14, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over SmartTec Site 01 (Mead) in Mead, Bryan 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.

If you live near this site and something is happening that this page does not show, that is worth telling us. Send us the document and it goes in the record with the source attached. For sites where opposition is already established, see every contested site we track.

Power and water

Existing on-site transformer rated 3,000 A at 208 V three-phase, awaiting OG&E commissioning (targeted 8 October 2026). The design is battery-backed with z1power LFP storage and sub-10 ms failover, on the stated premise that grid instability is the design basis of the site.

Initial proposal is 8 Supermicro systems using direct liquid cooling. The operator does not publish a water-use figure.

Notes on the record

Very small GPU colocation site on US-70 in Bryan County: three existing buildings (A 1,500 sq ft compute, B 2,083 sq ft batteries/utilities, C 3,535 sq ft compute), ~5,035 sq ft of gross data-center area. Phase 1A is 8× HGX-class systems, 64 GPUs, ~114 kW IT load, recorded here as 0.114 MW planned. Status is 'proposed' rather than 'under_construction' because as of 2026-09-14 the operator's own schedule puts construction start ten days out. Single-source (operator self-published), so confidence is 'reported'. Coordinates are the town of Mead; the street address did not resolve in OSM.
