Anthropic buys $3.4B in gas generators from OnePWR instead of renting power
Anthropic has acquired roughly $3.4 billion worth of gas-fired generators from San Antonio supplier OnePWR Solutions, enough to produce 1.7 gigawatts, after abandoning an earlier plan to simply rent power capacity, according to the Financial Times. The deal, signed in late September, also transferred the engineering and installation work for the equipment, though Anthropic did not acquire OnePWR itself or its staff. The generators were originally ordered from Caterpillar about two years ago, meaning deliveries can begin soon and continue over the next two years.
