Ratepayer Protection Pledge Proclamation
This Presidential Proclamation formally recognizes the Ratepayer Protection Pledge, dated March 4, 2026, which secures commitments from seven leading technology companies (hyperscalers and AI firms) to finance the full cost of new electricity generation resources and power delivery infrastructure required for their expanding data centers.
The core purpose of the action is to safeguard American households from increased electricity costs resulting from the escalating energy demands of data centers and artificial intelligence development, while simultaneously bolstering U.S. economic and technological leadership by ensuring this infrastructure growth occurs domestically.
This document presents a list of nominations sent to the Senate by the President, specifically naming Kevin Warsh, of Florida, for reappointment as Chairman and as a Member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System for specific terms.
It serves as a public record of these high-level personnel actions originating from the White House.
