Anthropic strikes $3.4 billion deal for gas-fired generators to power data centres
Anthropic has agreed to purchase commitments for 1.7 gigawatts of gas-fired power generators for $3.4 billion from OnePWR Solutions, marking the largest known power equipment purchase by an artificial intelligence lab.
Anthropic has agreed to pay $3.4 billion to secure gas-fired power generators for its artificial intelligence data centres, according to a report by the Financial Times. The deal covers commitments for 1.7 gigawatts of heavy-duty equipment purchased in late September from OnePWR Solutions, a San Antonio, Texas-based supplier.[1][2][6][7][12][13]
The transaction marks the largest known single purchase of power-generation equipment by an AI lab as electricity demand surges across the tech sector. By taking over OnePWR's existing turbine orders, the maker of Claude bypassed traditional providers and skipped an estimated six-year waitlist for generator equipment.[3][5][8][9][10][11]
The aggressive move to lock down electricity supply comes alongside substantial infrastructure planning ahead of an anticipated public listing. Anthropic's initial public offering filing indicates nearly $900 billion in computing and infrastructure commitments running through 2045.[4][9]

AI spending isn’t SLOWING DOWN. 🔥 The Claude maker struck a massive $3.4 BILLION deal to power its data centers, FT reports. Anthropic took over existing orders for 1.7 GW of gas-fired generators, bypassing traditional power providers as surging demand makes the equipment harder to get. The deal is the LARGEST known single purchase of power-generation equipment by an AI lab. Anthropic’s IPO filing shows nearly $900 BILLION in computing and infrastructure commitments through 2045. The IPO could come as early as the week of Nov. 16, though no date yet is confirmed. Anthropic’s IPO valuation could show how much Wall Street is willing to pay for AI growth, a key insight for the broader dwindling AI trade.
