A concurrent resolution expressing the sense of Congress that the Ratepayer Protection Pledge announced on March 4, 2026, reflects sound national policy to protect ratepayers in the United States, promote electricity affordability, and ensure that all people of the United States, including households, small businesses, schools, hospitals, and farms, have access to reliable and affordable energy as artificial intelligence and data center infrastructure expands across the United States.

This concurrent resolution expresses the sense of Congress that the Ratepayer Protection Pledge signed by major technology companies on March 4, 2026, represents sound national policy. The pledge commits signatories to negotiate separate rate structures with utilities and state governments for data center infrastructure and to pay for generation and delivery infrastructure regardless of consumption, intended to prevent ordinary ratepayers from subsidizing private data center costs as AI and data center electricity demand grows. The resolution encourages federal agencies to support implementation of the pledge and calls on other technology companies to adopt equivalent commitments.
