美国总统特朗普周四宣布扩展一项自愿承诺，旨在保护消费者免受人工智能数据中心带来的电费上涨影响。[1]该承诺已获得23位州长和至少187家企业的签署，签署方包括55家公用事业公司和27家数据中心开发商。[1]签署的主要公司包括NextEra Energy、Duke Energy、American Electric Power、Southern Co.、Pacific Gas & Electric、Equinix、Digital Realty和Prologis。[1]
特朗普最初在3月份与AI和科技公司宣布了这一承诺，现已进一步扩展。[1]他声称数据中心将产生剩余电力，从而使美国家庭的电费"实际上会下降"。[1]特朗普还对各州表态称："你们必须说服你们的社区。你们不能反抗它。你们必须顺应潮流。"[1]
然而，ICF咨询公司的分析显示了不同的前景，该分析指出电费可能在2030年前上升15%到40%。[1]白宫发言人Taylor Rogers表示，电力运营商PJM未能实施两党原则声明。[1]
President Trump announced the expansion of a voluntary commitment on Thursday to protect consumers from rising electricity bills linked to artificial intelligence data centers. [1] The pledge, initially launched in March with AI and technology companies, has now been signed by 23 governors and at least 187 companies, including 55 public utilities and 27 data center developers. [1]
Major signatories include NextEra Energy, Duke Energy, American Electric Power, Southern Co., Pacific Gas & Electric, Equinix, Digital Realty, and Prologis. [1]
Trump claimed that data centers will generate surplus electricity that will lower power costs. [1] "You have to convince your community. You can't fight it. You have to go with it," he stated, and asserted that "Electricity bills for American families will actually come down." [1]
However, analysis by ICF Consulting projects that electricity rates could rise 15 to 40 percent before 2030, contradicting the administration's outlook. [1] White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers noted that PJM, a regional grid operator, has failed to implement bipartisan principles from a recent statement. [1]
