Public statements, contracts, press releases, or funding commitments from named technology companies confirming they will fund the described generation capacity and specifying amounts/terms.
The Department of the Interior press release and a DOE fact sheet state that a “coalition of leading technology companies has committed to funding this new generation capacity” and say the plan would make data centers pay for new plants. Multiple major news outlets (CNN, TechCrunch, Bloomberg, Reuters) report the administration’s proposal urging PJM to hold a 15‑year auction requiring tech firms to bid on contracts and note White House claims it is working with tech companies; however, independent reporting shows PJM had not been coordinated with, and there is no public, verifiable announcement from a named coalition of tech firms confirming a binding $15 billion funding commitment as of 2026‑01‑16. Verdict: Close — the government claims a tech coalition commitment, and the plan envisions tech companies paying for new capacity, but independent public evidence of an explicit, legally binding coalition pledge to fund the new generation capacity is not available.
