Fluidstack, a data center developer based in Texas, is developing a data center campus in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma. Fluidstack is committed to transparency, local partnership, and environmental accountability.
Targeted to have the first phase operational by September 2027 and the final phase by September 2028, this development is designed to be fully compliant with recently-enacted Oklahoma law governing water and electricity usage by data centers. Fluidstack is not seeking local property tax incentives and the tax revenue generated from the development will go directly to Okmulgee County, Okmulgee Public Schools, and Green Country Technology Center.
There are many questions about data centers, and some misinformation floating out there too. We pulled all the facts together in one place to address potential concerns.
New developments bring lots of questions, and we are dedicated to earning your trust through open dialogue and visible actions. Please check back here for regular updates and information as the site develops. Feel free to reach out to us directly using the contact form below as well.
Our Commitments to Okmulgee:
The data center pays for what the data center needs
We believe that being a good neighbor means paying our fair share. Fluidstack is not seeking local property tax incentives to ensure we pay our fair share to the community. The tax revenue generated from the development will go directly to Okmulgee County, Okmulgee Public Schools, and Green Country Technology Center.
Fluidstack exclusively uses closed-loop cooling. This means we fill our cooling system with water once — about as much water as an Olympic swimming pool. Then we use that same water over and over again for years.
After filling the cooling system initially, the only water we use each day is for the people who work there — like water for the kitchens and bathrooms. That's about as much water as seven houses use in a day. Because we use a closed-loop system, the water used by the data center will have no impact on local water availability or pressure. The development is fully compliant with recent legislation (SB 259) which governs data center water use.
We have voluntarily committed to a strict 60-decibel noise limit at the property line during operations. This is the sound of a quiet conversation from several feet away. The sound level continues to drop significantly with distance from the property line. We are also voluntarily insulating the property by building berms, planting trees, and setting the buildings back as far as possible.
There are no costs from this data center’s development or operation that will impact residents. Fluidstack is paying for all of the energy and energy infrastructure needed for this data center. This is our commitment to consumers, and this is also the law. The Oklahoma Data Center Consumer Ratepayer Protection Act of 2026 ensures industrial development do not increase residential utility rates.
AEP-PSO is the energy provider for this development, and already has the necessary energy available.
Fluidstack is an American company and will exclusively serve American companies from this data center.
Fluidstack intends to hire locally whenever possible. There are jobs at data centers for a wide range of skill sets. Roles include food service workers, janitors, landscapers, electricians, HVAC technicians, server technicians, facilities maintenance staff, and site managers, among others.
