OpenAI 推出 Grid Protectors 计划 承诺在电网过载时削减数据中心功耗
OpenAI 宣布启动“Grid Protectors”计划，允许公用事业公司在电网高峰时段远程削减其数据中心的电力消耗。首个协议与 Georgia Power 达成，可在需求峰值期间从 Effingham County 园区切断高达 1000MW 的负载，以优先保障居民用电。此举旨在缓解日益增长的数据中心社区反对情绪，同时维持大规模算力基础设施的稳定运行。

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.
