（央视财经《天下财经》）在24日发表的国情咨文中，美国总统特朗普表示，他将要求科技公司自行解 决高能耗数据中心用电问题，避免影响普通民众用电价格。据美国媒体25日报道，有官员证实，多家科 技巨头将在下周签署相关文件。 一位白宫官员表示，亚马逊、谷歌、Meta、微软等科技巨头高管将在3月4日参加与特朗普的会议并签 署承诺文件，这些企业将通过购买或自建发电设施等方式，满足新建AI数据中心的用电需求，确保普 通美国人的用电价格不会随着整体需求提升而增加。特朗普曾在2024年竞选期间承诺，将在上任后18个 月之内实现电价减半。但受交通领域电气化程度提升、数据中心与工业运营用电需求激增等多重因素影 响，从去年1月到12月，美国居民用电平均价格不降反升，由每千瓦时15.94美分涨至17.24美分，涨幅约 为8%，明显高于整体通胀率。有统计显示，美国接下来计划建设的数据中心约为680个，其中部分超大 型数据中心的耗电量足以供数百万个家庭日常使用。 不过也有分析认为，目前电力成本上涨的主要压力来自输电、配电等环节，而不是发电；即使科技巨头 自备发电设施，能源价格能否降低也存在许多变数。例如，这些公司依然要依赖电网来输送或获取 ...
