OpenAI launches Grid Protectors Program, with Georgia site as pilot
What happened
On November 2, OpenAI announced a national Grid Protectors Program. Future compute campuses would cut their power demand when the grid is under strain, to help communities get reliable, affordable electricity. A planned campus in Effingham County, Georgia, will serve as the pilot. OpenAI's agreement with Georgia Power includes up to 1,000 megawatts of flexible demand response, and OpenAI commits to covering all infrastructure and power-service costs for the project. So far only the program's launch and the pilot arrangement have been disclosed.
