OpenAI announced Project Camellia, a long-term data-center development planned for Effingham County near Savannah, Georgia.

The company has contracted with Georgia Power for 3.2 gigawatts of electricity. That power is expected to be delivered in phases between 2028 and 2032.

The planned capacity makes Camellia one of the largest announced AI infrastructure projects. It also highlights the scale of the capital, electricity and community requirements associated with developing frontier AI models.

The project’s name, location, contracted power capacity and delivery window are confirmed in the supplied event package. The package does not specify the project’s cost, detailed construction schedule, individual phase capacities or eventual effects on the surrounding community. Those elements therefore remain uncertain.
