Possibly not, and Oklahoma is the state where that is most likely to be true. Because there is no minimum investment figure attached to the exemption here, no rule is pushing developers towards enormous tracts the way it does in Kansas or Texas. What decides it is whether the site can be powered and built.
Almost entirely. This concerns the surface, not what is beneath it. There is no royalty, no production, and no pooling. A surface arrangement does not convey your minerals, and if you have severed mineral interests that is a point to put to your own attorney rather than to us.
No, and it can help. Wind development brought transmission with it, and transmission is the thing that matters most. What it does mean is that the existing lease has to be read closely to see what it permits, so raise it in the first conversation rather than later.
Oklahoma Gas and Electric covers the centre, Public Service Company of Oklahoma the northeast and parts of the south, the Grand River Dam Authority a stretch of the northeast, and cooperatives a great deal of the rural ground. Whoever it is owns the connection, which is why we ask. Your bill names them.
Yes, particularly if your land is near the state line and you have heard how things work in Texas. Oklahoma is in the Southwest Power Pool, which has its own interconnection process, its own queue, and its own timescales. Advice about ERCOT does not transfer.
Do not sign and do not treat a deadline in the letter as real. Establish whether they are buying for themselves or for somebody unnamed. Have an Oklahoma attorney read it before you agree to anything, which applies to a letter from us exactly as much as from anyone else.
Frequently nothing. Plenty of arrangements involve a portion of a property while the rest carries on as before. Raise it in the first conversation rather than assuming, and we would rather you did.
Tell us about your property. There is no cost and no obligation. If it does not fit, we will tell you plainly.
These take about two minutes. Skip anything you do not know. Guessing is fine.
Thank you. We will review the property and come back to you with a plain answer either way, including if it does not fit.
