SoftBank-controlled SB Energy is developing the site, which previously housed a federal uranium enrichment facility in Pike County. At full buildout, the project’s costs are estimated to reach at least $500 billion, with OpenAI signing a 20-year lease. The massive scale represents OpenAI’s largest infrastructure commitment to date. The first phase of the project, delivering 800 megawatts, is expected to go live by 2028. Negotiations are currently ongoing and final plans could change. The announcement comes just as OpenAI has confidentially filed paperwork for an initial public offering (IPO), signaling its plans to go public within the next year to fund its expanding computing needs.
