Covering electricity price increases from our data centers

Anthropic, an AI infrastructure company, is committed to mitigating the effects of electricity price increases caused by its data centers in the U.S., as it anticipates a significant demand for power due to the growth of AI technologies. The company plans to fully cover the costs of grid infrastructure upgrades required for connecting its data centers, ensuring these expenses are not passed on to consumers. Additionally, Anthropic aims to bring new power generation online to match its data centers' energy needs and will invest in systems to reduce grid strain during peak demand. The company is also focused on community investments, creating jobs, and minimizing environmental impacts. While taking these measures, Anthropic acknowledges the necessity for broader systemic changes in energy policy and supports federal efforts to expedite energy infrastructure development. These initiatives are part of its ongoing commitment to addressing the impact of data centers on energy costs, with more updates to follow as their work progresses.
