When it actually started The IREN / Emerald ProjectCo data center, Pittsburg County, Oklahoma · the dated record from the first land contract to the tabled vote

1. The earliest date on any instrument in the land assembly is 26 November 2024: Black Mountain Energy Storage II, LLC’s purchase agreement for Kiowa ground from a Weaver family trust is dated effective that day. It had been amended twice by 23 January 2025. The memorandum recording it was signed in April 2025 and recorded in May. Nothing on the county’s agenda mentions the project for another year.⁵⁰
2. IREN’s balance sheet at 30 June 2025 already carried security deposits “for expansion projects in British Columbia, Canada, Oklahoma, USA and West Texas, USA.” The company said so in November. Its annual report, filed in August, does not contain the word Oklahoma.¹²
3. Emerald ProjectCo Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on 29 July 2025. The next day, 30 July, Black Mountain Energy Storage wrote to the City of McAlester asking for six million gallons of raw water a day to cool a “proposed data center south of Kiowa.” That letter names no company; it is signed for Black Mountain Energy Storage II, LLC, which assigned the land to Emerald ProjectCo that October. The council voted to negotiate on 12 August.⁶⁷⁸
4. Between October and December 2025 IREN bought land purchase options and a 1,600 MW connection right from PSO in Oklahoma for $112.0 million, $105.1 million of it for the power. That is on its books before the county’s committee had met.³⁵
5. The county’s first public word is an agenda item posted on 7 November 2025: a resolution to appoint members to “the Iren Data Center TID-TIF Committee.” The Board postponed it three times, once because “the names are needed by December 1st,” and adopted it on 1 December.^11121314
6. The committee first met on 8 December 2025 with the county’s outside counsel on the phone and six IREN representatives in the room. Asked about attorney fees, IREN’s representative said “Iren would reimburse for the all expenses” [sic]. Emerald ProjectCo qualified to do business in Oklahoma eight days later.¹⁶⁶
7. On 17 December IREN told the committee this is “their first project outside of Texas.” On 3 February 2026 the land was “under option o[r] purchase” and the ask was “85% abatement or reimbursement, whatever the taxing entities prefer.” On 2 March IREN had “closed on the 1st property.” IREN’s first public announcement of an Oklahoma campus came on 5 February, between those meetings.^1719204
8. The first meeting a member of the public attended was the sixth, on 7 April 2026. Asked whether any non-disclosure agreement was in place, PSO’s representative said “PSO may have one.” The motion to recommend the plan died for lack of a second; two weeks later it passed unanimously.²¹²²
9. The public hearings were on 8 and 22 June 2026. By then IREN had been on the ground for a year, the county’s counsel had been drafting for four months, and the state had passed a law requiring data-center developers to notify county commissioners within sixty days of buying land. It took effect on 1 July, after the land here had changed hands. The terms on which any data center above 75 MW buys power from PSO are being settled in a rate case the Commission hears on 1 October 2026; whether IREN’s 2025 contract falls under them is not on the record.^3338242710

Company lines come from IREN’s SEC filings and the state registries. County lines come from the agendas and minutes the county posts, and quote them as written. City lines come from McAlester’s council packets and reporting on them. Nothing below rests on anything the author was told privately, because the author was told nothing.

Read down the “Who” column and the shape is plain. The company and its utility moved first, in private, through 2025. The county’s process began in November with a committee whose members’ names were “needed by December 1st,” and ran for four months before a resident sat in. The public hearings, the only step the statute requires the public be invited to, came last.

These are absences in the posted record, not accusations. Each one is a document that should exist somewhere, and the Open Records Act is the way to ask for it.

