OpenAI’s Campus Compact Covers Power Costs but Leaves Enforcement Unclear

OpenAI’s new compact commits the company to paying campus electricity bills and related grid expenses at sites under its ownership and operation, while leaving independent verification and remedies unspecified. OpenAI released its National Community Compact on Thursday, Nov. 5. It applies to future compute campuses under the company’s ownership and operation, with a local point of contact and a public progress update promised for every site each year. Other commitments include water plans, public construction plans, disclosures of each campus’s water and electricity use, and independent noise assessments before operations start and annually after. Before major spending begins, OpenAI says it will provide financial assurances meant to protect other customers if a project is later delayed, reduced or canceled.
