Georgia Power Signs 25-Year, 3,200-Megawatt Deal With OpenAI
OpenAI covers every infrastructure and electric cost at the Effingham County site, and cedes up to 1,000 megawatts back during peak demand.
- Georgia Power's 3,200 megawatt agreement with OpenAI runs 25 years, tied to Effingham County, Georgia.
- OpenAI will cede up to 1,000 megawatts on call, one of the largest such single-facility pledges nationally.
- Georgia projects residential customers save $102 a year starting in 2029, per the utility's release.
Why it matters: A promise of savings four years out costs the utility nothing today and can always be revised before it comes due.
