Overview
- Each Stargate campus will adopt a locally tailored community plan shaped by resident input and local concerns.
- OpenAI says measures may include fully funded dedicated power and storage or paying for new generation and transmission where required.
- The company commits that operations will not raise electricity prices for nearby communities and will coordinate with utilities to act as flexible loads during peak demand.
- Plans also prioritize minimizing water use through low-water or closed-loop cooling and include protections for local ecosystems.
- The update refines the $500 billion Stargate buildout backed by Oracle and follows Microsoft’s recent commitments to cover utility costs and reduce water consumption at U.S. data centers.
