Microsoft commits to covering all infrastructure costs for its AI data centers to ensure that residents' electricity bills do not increase due to its energy demands. This initiative, called "Community-First AI Infrastructure," includes special utility rates to prevent the costs of grid upgrades from being passed on to residents, with Wyoming and Wisconsin cited as examples. Microsoft also pledges to fund water infrastructure projects, with additional water supplies exceeding its consumption, creating local jobs, and paying full property taxes. Meanwhile, it is estimated that by 2035, the electricity consumption of data centers in the US will double.
