OG&E Strikes Deal to Power Three New Google Data Centers in Oklahoma

State regulators will review an approval request that assigns grid and capacity costs to Google.

Overview

  • OG&E announced Thursday an agreement with Google to power three data centers planned for Muskogee and Stillwater.
  • Google will pay all grid hookup costs and every contracted charge for service, even if its energy use changes.
  • The company will make capacity from two new solar projects available to OG&E, building on prior solar power purchase deals in Stephens and Muskogee Counties.
  • OG&E will file Electric Service Agreements and Capacity Purchase Agreements with the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, the state utility regulator, for approval.
  • Company statements say the plan supports local economic growth and grid reliability while shielding current customers from higher bills.
