OpenAI promises to pay the full cost of powering its data centers and stop using NDAs with local officials
CNBC· 5 NovCNBC reports that OpenAI published a policy blueprint and a set of commitments on Thursday for data centers it owns and operates. It says it will ask communities for input, publish construction plans, avoid non-disclosure agreements with public officials and pay the full cost of powering the sites, and it encouraged policymakers to make similar rules law. CNBC says the announcement came two days after voters in 41 local ballot measures across 10 states backed restrictions or rejected pro-development measures in all but one, according to Ballotpedia and CNBC's own results.
- If a data center is proposed near you, ask your council or utility whether the company has put its power and water commitments in writing, and where the plans are published.
- If you run a small business in a town with a new site, watch your utility's rate filings for changes that could reach your bill.
