Extra-large new load, addressed via a new dedicated rate class is addressed through OG&E's proposed Extra Large Power and Light (XLPL) Tariff, filed June 17, 2026, and, for AEP's Oklahoma subsidiary, new special terms and conditions in its existing Large Power and Light (Large Load Tariff) for new large-load customers.

Oklahoma at a glance: industrial power about 6.8¢/kWh (EIA-based, indexed to April 2026) · grid queue about 28 months · data center equipment tax exemption: paused. Indicative figures from the SCR AI Build Configurator v1.4.0.

Weighing Oklahoma against another state or a Canadian province with a different rate and interconnection picture entirely? Run both sides of the comparison through our licensed AI data center cost configurator — it applies each jurisdiction's actual power rate, tax treatment and large-load tariff rules to the same seven build configurations.

OG&E’s XLPL tariff targets very large loads specifically — for a smaller-scale comparison, our crypto data center in the Comox Valley shows what the economics look like well below that threshold.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is OG&E's Extra Large Power and Light (XLPL) Tariff?

Extra-large new load, addressed via a new dedicated rate class is addressed through OG&E's proposed Extra Large Power and Light (XLPL) Tariff, filed June 17, 2026, and, for AEP's Oklahoma subsidiary, new special terms and conditions in its existing Large Power and Light (Large Load Tariff) for new large-load customers.

Why did Oklahoma Gas & Electric (OGE) / Public Service Company of Oklahoma (AEP) introduce this large-load structure?

To ensure the cost of new generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure built to serve very large customers, chiefly hyperscale data centers, is paid for by those customers rather than spread across the general rate base of residential and small commercial ratepayers.

What large data center projects are already active in Oklahoma?

OG&E is serving a $9 billion planned Google investment across data center complexes in Muskogee and Payne Counties, ramping to roughly 1,000 MW by 2031 and 1,200 MW by 2036 — with OG&E estimating residential customer benefits of about $6.84/month once the load is fully ramped.

Does this tariff replace Oklahoma's standard commercial and industrial rates?

No. OG&E's Extra Large Power and Light (XLPL) Tariff sits above Oklahoma Gas & Electric (OGE) / Public Service Company of Oklahoma (AEP)'s standard commercial and industrial rate schedules and applies specifically to customers that meet or exceed the large-load threshold described above. Smaller commercial and industrial loads continue to be billed under existing rate schedules.

How can I model a Oklahoma data center build against this tariff and other states?

The SCR AI Build Configurator applies Oklahoma's power cost, tax treatment and large-load tariff rules alongside all other US states and Canadian provinces, so a Oklahoma scenario can be compared line-by-line against any alternative site.
