Ratepayer Protection Pledge Proclamation

President Donald J. Trump issued the Ratepayer Protection Pledge Proclamation to ensure that the expansion of data centers and the increased electricity demand from AI do not lead to higher energy costs for American households. The proclamation mandates that leading U.S. hyperscalers and AI companies cover the full cost of the energy and infrastructure needed for their data centers, preventing these costs from being passed on to consumers. These companies are required to negotiate new rate structures with utilities and state governments, pay for infrastructure upgrades, and invest in local communities. This initiative aims to protect American ratepayers, enhance grid reliability, and maintain U.S. leadership in technological innovation.
