U.S. President Donald Trump expands the 'ratepayer protection pledge' to include states, utility companies, and data center developers. He claims that the pledge will help electricity costs go down, even as PJM Interconnect, the largest grid operator in the U.S., increased power costs by 75.5% and slapped Maryland with a $2-billion bill for infrastructure upgrades.
