Provider notes
Energy. IREN representative Jason Date told KJRH the campus would draw power from PSO.
Water. IREN says water would come from the City of Kiowa, with the possibility of hauling water in from outside the county or state if needed, and states it is "confident it would not use excess water quantities." Residents at the April 2026 hearings cited a ~5 million gallons/day operating figure as a concern; that figure is a community claim, not an operator-reported number.
Community. Residents raised concerns over electricity costs, water use, noise, property values, pre-existing oil leases and grid reliability; two public meetings were scheduled at Kiowa High School in May 2026.
What the source record says
Proposed 2,000-acre campus along U.S. Highway 69 just south of Kiowa in Pittsburg County, with an alternative siting roughly 8 miles south in Atoka County also under consideration; both sides of Highway 69 are in play. Coordinates are the town of Kiowa, not a parcel-confirmed footprint. This is a DIFFERENT IREN site from the already-tracked IREN Woods County campus in northwest Oklahoma. Capacity and investment figures circulating in secondary coverage were not stated in the two sources read here, so they are deliberately omitted.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
Status history supplied by the source
- 2026-04-21 · source-reported proposed
Pittsburg County Tax Incentive District review committee voted to advance an economic development plan tied to the project to the participating taxing entities.
Sources and attribution
These sources are listed for the whole row. Unless a figure links to its own source, the provider does not mark which one gave it, so a figure may not appear in every source.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
