OpenAI, in a letter to Governor Abbott, stated it is ready to work with Texas on the responsible development of AI infrastructure. The company committed to paying its own way so that project-driven infrastructure costs are not shifted onto residential or small-business customers. OpenAI will work with utilities, ERCOT, and partners to support new power generation for a reliable grid. It also pledged to minimize water consumption and prioritize efficient cooling technologies, including closed-loop systems. The company will prioritize host communities by managing local impacts like noise, light, traffic, land use, setbacks, and emergency response, and will seek to build lasting local partnerships. OpenAI supports transparency and accountability.
