05:56 AM EDT, 08/27/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Southern's (SO) Georgia Power unit's contract to serve Microsoft-backed (MSFT) OpenAI's new project in Effingham County has been approved by the Georgia Public Service Commission, the company said Thursday. The agreement includes 3,200 megawatts of new demand, with OpenAI covering the full cost of the required infrastructure, while incremental revenue from new large-load customers is expected to generate approximately $950 million in annual savings. The utility expects savings for the typical residential customer to increase to $180 per year, or $15 per month, beginning in 2029, it added. Southern and Microsoft shares were down 1.7% and 1% respectively, in premarket activity.

US President Trump has publicly endorsed the construction of data centers and warned that slowing down AI infrastructure development would allow other countries to surpass the US. However, due to electoral pressures, many within the Republican Party have turned against these projects, with legislators in multiple states halting related initiatives. So far, dozens of data center projects across the country have been suspended due to local opposition, involving investments of approximately $150 billions.
