Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.

Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

    Underlying source

Source notes

Four data center buildings on roughly 1,400 acres inside the 2,600-acre Savannah Gateway Industrial Hub near Rincon. Effingham County values the project at $20B; OpenAI's VP of Compute Strategy has said full build-out will exceed $30B. Permanent staffing is described as ~400 at the 2028 opening rising to about 1,000 by 2032. Part of OpenAI's Stargate program.

OpenAI contracted 3.2 GW with Georgia Power, to be delivered in phases between 2028 and 2032; the county says power generation is kept offsite and no diesel backup generators are planned post-completion.
