Anthropic Signs First Canadian Data Center Lease to Support Operation of Claude AI Models

Anthropic has signed a 20-year data center lease with Canadian firm EverWind Fuels to support the operation of its Claude artificial intelligence models. This marks Anthropic's first data center agreement in Canada, covering the initial 95-megawatt facility at the Point Tupper site in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The financial value of the lease has not been disclosed. The first phase of the project is scheduled to enter operation in late 2027, with a planned 325-megawatt expansion set for 2028. The total planned capacity of the entire site will reach 420 megawatts, and subsequent expansions remain subject to commercial, technical and regulatory conditions.
