Ouroboros Energy Corporate Power Supply Contracts
The corporate power supply contract is not a technology in the traditional sense — it is the legal and economic framework through which Ouroboros Energy controls power distribution in GLMZ and every other city where they operate. Each city block's governing corponation signs a 30-year Power Supply Agreement with Ouroboros that specifies delivery capacity, pricing tiers, reliability guarantees, and the consequences of contract breach. These contracts are the most consequential legal documents in corporate sovereignty, because without power, sovereignty is meaningless.
The standard contract gives Ouroboros exclusive power supply rights to the block, prohibiting the governing corponation from installing independent generation capacity above 5% of the block's total demand (enough for emergency backup, not enough for independence). In exchange, Ouroboros guarantees 99.97% uptime — a promise they almost always keep, because their reputation depends on it. Pricing is tiered: baseline power is relatively affordable, but demand above contracted capacity is priced at punitive rates that make unexpected growth extremely expensive. The contract's most controversial clause is the Dispute Resolution Provision, which gives Ouroboros the right to reduce power delivery to baseline levels during any active contract dispute — a provision that has been invoked 14 times in GLMZ and that effectively gives Ouroboros veto power over any action by a block's governing corponation that Ouroboros considers a contract violation.
Negotiating these contracts is a specialized legal discipline. Every major corponation employs energy contract attorneys who spend their careers analyzing Ouroboros's contract language for exploitable ambiguities. Ouroboros, in turn, employs an even larger legal team that drafts contracts designed to be unambiguous in Ouroboros's favor. The 30-year term means that decisions made by one generation of corporate leadership bind the next, and the penalty for early termination — full payment of remaining contract value plus a 200% infrastructure recovery surcharge — makes escape effectively impossible for all but the wealthiest corponations.

| social impact | Ouroboros's power contracts are the invisible architecture of corporate sovereignty. Every decision a block's governing corponation makes is constrained by its power contract — expansion plans require contract amendments, disputes with neighbors must consider power supply implications, and any conflict with Ouroboros itself is handicapped by the other side's ability to dim the lights. The contracts have been called 'energy feudalism' by critics who note that the 30-year terms, exclusive supply rights, and punitive termination clauses create a dependency relationship that looks remarkably like vassalage. Ouroboros prefers the term 'partnership.' |
