Anthropic warns in S-1 that planned data centers will rely on natural gas
In its S-1 filing ahead of a planned IPO, Anthropic discloses that some planned data centers will use electricity generated by on‑site natural gas turbines and that competition for gas, turbines, and grid capacity could raise costs, delay or force changes to projects; the filing also notes climate change may increase power and cooling expenses. The company earlier outlined a roughly $50 billion plan to expand data centers in Texas and New York and leases capacity from hyperscalers.
