American media reports that AI giants will sign commitments for self-sufficient power supply, and companies like Amazon and Google may also sign commitments for self-sufficient power supply.
A White House official stated that executives from tech giants such as Amazon, Google, Meta, and Microsoft will attend a meeting with Trump on March 4th and sign a commitment document. These companies will meet the electricity needs of new AI data centers through purchasing or building power facilities, ensuring that the electricity prices for ordinary Americans will not increase with overall demand. Trump had promised during his 2024 election campaign to cut electricity prices in half within 18 months after taking office. However, due to factors such as the increasing electrification in the transportation sector and the surge in electricity demand from data centers and industrial operations, from January to December last year, the average electricity price for American residents rose from 15.94 cents per kilowatt hour to 17.24 cents per kilowatt hour, an increase of approximately 8%, significantly higher than the overall inflation rate.
