OpenAI waxay ku biirtay mashruuca PORTS-Pike

OpenAI waxay heshiis ku gashay inay qiyaastii 8 gigawatt-IT ka hesho Xarunta Tiknoolajiyadda PORTS-Pike ee Pike County, Ohio, iyadoo la shaqaynaysa SB Energy, NVIDIA iyo Waaxda Tamarta ee Maraykanka. Waxaan doonaynaa inaan mashruucan u horumarinno annagoo bahwadaag la ah Pike County—bixinayna kharashaadka tamarta iyo kaabeyaasha gaarka u ah mashruuca, biyaha si masuuliyad leh u isticmaalayna, fursado u abuurayna shaqaalaha iyo ganacsiyada deegaanka, isla markaana samaynayna maalgashi muddo dheer ah oo ay bulshadu hagto.

Mashruuca waxaa la filayaa inuu muddada lixda sano ah ee dhismihiisa, ilaa 2032, abuuro 35,000 oo shaqo dhisme ah iyo 2,500 oo shaqo hawlgal oo muddada dheer ah. Waxaan sidoo kale $40 milyan gelin doonnaa sanduuq deeq bulsho oo taageera mudnaanta ay dadka deegaanku tilmaameen—iyadoo lagu sii dhisayo ballanqaadkii $40 milyan ahaa ee SB Energy hore u shaacisay. Si gaar ah, waxaan ChatGPT dhexdiisa ku bixinaynaa $84 milyan oo dhibcaha Codex ah, taasoo arday kasta oo kulliyadeed oo Ohio jooga siinaysa helitaanka tiknoolajiyadda.

Pike County waxay gacan ka geysatay tamartii kobaca warshadaha Maraykanka qarnigii 20aad; hadda, mashruucan awgii, waxay haysataa fursad kale oo ay door hoggaamineed kaga qaadato waaga cusub ee warshadaynta Maraykanka.

Waxaan doonaynaa inuu horseedo shaqooyin, koboc ganacsi iyo maalgashi ka hirgala Koonfurta Ohio oo dhan—kana caawiyo inay noqoto meel ay dhallinyaradu xirfado shaqo ka dhisan karaan, qoysas ku kori karaan, ayna dooran karaan inay sii joogaan.

Markaan bulshada qayb ka noqonno, mabaadi’dan ayaa hagi doona hawshayada:

• The project will pay its own energy and infrastructure costs. SB Energy will pay the full cost of the grid upgrades and new transmission lines needed to serve the data center. Those costs will not be shifted to Ohio or other ratepayers in the region. This investment will also strengthen the regional electricity grid and support more reliable power over time.
• The data center will recirculate water to reduce ongoing demand. The data center will use closed-loop, air-cooled cooling systems that recirculate water rather than relying on cooling towers that continuously consume water for cooling. As a result, it will use significantly less water than historically used by the Portsmouth gaseous diffusion plant. Once the data center cooling system is filled, ongoing water use is expected to be comparable to an office building supporting a similar number of people, including sinks and restrooms, equipment washdown and maintenance, and landscaping. PORTS-Pike is working with the Department of Energy to leverage their existing onsite water system. We will also fund new water infrastructure in partnership with and to the benefit of local communities. Once the site design is finalized, we will publicly report the project’s expected water use.
• The investment will create tangible benefits for Pike County and Southern Ohio. The PORTS-Pike Technology Data Center is expected to create 35,000 construction jobs during its six-year buildout through 2032, along with 2,500 long-term operating jobs. OpenAI and SB Energy will work to prioritize local workers, contractors, suppliers, trades, and service providers. Building on SB Energy’s existing $40 million community agreement, OpenAI will invest an additional $40 million, and this community investment will be shaped by local residents’ priorities such as schools, public safety, health care, utilities, workforce training, housing, veterans’ services, small businesses, and support for working families. The project is expected to generate hundreds of millions of dollars in state and local tax revenue over its lifetime. Local and state property tax revenues will primarily support public schools, while other state and local tax revenues will help fund schools, roads, public safety, emergency services, health care, workforce development, and other public priorities.
• We will invest in good jobs and workforce pathways for local residents. PORTS-Pike Campus signed a Memorandum of Understanding with North America’s Building Trades Unions to commit to the project being built. We plan to work with the Ohio State Building and Construction Trades Council and all of its affiliated crafts, local schools, colleges, apprenticeship programs, veterans’ organizations, labor partners, and workforce groups to help residents prepare for construction, technical, and operating roles. Working together, we will create good jobs and help build a larger base of skills, businesses, and opportunity that can attract additional employers and support careers across the region for years to come.
• Ohio students will receive access to tools for the next generation of work. OpenAI will make up to $84 million in credits for Codex available to approximately 844,000 eligible Ohio college, community college, and technical school students aged 18 and older during the 2026–2027 academic year. Codex is an OpenAI tool within ChatGPT that helps people build software and complete technical projects. Eligible students will receive $100 in credits through their ChatGPT accounts, giving them hands-on experience using AI to carry out complex tasks, create projects, and build practical skills for careers across engineering, manufacturing, health care, education, entrepreneurship, and the skilled trades. Together, OpenAI’s local investment and Codex credits, along with SB Energy’s community grant, represent more than $160 million in benefits for Pike County and Ohio residents.

• We will report publicly on our progress. Each year, we will publish a report covering local hiring, community investment, water use, and project-related energy use.

