Kentucky is set to become home to a massive new artificial intelligence data center that will power Anthropic’s AI models under a deal expected to generate nearly $20 billion in revenue.<\/p>\n

TeraWulf, a Bitcoin mining company turned AI data center developer, announced Monday that Anthropic signed a 20-year lease for a “purpose-built AI infrastructure campus” at a former industrial site that TeraWulf acquired earlier this year in Hawesville, a city of about 1,000 people.<\/p>\n

The lease is expected to generate about $19 billion of contracted revenue over the initial term, according to TeraWulf, which also said the lease is “expected to be supported by an investment-grade credit.”<\/p>\n

“The Anthropic lease validates our strategy and establishes a long-duration revenue stream with one of the world’s leading AI companies,” TeraWulf CEO Paul Prager said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Prager added that the lease deal with the AI firm behind Claude “creates a framework for future expansion, and demonstrates the value of our ability to source power, develop infrastructure, and secure long-term customer commitments.”<\/p>\n

The Hawesville data center will be developed in phases. Once complete, it will have enough power capacity to support about 400 megawatts of AI computing equipment.<\/p>\n

The campus is expected to initially provide power for AI computing during the second half of 2027 before reaching its full 401-megawatt capacity by early 2028, TeraWulf said.<\/p>\n

The AI data center is being built on the 750-acre site of what was previously Century Aluminum’s smelter, which was idled in 2022 before the site was sold to TeraWulf earlier this year.<\/p>\n
