President Donald Trump’s administration wants technology companies to commit to a new compact concerning AI data centers, Politico reported on Monday, citing two administration officials.
The draft compact sets out commitments to make sure data centers do not raise household electricity prices, strain water supplies or undermine the energy grid, according to the report.
It also lays out that companies driving demand should carry the cost of new infrastructure.
Politico said the proposed agreement could be subject to change.
