The pledge has already been signed by 23 republican governors and is in response to the increasing presence of data centers, which support artificial intelligence and other technologies, across U.S. communities. The proclamation highlights efforts to protect ratepayers from <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >potential financial impacts related<\/a> to these facilities. The event will be attended by nearly 200 stakeholders, including major utility companies and data center developers.Additional related stories and updates, including a live coverage of the pledge announcement and data about tensions involving Iran and US troops, are also featured.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> is set to make an announcement Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. on the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/releases\/2026\/03\/ratepayer-protection-pledge\/\">Ratepayer Protection Pledge<\/a>, which seeks to protect households from absorbing costs tied to <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/data-centers\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"22166\">data centers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump is expected to announce that 23 Republican governors have signed the pledge, as data centers, the facilities that power <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/artificial-intelligence\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"1658\">artificial intelligence<\/a>, appear in communities across the United States.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4661033\/watch-live-trump-ratepayer-protection-pledge-2\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>WATCH LIVE: Trump makes announcement on the Ratepayer Protection Pledge<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/energy-and-environment\/4660567\/bab-el-mandeb-strait-oil-chokepoint-iran-war\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>The Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the second oil chokepoint strained by Iran war<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4658917\/trump-threatens-iran-important-power-plants\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Trump threatened Iran\u2019s key infrastructure.
