Trump earlier said he had worked out negotiations with unnamed tech companies where they would pay for their own electricity for data centers.
Tech companies so far are not confirming that they’ve agreed to this pledge.
In a statement to ABC News, Microsoft President Brad Smith called the announcement an “important step.”
“The Ratepayer Protection Pledge is an important step. We appreciate the administration’s work to ensure that data centers don’t contribute to higher electricity prices for consumers,” Brad Smith, Microsoft’s vice chair and president, said in a statement.
