谷歌、微软、Meta、甲骨文、xAI、OpenAI和亚马逊预计将于周三下午签署《用户保护承诺》,福克斯新闻数字版获悉。
白宫表示,该承诺将要求这些公司同意”建设、引进或购买新一代资源,并承担数据中心所需的所有电力输送基础设施升级的成本”。
特朗普政府一直推动人工智能的普及,以保持美国作为全球科技领导者的地位,这包括新建数据中心,以及日益担忧普通美国人的能源价格可能上涨。该承诺旨在应对这些担忧,保护美国人免受电价飙升的影响。

该承诺还将要求各公司承诺不将费用转嫁给美国家庭。
它还承诺各公司从其建设和运营数据中心的社区内部招聘和培训人才,这将创造数千个就业机会并提高劳动力技能。
“[特朗普总统]的用户保护承诺将为美国人民提供更实惠、可靠和安全的能源,并帮助遏制上届政府期间开始的电价上涨,”能源部长克里斯·赖特在活动前表示。”这项计划将加强美国的能源主导地位,同时确保美国在人工智能竞赛中获胜。”

赖特补充道:”我们将继续与科技领袖合作,加强美国的竞争优势,同时为勤劳的家庭保持低成本能源。”
总统科技政策助理、白宫科学技术政策办公室主任迈克尔·克拉西奥斯表示,特朗普”继续确保美国在人工智能领域领先世界,同时加强电网并降低美国家庭的能源成本”。

至于科技公司,亚马逊网络服务首席执行官马特·加曼表示,他们签署该承诺是”为了加强我们全额支付能源成本的承诺,并确保我们的数据中心不会增加消费者的电费”。
“我们欢迎政府在这一问题上发挥领导作用,并支持承诺中的各项承诺,这些承诺确立了保护用户的明确基准,同时建立负责任的长期能源伙伴关系,以加强电网和数据中心运营所在的社区,”他说。

微软副主席兼总裁布拉德·史密斯也对该承诺表示赞赏,称其为”重要一步”,Meta总裁兼副主席迪娜·鲍威尔·麦考密克表示,该承诺”确保家庭不会为人工智能的能源消耗买单”。
麦考密克表示,该承诺”为像Meta这样的公司提供了我们保持发展势头所需的确定性,确保美国的人工智能主导地位和美国家庭的繁荣齐头并进”。
谷歌母公司Alphabet的露丝·波拉特表示,该承诺确认了公司”长期以来保护美国家庭能源可负担性的承诺,加速实现确保美国能源未来的突破,并提供能源基础设施——所有这些对于在这个创新时代保持美国的全球领导地位都至关重要”。

总统在2月份的国情咨文演讲中宣布了《用户保护承诺》。
“今晚,我很高兴地宣布,我已谈判达成新的用户保护承诺,”他说。”你们知道这是什么吗?我们告诉主要科技公司,他们有义务满足自身的电力需求。”
“我们的电网很老旧,”他说。”它永远无法处理所需的大量电力。所以我告诉他们,他们可以建造自己的发电厂。他们将生产自己的电力,这将确保公司获得电力的能力,同时降低你们的电价。”

人工智能竞赛使美国与中国在科技领先地位上展开竞争,自2025年1月以来,特朗普政府加大了不让美国向亚洲国家让步的努力。得克萨斯州、路易斯安那州和宾夕法尼亚州是数据中心园区扩建和人工智能增长的几个州。

白宫一位官员此前告诉福克斯数字新闻,总统和政府一直在推进这一举措,包括特朗普1月份在Truth Social上发布相关问题。
在中期选举季临近之际,用户负担能力问题仍然是选民最关心的问题之一。在2025年中期选举周期中,只有少数几个选区的民主党候选人以降低普通美国人成本的承诺为竞选纲领,这在选举夜被证明是一个获胜策略。

特朗普一直坚决反驳民主党人对用户负担能力的推广,指出拜登政府期间的高通胀是自由政策导致美国人钱包缩水的证据。

President Donald Trump will host executives of major tech companies at the White House Wednesday afternoon to sign a pledge ensuring the tech giants protect Americans against higher electricity bills tied to data center power demand.
Google, Microsoft, Meta, Oracle, xAI, OpenAI and Amazon are expected to sign the Ratepayer Protection Pledge Wednesday afternoon, Fox News Digital learned.
The pledge will have the companies agreeing to “build, bring, or buy new generation resources and cover the cost of all power delivery infrastructure upgrades required for data centers,” the White House said.
The Trump administration has promoted the proliferation of artificial intelligence to keep the U.S. as the world’s tech leader, which has included the creation of new data centers and mounting concern energy prices could increase for everyday Americans. The pledge works to combat these concerns and protect Americans against spiking electricity bills.

