Ratepayer Protection Pledge Proclamation

This proclamation proclaims March 4, 2026 as the date on which seven leading U.S. hyperscalers and AI companies formally accepted the “Ratepayer Protection Pledge.” It states that those companies will ensure their data-center electricity needs do not raise household electricity costs by building, bringing, or buying new generation resources, paying for all new power-delivery infrastructure upgrades, negotiating and paying separate rates with utilities and state governments, and coordinating with grid operators while investing in local communities.
