The Trump administration is pressuring big tech to sign a public commitment to limit the impact of data center developments.

In a draft of the voluntary compact seen by Politico, companies would promise to ensure that data centers do not raise household electricity prices, put pressure on water supplies, or damage grid reliability. The companies would be expected to carry the cost of building new infrastructure to support the developments.

Alongside those measures, companies would be expected to fund AI educational awareness programs in surrounding communities and public schools, as well as follow best practices to mitigate noise and traffic to nearby residential neighborhoods.

At the same time, the federal government would commit to accelerating the interconnection of new data centers, helping speed up data center developments.

The pact is not final and could still change, with a White House official calling it “outdated and no longer accurate.”

It builds on a January call from President Donald Trump to reduce the impact of data centers on energy prices. At the time, he said Microsoft would be the first to take part.

At the time, Microsoft also said that it would minimize water usage, replenish more water than it used, and promised not to seek tax breaks.

Alongside Microsoft, the White House is in talks with OpenAI, Amazon, Google, Meta, and other tech companies about signing the public pact.

Trump is expected to announce the initiative at a White House event.