We will continue to meet with residents, local officials, schools, businesses, labor organizations, and community groups to help shape an Ohio Community Compact. The Compact will reflect local priorities and turn these principles into specific, public measures as the project moves forward.

There is significant work ahead, and the full data center will not be built all at once. SB Energy is developing the project across private land and remediated land controlled by the Department of Energy at the former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant. We appreciate the Trump Administration’s leadership in helping advance the redevelopment of this federal site for American AI infrastructure. This gives a site that once supported American industry and national security a new role building infrastructure for the Intelligence Era.

800-ka megawatt ee ugu horreeya waxaa la filayaa inay diyaar noqdaan 2028, iyadoo inta badan la adeegsanayo kaabeyaasha AEP ee jira. Horumarinta dheeraadka ahi waxay u baahan doontaa warshado koronto oo cusub oo ku xidhan shabakadda, oo ay ku jiraan kuwa gaaska dabiiciga ah ku shaqeeya, iyo sidoo kale khadad gudbin iyo kaabeyaal la xidhiidha oo cusub. SB Energy waxay macluumaad dheeraad ah oo mashruuca ku saabsan ku daabacday portscampus.com⁠(ku furmaa daaqad cusub).

SB Energy ayaa dhisi doonta, lahaan doonta, kana hawlgelin doonta xarunta xogta iyadoo OpenAI uga kireynaysa 20 sano, awooddana si tartiib ah u diyaarinaysa. OpenAI ayaa noqon doonta macmiilka oo adeegsan doonta awoodda goobta, taasoo si gaar ah u martigelin doonta kaabeyaasha xisaabinta AI ee NVIDIA. Waxaan awooddan qandaraas ugu galaynaa baahiyahayaga muddada dheer ee la saadaaliyey ee tababarka ugu casriyeysan iyo baahida sii kordhaysa ee alaabtayada. OpenAI waxay lacag-bixinta bilaabi doontaa oo keliya marka awood dhammaystiran la diyaariyo oo la kirayn karo, waxayna ballanqaadyadaas ku maalgelin doontaa dakhliga iyo qulqulka lacagta caddaanka ah ee ka dhasha koboca weyn ee ganacsigeenna iyo raasamaalka laga helo maalgashadayaasha. Si gaar ah, NVIDIA waxay SB Energy ku maalgelin doontaa $1.5 bilyan, waxayna taageero deyn siin doontaa dhulka, korontada iyo dhismaha qaab-dhismeedka la xidhiidha 4.25 IT-GW ee bilowga ah. Horumarintu waxay ku xirnaan doontaa in la diyaariyo kaabeyaasha lagama maarmaanka ah, rukhsadaha, qiimaynta deegaanka iyo maalgelinta.

NVIDIA iyo OpenAI waxay iska kaashanayaan naqshadaynta, tijaabinta iyo hawlgelinta xarunta xogta. Shirkaduhu waxay sidoo kale si wadajir ah u daabici doonaan warqad farsamo oo lagu wadaagayo casharrada laga bartay PORTS-Pike—oo ay ku jiraan sida naqshadaynta kaabeyaal adkaysi leh, xaqiijinta adag ee qaybaha xarunta xogta iyo maaraynta culayska shaqada ee heerka softiweerku u taageeri karaan helitaanka awood xisaabeed oo badan, isku-hallayn sare iyo muddo celcelis ahaan dheer oo u dhexaysa hakadyada marka la eego heerka kooxaha kombiyuutarrada—taasoo xarunta xogta ka dhigaysa tusaale loogu daydo naqshadaynta jiilka xiga ee kombiyuutarrada awoodda sare leh.

Waxaan filaynaa inaan awooddan u adeegsanno daboolidda baahida sii kordhaysa ee AI horumarsan iyo ilaalinta hoggaankeenna shaybaarka cilmi-baarista AI ee ugu casriyeysan, annagoo gudanayna hadafkeenna.

Xarumaha xogta sida Xarunta Xogta Tiknoolajiyadda ee PORTS-Pike waxay qayb ka yihiin aasaaska jireed ee AI. Iyagoo ay weheliyaan jibisyada, korontada iyo shabakadaha xawaaraha sare leh, waxay noo suurtageliyaan inaan horumarinno nidaamyo karti badan, kana dhigno aaladaha sida ChatGPT iyo Codex kuwo la isku hallayn karo, la awoodi karo, isla markaana ay heli karaan dad iyo ganacsiyo badan.

Hadafkeennu waa inaan xaqiijinno in caqliga macmalka guud uu anfaco aadanaha oo dhan. Mar kasta oo aan si ka wanaagsan u dhisno, dad badan ayaa AI u adeegsan kara inay wax ku bartaan, wax ku abuuraan, dhibaatooyin ku xalliyaan, ganacsiyo ku bilaabaan, kuna qabtaan shaqooyin markii hore aan la gaadhi karin.

Masuuliyaddeennu waa inaan xaqiijinno in bulshooyinka gacan ka geysanaya dhismaheedu ay si wax-ku-ool ah uga qayb helaan faa’iidooyinkaas. Waxaan rajaynaynaa inaan la shaqayno Pike County iyo guud ahaan gobolka Koonfurta Ohio, marka uu bilaabayo bogga xiga ee kaalintii muddada dheer uu ku lahaa horumarka Maraykanka.
