Democrats just won control of Georgia Power’s regulator for the first time in 30 years — and its OpenAI data center contract was entirely redacted | Fortune

Democrats won control of Georgia’s Public Service Commission, the regulator overseeing Georgia Power, for the first time in 30 years. The shift follows a campaign focused on the utility’s contract with OpenAI for data center power, whose terms were entirely redacted from public view. Georgia Power, a Southern Company subsidiary, has seen demand surge from AI data centers, and the newly elected commissioners are expected to push for greater transparency and scrutiny of such agreements. Watch for the commission’s first votes on data center tariffs and whether the OpenAI contract is unredacted or reopened.
