Anthropic is negotiating to lease a hyperscale data centre campus near Edmonton powered by a dedicated 920MW gas plant
Anthropic is negotiating to lease a hyperscale AI campus in Sturgeon County near Edmonton, developed by Calgary-based Beacon Data Centers with four data halls. A dedicated 920MW gas plant approved by Alberta's Utilities Commission on October 23 would power it, with construction due this quarter and service in late 2027. The scale matters because it would be roughly double the power of Anthropic's 420MW Nova Scotia site, underscoring how fast frontier labs are locking up energy for AI compute.
