Trump set to expand power cost pledge on data centers

CNA Latest News reporting 14 sentences analyzed 2,341 captured characters

July 22 : President Donald Trump is set to unveil on Thursday a pledge backed by governors, lawmakers, utilities and data center developers aimed at shielding households from electricity costs tied to the AI boom, as he pushes to make the United States the global leader in artificial intelligence.

It extends Trump's original Ratepayer Protection Pledge from March to ensure the companies building and using data centers pay above and beyond normal rates so that costs are not passed on to average households.

Trump will be joined by Energy Secretary Chris Wright, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin, and several of the state governors who signed the original pledge, according to a White House official.

Protecting electricity customers from data center demands is no easy task, however, as the country's patchwork system of regional electric grids is already under severe strain.
