OpenAI 表示，其未来的数据中心将在当地电网过载时降低用电量，并将从佐治亚州开始。
这项名为 Grid Protectors 的计划推出之际，当地对数据中心的反对声浪正日益高涨。
根据首份协议，在热浪等用电需求高峰期间，Georgia Power 可将 OpenAI 计划在埃芬汉县建设的园区的用电量削减最多 1,000 兆瓦。
这些电力届时仍可供家庭使用；据该公司估算，足以满足约 700,000 户家庭的平均用电需求。
即使削减幅度达到上限，该数据中心仍将消耗约 2,200 兆瓦的电力，因为削减量仅占其约 3,200 兆瓦需求中的 1,000 兆瓦。
OpenAI 认为，一个用电量大且稳定的客户有利于其他所有用户，因为这能让电力线路的固定成本分摊到更多售电量上。

OpenAI says its future data centers will draw less power whenever local grids are overloaded, starting in Georgia. The program, called Grid Protectors, arrives as local opposition to data centers grows. Under the first deal, Georgia Power can cut up to 1,000MW from the OpenAI’s planned Effingham County campus during demand peaks like heat waves. That power then stays available for homes, enough by the company’s estimate for the average demand of about 700,000 households. Even at full cutback, the data center would still draw about 2,200MW, since the cut covers only 1,000MW of its roughly 3,200MW need. OpenAI argues that a big, steady customer helps everyone else, because it spreads the fixed cost of power lines across more sales.
