Artificial intelligence company Anthropic has signed a long-term lease for data center capacity at EverWind Fuels' project in Point Tupper, Nova Scotia, marking its first data center agreement in Canada. The deal is part of EverWind's plan to invest over C$10 billion in the data center campus and wind power projects, which it calls the largest privately funded investment in the province's history.
