OpenAI sets power rules for campuses it owns

On Nov. 5, 2026 OpenAI published a National Community Compact and a Compute Campus Policy Blueprint. For every future compute campus it owns and operates, OpenAI says it will pay the full cost of electricity and serving infrastructure, publish site-level water and electricity use, and limit nondisclosure agreements with public officials to narrow security and trade-secret terms. The blueprint asks governments to require similar rules, and the post does not extend the cost commitment to campuses OpenAI does not own and operate.
