On March 4 (local time), representatives from seven of the United States' foremost technology behemoths—Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, Amazon, Meta, xAI, and Oracle—convened at the White House to formalize their commitment by signing pertinent documents. President Trump emphasized that this initiative aims to alleviate the concerns of the American populace regarding the escalating electricity consumption driven by data centers, which, in turn, is contributing to rising electricity costs. According to forecasts by the International Energy Agency, the global electricity demand attributed to data centers is projected to more than double by 2030, reaching an estimated 945 terawatt-hours. Reports further highlight that, amidst this burgeoning demand, the expansion ambitions of the U.S. artificial intelligence sector may encounter significant hurdles, primarily due to bottlenecks in power infrastructure, including a scarcity of turbines and sluggish progress in grid expansion efforts.
