Below: who signed, and which sites have site-specific evidence. Read the pledge →

Signatory roster
From the White House roster.
Tracked sites
Sites announced after their operator signed, plus earlier sites with later reporting that confirms the pledge applies.
Announced after the operator signed. Not yet assessed.
Announced before the operator signed. Covered by the company's national pledge only.
Companies that have not signed. Shown for comparison; some publish their own ratepayer commitments.
Assessments are editorial judgments. A site without a site-specific commitment has not failed; the company has not published one for it.
Moratoriums
Local, state, and federal pauses on new data centers, including the ones that failed.
Concerns cited
How many moratoriums cite each concern.

Status, duration, and the concerns each one cites.
| Jurisdiction | Type | Status | Duration | Key Reasons |

Large-load tariffs
How utilities are pricing power for data centers, checked against the 17 rate-design elements in the DOE / Berkeley Lab brief “Electricity Rate Designs for Large Loads” (Jan 2025) ↗.
Rate-design elements
How many tariffs include each element. Muted elements appear in none.
Tariff directory
Each tariff, rate class, and rule, with how many of the 17 elements it includes.
| Utility | State | Tariff | Status | Min load | LBL elements |
|---|
Rate cases
Where regulators decide who pays: rate cases, special contracts, and rulemakings. Pending cases show their next step. Federal cases are marked FED.
Curated, not exhaustive. Many states have no data-center tariff yet. “LBL elements” measures coverage, not quality. One federal FERC co-location case (badged FED) is included because the LBL brief covers co-location. It is left out of the state counts.
Policy playbook
Nine rules states, cities, and companies are writing for data centers, and where each one has been adopted, proposed, or turned down.
