The United States' largest utility companies and data center developers have signed President Trump's "electricity rate protection" commitment, agreeing to bear additional costs for the increased power demand to operate artificial intelligence (AI) models in order to alleviate concerns about AI driving up residential electricity prices. According to the Wall Street Journal, a list obtained by the White House shows that nearly 200 organizations, including NextEra Energy, Duke Energy, Equinix, Digital Realty, etc., have joined the initiative. White House officials state that Trump is expected to officially announce the commitment at an event hosted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Thursday. Republican governors, such as Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, have also signed and plan to attend.
