The Trump administration is preparing a package of executive orders aimed at boosting energy supply to support the expansion of the artificial intelligence (AI) industry in the United States. These measures, expected to be unveiled as part of an AI Action Plan on July 23, include faster grid interconnection approvals for power projects supplying data centers, the use of federally managed land for AI infrastructure development, and streamlining regulatory processes such as those under the Clean Water Act. The initiative is part of a broader effort to accelerate U.S. AI growth amid a technological and economic competition with China. The planned executive actions are designed to address the soaring energy demands of AI data centers and facilitate the rapid scaling of AI capabilities. The administration's focus on energy infrastructure for AI has also influenced market responses, with stocks of companies like NVIDIA experiencing gains. Sources familiar with the planning have indicated that the executive orders will aim to ease power grid constraints, fast-track permits, and potentially create an energy-rich AI development frontier on public lands, which could impact rural economies.
