DATA CENTERS

The Rundown: President Donald Trump says he'll force Microsoft and other tech giants to cover the soaring electricity costs of their AI data centers instead of letting those power bills hit voters’ wallets.
The details:
Trump said Americans should never pay higher electricity bills “because of data centers” and vowed to announce new measures in the coming weeks.
He singled out Microsoft as the first company expected to implement “major changes” to ensure consumers don’t “pick up the tab” for its AI network.
Analysts estimate U.S. data centers could nearly triple their share of national electricity use to around 12% by 2028.
A recent PJM grid auction attributed roughly $23B in capacity costs to data centers from 2025 to 2028 — about half the total.
Why it matters: AI data centers are driving power demand so quickly that Washington now treats electricity prices as a political flashpoint, with Trump leaning on Big Tech not to pass rising costs to voters. Yet he previously fast‑tracked data‑center hookups, leaving him both hyping the AI buildout and scrambling to contain its backlash.
