OpenAI launches Grid Protectors plan for flexible campus electricity demand
The US infrastructure initiative starts in Georgia, not a new ChatGPT feature.
OpenAI announced Grid Protectors on November 2: future campuses would reduce demand during grid strain. Its developing Effingham campus agreement includes up to 1,000 MW of flexible demand response. These are plans, not proven operation or guaranteed bill savings. Local arrangements and implementation timing remain uncertain; we did not test them.
