The finding

What the build-out changed in Oklahoma

Oklahoma is building power faster than most states, and the jobs data shows it. Power and communication line construction jobs grew 88.0% from 2019 to 2025 (3rd of 44). Commercial electricity sales, the class that includes data centers, are +3.1% year to date, 14th in the country. Developers have announced $37.0B of data center capital in Oklahoma, 13th among the 31 states with a disclosed figure. Households pay part of the cost: residential prices are +7.8% year to date, the 22nd fastest increase of 51. Factory employment is the exception: manufacturing jobs are -0.9% against August 2019.

Local moratoria and restrictions (15) appear by county and city in the county-by-county section. Counts include every status in the weekly tracker feeds as of October 5, 2026. The Oklahoma Data Center Map page counts only active local pauses and delayed or blocked projects as of its September 2 rebuild, so its figures are lower. The difference is one of definition and date.
