Anthropic Turns Nova Scotia Wind Into a 420-Megawatt Claude Compute Rail

EverWind announced more than C$10 billion in planned private investment for a Point Tupper data-centre campus and Nova Scotia wind projects on October 16, 2026. Reuters identified the frontier AI tenant as Anthropic, while Canadian Press and Global News reported a long-term lease, a 95-megawatt first phase in late 2027, a 325-megawatt expansion, and 420 megawatts at full buildout. The project ties Claude-scale compute demand to local power, water, ratepayer, and data-sovereignty politics.
