The proposed site would feature four data halls powered by a 920 MW natural gas plant, which received regulatory approval on October 23. Construction of the power plant is expected to begin in Q4 2026, with operations targeted for Q4 2027. The potential deal comes just two weeks after Anthropic signed a 20-year lease for a separate 420 MW data center project in Nova Scotia.

Talks remain ongoing, and no agreement has been announced.
