Anthropic is planning multiple large data center expansions in Central Texas, including sites in Bastrop County, Rockdale, and near Waco, each supported by dedicated natural gas power plants. This expansion comes amid state regulatory efforts led by Governor Greg Abbott to manage electricity and water use from data centers to protect the Texas grid and residents.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Infrastructure.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Anthropic's expanding data center footprint forces you to reassess local power dependencies and regulatory risks in Texas. Factor dedicated power plant requirements into your capacity planning or site selection now.