• Who first called whomNothing on the county’s posted record precedes the 7 November 2025 agenda. By then the first purchase agreement for the ground had been in effect for more than eleven months: it is dated effective 26 November 2024, with four more dated by June 2025, IREN had deposits down by June, and the developer was asking McAlester for water by July. The correspondence that brought the project to the courthouse is not on the file.¹⁷²⁹
• The engagement of counselDavid Floyd appears at the committee’s first meeting, and IREN’s representative says the company will reimburse the county’s expenses. No agenda item engaging Floyd & Driver, approving a fee, or accepting the reimbursement appears in the Board agendas read for this page, May 2025 to July 2026. The county did take this step in the open once. On 17 August 2026 it engaged Hammons Hamby & Price by numbered agenda item, on a recorded 3–0 vote, with the engagement letter and the hourly rate attached to the minutes for anyone to read. That is what the record looks like when counsel is retained in public, and it is the measure against which the earlier silence is described here.^16295253
• Who created the committeeThe resolutions on the record appoint members. The document that constituted the committee, set its name, and produced the “list of 7 recommended names” is not posted.¹⁴¹⁶
• The questions and the answersCounsel’s written information request of December 2025 and the developer’s responses presented on 3 February 2026 are described in the minutes and published nowhere.¹⁷¹⁹
• The draftsA draft Project Plan and a draft Economic Development Agreement were reviewed on 2 March 2026; the Tax Incentive Agreement, the document with the numbers, has never been posted in any version.²⁰²²
• 27 January 2026A meeting was noticed. No minutes are posted.¹⁸
• Non-disclosure agreementsAsked on 7 April, PSO’s representative said the utility “may have one.” IREN said in June it signs none with government bodies. Whether any county official or committee member signed one is not on the record either way.²¹²⁵
• The Childress tripFour committee members toured IREN’s Texas campus before the vote. Who arranged it, who paid, and what was shown is not recorded beyond Rhyne’s summary.²²
• The landClosed. The county’s record says only that the developer “closed on the 1st property,” and the acreage and price once came from a reporter reading the index. The deeds themselves have now been bought from the County Clerk — 38 instruments, 206 pages, in two orders — and are published in full. What they show is set out on the ground section: the first purchase agreement is dated effective 26 November 2024, the documentary stamps put the purchases at about $91.8 million, and $22.1 million of that was spent after the Board tabled the districts.⁵⁰²⁰¹⁰
• What the State knew, and whenThe Commissioners of the Land Office executed two oil and gas leases to Black Mountain on 29 September 2025 and took $273,210 for them. A state agency was therefore dealing with this developer over this ground six weeks before the county first put the project on an agenda. Whether the Land Office knew what the land was for, whether the leases were competitively bid, and what its file says about the transaction are not on any record read for this page. It is a public body and has not yet been asked.⁵⁰
• Sections 15, 21, 22 and 28Black Mountain mortgaged 68 tracts there to First Financial Bank for $6,000,000 on 6 April 2026, and bought two of them the same day for about $8.1 million. None of that ground is in the six sections the Project Plan covers, and no document read for this page says what it is for — whether a second phase, a transmission route, a buffer, or something unconnected. The instruments name no purpose.⁵⁰
• Who at the county was “working with” the developerOn 12 August 2025 Black Mountain’s director told the McAlester council she “had been working with Pittsburg County, KEDDO, the Town of Kiowa and the City of McAlester.” Every county agenda from January 2024 to November 2025 was read for this page: no item, no closed session and no resolution mentions the project before 7 November 2025, and the Town of Kiowa’s posted agendas from September 2025 never mention it at all. Whoever was working with her did so off the agenda. The county’s one recorded action on a data-center power project in the period is the Atoka Energy Park commitment of 14 July 2025, which Commissioner Selman explained to the Board. Selman also holds the county’s seat on the Executive Committee of KEDDO, the seven-county development district in Wilburton, whose posted agendas for 2025 and 2026 carry no data-center item. KEDDO is a public body and has its own file.^4445464849
• Which power contract governsThe Commission’s new large-load tariff applies to contracts “executed on or after July 1, 2026.” IREN told its shareholders it bought its PSO connection right between October and December 2025, and in August that PSO “has submitted a proposed rate for this rate class.” Whether the Kiowa campus falls under the new tariff’s 15-year term, collateral and exit fee, or under the older Large Power and Light terms, is stated nowhere on the public record.³⁵³³
• Executive sessionsFor the record, none. The Board’s executive sessions in the autumn of 2025 were all personnel matters under 25 O.S. § 307(B)(1). The project was not discussed behind closed doors, so far as the agendas show; it simply was not discussed in public either.²⁹

Ten weeks before the committee found the investment would not occur without the tax districts, IREN’s co-chief executive was telling investors that the Oklahoma power was secured — the company having paid $105.1 million for the 1,600 MW connection right the previous quarter. The filings above carry that. The company’s own plainer account of it, in public posts by its staff, is collected on a separate page, kept off this one deliberately: posts are self-published, not filed, and every date on this timeline is pinned to a filing. Read them as corroboration, not as record.

