Lambda has signed the White House Ratepayer Protection Pledge, committing to ensure AI infrastructure delivers benefits to local communities while protecting consumers and ratepayers.
CEO Michel Combes said responsibly developed data centers can create lasting economic opportunities. Lambda explicitly supports policies requiring data center developers to pay for the power they use, backs expanding generation capacity and grid reliability, and invests in technologies to reduce local resource demands — a notable public stance by a compute provider on data centers' social costs.
