Anthropic in the U.S. Plans to Spend $3.4 Billion to Procure 1.7 GW of Gas-Fired Power Generation Equipment

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On November 8, U.S. artificial intelligence company Anthropic reached a transaction arrangement of approximately $3.4 billion with Texas-based energy equipment company OnePWR Solutions at the end of September, involving a commitment to purchase natural gas generator sets with a total capacity of 1.7 GW, as well as related engineering design, construction, and installation capabilities. The transaction involves the construction of supporting power facilities for Anthropic's artificial intelligence data centers.

Under the transaction arrangement, Anthropic takes over the Caterpillar natural gas generator set purchase order previously held by OnePWR Solutions and obtains the corresponding equipment procurement rights. The two parties initially discussed OnePWR supplying power to Anthropic, and subsequently adjusted the cooperation model to a commitment to purchase power generation equipment and the transfer of related engineering resources.

The transaction also involves the engineering design, construction, and equipment installation capabilities configured by OnePWR Solutions for the relevant gas-fired power generation facilities. The scope of the transaction covers the procurement of generator sets and subsequent engineering implementation resources, and the relevant equipment will be used for Anthropic's data center power supply project.
