U.S. utilities and data centre companies have committed to charging electricity to residents

According to the Wall Street Journal, the largest United States utility company and data centre developer have signed a “user-charge protection” commitment by United States President Trump to cover additional costs for running the new electricity requirements of the AI model in order to alleviate external concerns about AI's driving electricity prices up. Nearly 200 institutions, including Nextera Energy, Duke Energy, Equinix and Digital Reality, have joined the initiative. White House officials indicated that Trump was expected to officially announce the commitments at the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) event on Thursday, and that Republican governors such as Jeff Landry, Governor of Louisiana, and Brian Camp, Governor of Georgia, had signed and planned to attend。
