Anthropic is shelling out $3.4B to lock down 1.7 GW of gas generators from OnePWR Solutions, the Financial Times reported. This marks the biggest (known) purchase of generation equipment from an AI lab—and offers clear evidence that quick power comes with a pricey premium.
LS Power is paying NRG Energy $4B to acquire six natural gas plants across TX, NY, RI, and CT, which represent nearly 5 GW of capacity. The switcheroo: NRG bought several of these very plants from LS Power last year.
