OpenAI launches Grid Protectors, pledging to cut campus power demand when the grid is under strain, starting with up to 1 GW in Georgia
What changed
OpenAI says its Grid Protectors Program will set up arrangements with utilities for its future compute campuses to reduce electricity demand during grid emergencies, and where possible supply power from on-site generation or storage and use batteries to smooth demand. Its planned Effingham County campus in Georgia is the pilot: OpenAI says it will pay the full infrastructure and electric-service costs, and its agreement with Georgia Power includes up to 1,000 MW of flexible demand response. Arrangements at other sites will differ and have not yet been published (company announcement).
