Anthropic PBC is looking to invest in data centres in Australia as the artificial intelligence company scales up its capacity build-out across the world.<\/p>\n
The firm is most interested in facilities in regional areas or brownfield sites, Jeff Bleich, international special envoy at Anthropic, said at the Australian Financial Review\u2019s Energy and Climate summit in Sydney. Several projects have been pitched to the company by state premiers, he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s any state that\u2019s out of contention,\u201d Bleich said. The company would prefer to base facilities away from major population centres and have them powered by renewable energy, he added.<\/p>\n

Global tech companies including Meta Platforms and Microsoft are aggressively pushing to build out infrastructure to support AI, and Anthropic has already pledged billions of dollars toward facilities globally. That includes a $50 billion plan announced last year for sites in several US locations including Texas and New York. The company also recently secured a $35 billion loan to lease computer chips across five data centres, backed by a guarantee from Alphabet Inc subsidiary Google Llc.<\/p>\n
Australia\u2019s abundant renewable energy potential presents a strong opportunity for data centre build-out, Alexander Smith, Google\u2019s head of Asia Pacific infrastructure and energy, said at the conference. The company is \u201cincreasingly convinced\u201d that the co-location of renewable generation and data centres in the country was feasible, he added.<\/p>\n
