Summary
EverWind plans to build a 95-megawatt AI data centre at Point Tupper, Nova Scotia, by late 2027 and lease it to United States company Anthropic for 20 years. The company expects 2,000 construction jobs and 215 permanent jobs across the data centre and four wind farms, but critics question whether the economic gains will justify the project’s costs. EverWind also plans to expand the centre to 325 megawatts by mid-2028.
