** Shares of some U.S. utilities fall premarket
** Reuters reports governors from U.S. states will visit the White House on Friday to sign an agreement with the Trump administration intended to curb rising electricity costs
** Agreement includes price caps for two years on future auctions in the PJM grid and forcing new data center operators like Amazon AMZN.O and Google GOOGL.O to take on a greater share of the cost of expanding the grid
** Talen Energy TLN.O dips 8.6%, Constellation Energy CEG.O and Vistra VST.N down between 4.2% and 4.6%
** Analysts at Jefferies say the move is not a surprise but would be a clear negative shock to power investors
** There is "net risk to incumbent power CEG, TLN, VST, & Capital Power CPX.TO on new supply" - Jefferies
** However brokerage adds GE Vernova GEV.N, NRG Energy NRG.N, PPL Corp PPL.N, NextEra Energy NEE.N are well positioned to benefit from the agreement