IREN approached this site, not the other way round. On 10 September 2026 the company’s community engagement manager wrote offering to connect the author with its development team. Five messages passed that day and all five are set out below in full, in order, with the times they were sent and received. Every message either way from here is added to this section on the day it arrives — including any that are unwelcome to the case made on this site.

Two things are held back, and both are said rather than done quietly. The telephone numbers in Ms Russell’s signature are withheld: she is an employee who wrote courteously in her professional capacity, and a direct number is not a public fact about a public body. The link to the questions is withheld for now — the page exists and anyone given the address can read it, as the message of 12:56 p.m. says in terms, but it is not linked from this site’s navigation while the company has the first opportunity to answer. It will be linked here when that changes, and the questions themselves are not secret: what was asked is set out on the page and summarised in the messages below.

A note on the signature blocks. The mobile number in Ms Russell’s first message and the one in her second are different numbers. The first is an Oklahoma area code; the second is a north Texas one, the region of IREN’s Childress campus. Both are withheld here. This is recorded only because the number was withheld the first time and a reader would otherwise have no way of knowing there had been two — it is an observation about a signature block, not a finding about anybody, and the ordinary explanations are the likely ones: a second device, a company line replacing a personal one, or an updated template. No inference is drawn from it and none should be.

Nothing further has been asked of the company beyond the questions sent at 12:56 p.m. on 10 September. Answers will appear against the question they answer, with the date received.

Numbered markers link here. Markers beginning with C point into the register on the Childress vs. Kiowa comparison. County documents are scanned images without a text layer; they were read page by page. Copies of the committee’s agendas and minutes, of the sixteen Corporation Commission filings that matter for Kiowa, and of the McAlester letters and minutes, are mirrored on this site in case the originals move, with the original linked beside each.

    The 75 MW threshold; separate large-load tariffs with a minimum ten-year term; the requirement that a developer notify adjoining landowners, county commissioners and the Corporation Commission within sixty days of acquiring land. The enrolled bill carries two commencement provisions that do not agree: Section 8 sets the act to take effect 1 July 2026, and Section 9 declares an emergency making it effective “from and after its passage and approval.” This page uses 1 July, the date Section 8 states and the date IREN’s own annual report gives. Nothing here turns on the difference: the Oklahoma land was acquired between October and December 2025, before either date.

    PSO counts 50% of a load with a signed letter of agreement and 80% of one with a signed contract; staff witness Mossburg’s testimony that the need is driven by eleven customers, that a data center costs about $12 million per MW, and that the AI build-out may be a bubble; staff witness Purvis’s recommendation of a large-load tariff or Commission-approved special contracts; the judge’s finding that the need is “predominantly based upon large load customers whose projects could potentially fail to come to fruition,” her recommendations to approve the wind contracts and the Kiamichi purchase and to deny the three battery purchases and NE 5&6, and her call for large-load customers to “pay their fair share.”

Both messages are reproduced in full in the correspondence section above — a corporate outreach about a public matter, from a named officer writing in her professional capacity, is quoted rather than summarised, because a summary is where a reader loses the ability to judge for themselves.

That this is the only action on the project in the county’s posted minutes after 22 June rests on a full-text read of all 240 minutes documents the county has posted for 24 March 2025 to 8 September 2026 — 93 sets of Commissioners’ minutes, all five of the TID Review Committee’s, and those of seven other county boards, about 2.2 million words. The county’s own site search matches filenames only, so it cannot find any of this. The register runs back further than the period read, and nothing here is a claim about minutes before 24 March 2025.

The letter is addressed to the Board but its salutation reads “Dear Mr. Smith” — an unedited template line, noted only because the county executed the document as drawn.
