2.7 MGD

OGE filed Electric Service and Capacity Purchase Agreements with Oklahoma Corporation Commission. Google signed 700+ MW of new clean energy PPAs in Oklahoma (Rush Springs Solar and High Springs Solar via NextEra). OGE to power Stillwater plus two Muskogee campuses.

Planned (permitted; not yet operational): the first two buildings would use ~2.7 million gallons/day, rising toward ~8.1 MGD if all six are built (~20% of the city's daily supply), drawn from Kaw Lake (Stillwater holds 50 MGD in rights and uses ~7 MGD on average). Cooling mechanism not specified in public sources.

Public subsidies

  • 25-year ad valorem (property-tax) exemption via a PILOT agreement with Stillwater/Payne County taxing jurisdictions (Stillwater Public Schools, Meridian Technology Center, Payne County, county health dept); PILOT payments rise 1%/yr, estimated ~$58.2M over 25 years for the first two phases

Community sentiment

Contested

All local taxing jurisdictions approved the 25-year incentive agreement, but Payne County Commissioner Rhonda Markum cast the lone dissenting vote, citing water and transparency concerns (officials were required to sign NDAs before learning project details). A Park View Estates homeowners association filed a civil suit in Payne County District Court against Google's Kipper LLC and its contractors over stormwater runoff/pollution from site grading.
