Anthropic strikes $3.4 billion deal for gas-fired power at its data centers

Anthropic agreed in late September to pay $3.4 billion for commitments on 1.7 gigawatts of heavy-duty gas-fired generators from San Antonio-based OnePWR Solutions, the Financial Times reported, calling it the largest known single purchase of power-generation equipment by an AI lab. Anthropic took over generator orders OnePWR had placed with Caterpillar two years ago, plus the engineering and construction capacity to install them, but did not buy the company. The deal comes as Anthropic prepares for its IPO.
