About Cherokee Industrial Resilient Power
Our Commitments
Safety First
The project will be designed, permitted, and operated to meet all applicable fire and life-safety codes and standards, with safety built into every phase from design through operation.
Community Partnership
We're committed to being a good neighbor throughout every phase of this project, keeping the community informed and answering questions honestly and directly.
Responsible Development
The project will go through environmental and regulatory review at the local, state, and federal level, with the goal of minimizing impact on the surrounding community and land.
About the Project
Cherokee Industrial Resilient Power is a proposed 250 MW AC (1,000 MWh) standalone battery energy storage project on an estimated 25-acre developed footprint, in Tulsa County, Oklahoma.
The facility is expected to include battery storage containers inside a secure, fenced site designed to meet all applicable industrial safety and fire codes.
We expect to begin construction around Q4 2029 and reach commercial operation by Q4 2030, subject to permitting and interconnection timelines.

Choosing the Right Site
Choosing the right site for Cherokee Industrial Resilient Power took careful evaluation: strong access to the electric grid, suitable siting characteristics, and enough space to house the equipment safely.
Cherokee Industrial Resilient Power is located in Tulsa County, Oklahoma.
Why Choose This Site
Room for Setbacks
The site design allows ample space for setbacks, buffers, and fire-code-required spacing.
Grid Access
Site location supports the interconnection study now underway, close to existing grid infrastructure.
Small Footprint
The developed area is about 25 acres, a small share of the overall site.
