OpenAI joins PORTS-Pike data center project in Ohio with SB Energy and NVIDIA

OpenAI has agreed to use capacity at the PORTS-Pike Technology Data Center in Pike County, Ohio, alongside SB Energy, NVIDIA, and the U.S. Department of Energy. SB Energy will pay the full cost of grid upgrades and transmission lines, and the project uses closed-loop, air-cooled systems expected to use significantly less water than the historical Portsmouth gaseous diffusion plant.