The pledge will also have the companies vow against passing expenses to American households.
It also commits companies to hiring and training talent from within communities where they build and operate data centers, which will create thousands of jobs and enhance workforce skills.
“[President Trump]’s ratepayer protection pledge will deliver more affordable, reliable, and secure energy for the American people and help stop the rising electricity prices that started during the previous administration,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright said ahead of the event. “This plan will strengthen American energy dominance, while also ensuring the United States wins the AI race.”

Wright added: “We will continue partnering with technology leaders to strengthen America’s competitive edge, while keeping energy costs low for hardworking families.”
Michael Kratsios, assistant to the president and director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy said Trump “continues to ensure the U.S. leads the world in AI while strengthening the grid and driving down energy costs for American families.”

As for the tech companies, Matt Garman, chief executive officer of Amazon web services, said they are signing the pledge “to reinforce our commitment to paying our full energy costs and ensuring our data centers do not increase electricity bills for consumers.”
“We welcome the Administration’s leadership on this issue and support the pledge’s commitments, which establish a clear baseline to protect ratepayers while enabling responsible, long-term energy partnerships that strengthen the grid and the communities where data centers operate,” he said.

Microsoft vice chair and president Brad Smith also touted the pledge, calling it an “important step,” with Meta president and vice chair Dina Powell McCormick saying the pledge “ensures families aren’t the ones footing the bill for AI’s energy consumption.”
McCormick said the pledge “gives companies like Meta the certainty we need to keep up the momentum, ensuring that American AI dominance and the prosperity of American families go hand-in-hand.”
And Ruth Porat of Alphabet and Google said the pledge affirms the company’s “long-held commitment to protect energy affordability for American households, accelerate breakthroughs to secure America’s energy future, and deliver energy infrastructure – all of which are critical to maintaining America’s global leadership in this era of innovation.”

“Building the infrastructure to advance AI is vital for America’s economic competitiveness and for ensuring the benefits of AI reach everyone,” OpenAI chief operating officer Brad Lightcap said. “As demand for AI continues to grow, we believe the infrastructure that enables AI should benefit the communities that make it possible, and that’s why we’re proud to support the White House’s Ratepayer Protection Pledge.”
The White House said the pledge will contribute to “lower electricity costs, stronger grid infrastructure, and enhanced grid resilience during emergencies.”

The president announced the Ratepayer Protection Pledge during his State of the Union address in February.
“Tonight, I’m pleased to announce that I have negotiated the new ratepayer protection pledge,” he said. “You know what that is? We’re telling the major tech companies that they have the obligation to provide for their own power needs.”
“We have an old grid,” he said. “It could never handle the kind of numbers, the amount of electricity that’s needed. So I’m telling them, they can build their own plant. They’re going to produce their own electricity. It will ensure the company’s ability to get electricity, while at the same time, lowering prices of electricity for you.”

The AI race has pitted the U.S. against China as tech leader, with the Trump administration amplifying efforts to not cede ground to the Asian nation since January 2025. Texas, Louisiana and Pennsylvania are among states seeing expanded data center campuses and AI growth.

A White House official previously told Fox Digital that the president and administration have been working on the initiative for a while, including Trump posting about the issue on Truth Social in January.
The pledge comes as affordability concerns continue to be a top issue for voters heading into the midterm election season. Democratic candidates in just a handful of races in the off-year 2025 cycle campaigned on promises of lowering costs for everyday Americans, which proved to be a winning strategy on election night.

Trump has consistently pushed back on Democrats promoting affordability, pointing to sky-high inflation under the Biden administration as evidence that liberal policies have left Americans’ pocketbooks with less cash.
