"At OpenAI, we're committed to being good neighbors in every community where we build, and that includes paying our own way on energy so our operations don't raise electricity bills for local residents. We're also working with partners to support a modern grid that operates efficiently, reliably, and flexibly."
Big tech hyperscalers including Amazon, xAI, Oracle, Microsoft, Meta, Google, and OpenAI are signing President Trump's Ratepayer Protection Pledge to address rising electricity costs from artificial intelligence operations.

The administration aims to leverage the data center boom to benefit American households and businesses while addressing affordability concerns. Industry leaders recognize the need to modernize the electrical grid as AI and emerging technologies increase power system demands. Signatories acknowledge higher energy costs associated with AI compute and commit to supporting efficient, reliable grid operations.
