Anthropic Buys Power for AI Data Centres in $3.4B Deal, FT Says
Anthropic PBC has agreed to pay $3.4 billion for gas-fired generators for data centers, the FT reported, in what it described as the largest known single purchase of power-generation equipment by an AI lab.
The company bought commitments for 1.7 gigawatts of heavy-duty generators from San Antonio-based equipment supplier OnePWR Solutions in late September, without acquiring the company itself, according to the newspaper. Anthropic initially planned to buy power from OnePWR before instead taking over its Caterpillar Inc. generator orders, it added.
