Anthropic actively commits to bearing the additional electricity costs in exchange for the rapid expansion rights of the data center.

Against the backdrop of the Trump administration's efforts to ensure that residents' electricity prices do not rise significantly, Anthropic stated that it will absorb the costs of the electricity grid fee increase caused by operating data centers. This AI startup, supported by Amazon and Google's Alphabet, will bear all the costs of upgrading the electricity grid necessary for connecting data centers to the grid, with the expenses being paid in the form of a monthly electricity fee surcharge. In addition, the company revealed that it is investing in deploying load shedding systems to reduce data center energy consumption during peak electricity demand periods, and introducing electricity grid optimization tools. Both measures will help lower end users' electricity bills.
