Anthropic buys rights to generators for data centers in $3.4B deal
At the end of September, Anthropic acquired from US-based OnePWR Solutions the rights to supply Caterpillar gas generators with a total capacity of 1.7 GW, Financial Times reports. The agreement is worth $3.4 billion and also includes engineering and construction work.
The equipment will be supplied over two years. The deal is intended to help the developer of Claude provide power for its AI infrastructure: electricity demand is growing, and generator production still faces multi-year queues.
For someone who holds or exchanges cryptocurrency, the news matters as another signal that major players in the AI sector are willing to spend significant sums on energy for their data centers.
