- The nation’s largest utilities and developers of data centers have signed on to President Trump’s pledge to pay more for the electricity needed to run artificial-intelligence models, hoping to quell a backlash that has fueled protests and political proposals to halt the AI boom, the Wall Street Journal reported.
- NextEra Energy (NEE), Duke Energy (DUK), Equinix (EQIX) and Digital Realty (DLR) are among the nearly 200 entities committing to the president’s promise aimed at ensuring AI’s energy consumption doesn’t push up electric bills for consumers across the U.S., according to a White House list of signatories obtained by WSJ.
- Trump is expected to announce the new commitments at a Thursday event at the Environmental Protection Agency, a White House official said. Republican governors, including Louisiana’s Jeff Landry and Georgia’s Brian Kemp also signed the pledge and are expected to attend, the report added.
