Supply vs demand
EIA-860M generator inventory · projects pipeline
1.8 GW of new generation came online in Oklahoma over the last 18 months; another 1.6 GW is in the EIA-860M pipeline (under construction or filed); 479 MW is on the books to retire over the next 36. Meanwhile 900 MW of data-center load is in construction or permitted in the state. Largest plant in the supply pipeline: Comanche (Ok) (Comanche County) — 1.3 GW of natural gas, first online 2029-09. On the way out: Grec — 479 MW of coal, retiring 2026-06.
Two bars, one scale. Demand is sorted by certainty — under construction first, then permitted, then proposed. The dashed rule marks where the supply pipeline runs out; everything to the right of it is demand on file with no supply filed against it.

OPPOSE · 2026-02
“The goal is not to halt progress, but to ensure that progress does not come at the expense of Oklahomans' quality of life or their utility costs. I just don't understand my Republican Party on this one.”
