March 4 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump is set to meet on Wednesday with leaders of major technology companies, including Google, Meta and OpenAI, to formalize a pledge aimed at protecting consumers from rising electricity costs tied to the rapid expansion of energy‑intensive data centers.
The White House has said the so‑called "Ratepayer Protection Pledge," announced by Trump in his State of the Union Address, would see tech firms commit to measures designed to ensure the boom in artificial intelligence infrastructure does not translate into higher utility bills for households and small businesses.
