Anthropic agreed to pay $3.4 billion for gas-fired generators to power data centers, according to a Financial Times report that unusual_whales (@unusual_whales) shared on November 8. The Next Web relayed the details: 1.7 gigawatts of large generators, in a deal signed in late September with OnePWR Solutions of San Antonio, Texas.
OnePWR had ordered the generators from Caterpillar about two years ago but needed money to finish the purchase, the FT reported, so Anthropic took over the orders. CNBC also reported on the deal and the wider push to secure power for AI data centers.
Both companies declined to comment, and where the generators will be used is not known.
