Seven Tech Giants Sign Trump's Voluntary Pledge to Shield Consumers From AI Data Center Power Costs

Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Oracle and xAI signed a White House pledge on March 4, 2026, committing to supply their own power for AI data centers and to shoulder related infrastructure costs so that surging electricity demand does not raise household utility bills. The agreement, formalized as the Ratepayer Protection Pledge Proclamation, was first previewed in President Trump's State of the Union address on February 24 and finalized at a White House signing ceremony.
