According to The Star's report on the agreement, Anthropic will secure computing space at the Point Tupper facility for at least 20 years, covering the first 95 MW phase. The lease value has not been disclosed, and EverWind plans to build and own the facility. EverWind has announced more than C$10 billion for the campus and accompanying wind power projects, which it describes as the largest privately funded investment in Nova Scotia's history. The first phase is targeted for late 2027, and the campus is slated to reach 420 MW in 2028. The source material does not describe the site's power supply or cooling water use, the two cost areas that matter most to nearby residents and the environment.

Anthropic spent $7.33 billion on computing and infrastructure last year, roughly triple its 2024 outlay. The multi-decade lease converts part of that spending into a fixed obligation ahead of a US initial public offering that could value the company above $2 trillion.
