OpenAI's "Project Camellia" in Georgia secures a massive 3.2-gigawatt power deal through 2032

OpenAI is planning to establish a data center in Georgia named "Project Camellia," securing a 3.2-gigawatt power deal with Georgia Power. The company has pledged $80 million to the local community and $71 million in Codex credits for students, aiming to counter growing opposition to U.S. data centers perceived as resource-intensive and lacking in job creation. This project marks a strategic move for OpenAI to strengthen its presence in the U.S. market, reflecting its commitment to engaging with local communities, which could influence the future of data centers in the region.
