Summary

Nova Scotia’s natural resources committee is scheduled to hear about the proposed $10-billion AI data centre in Cape Breton. EverWind Fuels says Anthropic signed a 20-year lease for a facility in Point Tupper that would use 95 megawatts of electricity in its first phase. Local officials and provincial energy and environment officials are also scheduled to testify as opponents raise concerns about environmental effects, water supplies and electricity rates.
