Background & analysis
On the 16th of this month, Canadian energy company EverWind announced a combined investment program in Nova Scotia totaling more than CAD 10 billion. More than CAD 8 billion of that is earmarked for a data center campus, with the remaining CAD 2 billion allocated to wind power projects. EverWind said the Point Tupper data center campus in Nova Scotia is expected to come online in 2027 with an initial 95MW, followed by a further 325MW in 2028, bringing total capacity to 420MW.
EverWind also said it has reached a long-term lease agreement with a leading frontier AI developer for the first phase of the Point Tupper campus, but did not name the company in its announcement. According to Reuters, the unnamed company is Anthropic. If confirmed, this would be Anthropic's first data center agreement in Canada.
Public information currently stops there: EverWind has disclosed the investment size, the campus phases and the expected online dates, while Anthropic's involvement comes from Reuters' reporting rather than an official statement by EverWind. The reports did not mention the value of the agreement or the length of the lease.
