OpenAI Publishes National Community Compact: Pays Full Campus Power Costs, No NDAs With Officials, Public Impact Reporting

On November 5 OpenAI published a National Community Compact for U.S. compute campuses it owns and operates: no NDAs with public officials except narrow security carve-outs, public construction and impact reporting (noise, water, energy), Ratepayer Protection Pledge to pay full electricity and incremental grid costs with stranded-asset assurances, Grid Protector peak curtailment (up to 1,000 MW in Effingham, Georgia), and community investments already listed at $80M in Effingham and $40M in Pike County, Ohio. A PDF of the Compact is on openai.com.

Key Takeaways

On November 5 OpenAI published a National Community Compact as the baseline for campuses it owns and operates
It pledges no NDAs with public officials (narrow carve-outs) and public reporting on noise, water, energy and sustainability
Ratepayer Protection Pledge: OpenAI pays full campus power and incremental grid costs, with assurances against stranded assets
Grid Protector continues: up to 1,000 MW peak demand response at Effingham, Georgia
Community investments cited: $80M Effingham and $40M Pike County; each campus still gets a local Compact

OpenAI Launches Grid Protectors Program: Future Compute Campuses Will Cut Power When Grids Are Strained, Starting With Up to 1,000 MW in Georgia

On November 2, OpenAI announced the Grid Protectors Program on its official blog: working with utilities and regulators so its future self-built compute campuses (its new term for data centers) cut electricity use when the grid is strained, while paying the full infrastructure and electric-service costs. The pilot is the planned campus in Effingham County, Georgia (Project Camellia), which Georgia Power says needs about 3,200 MW and commits up to 1,000 MW of flexible demand response, equal per OpenAI to the average use of roughly 700,000 households. The campus is still in development.

Key Takeaways

The Effingham campus (Project Camellia) needs about 3,200 MW, and Georgia Power can cut up to 1,000 MW of supply to it during peaks under a 25-year agreement (Georgia Power figures).
OpenAI says 1,000 MW equals the average demand of roughly 700,000 households, more than Washington, D.C., and Boston combined.
Georgia Power projects about $950 million a year in customer savings from 2029 from its large-load portfolio including this project, at least $15 a month for a typical home.
OpenAI commits to paying the full grid infrastructure and electric-service costs; terms for other campuses will be shared once finalized.
OpenAI cites a projection that U.S. data center capacity will exceed 100 GW by 2030.
