Anthropic宣布将在澳大利亚建设其首个数据中心，项目规模达319亿澳元1。该数据中心将由新加坡公司Zerra DC在昆士兰州西部的Western Downs数字园区内建设，地点位于达尔比附近1。项目计划于明年开业，并将由Braemar电站供电1。
昆士兰州州长David Crisafulli表示，"获得Anthropic在澳大利亚的首笔重大投资，充分体现了对昆士兰州的巨大信心"1。为推进该项目，昆士兰州政府已争取到从国家可再生能源要求中获得豁免权，从而允许使用煤电为数据中心供电1。昆士兰州和北领地此前曾拒绝了联邦政府7月份要求新AI中心使用可再生能源的推动1。
Anthropic has announced plans to construct its first major Australian datacentre at the Western Downs digital park near Dalby in north-western Queensland, with an investment valued at $31.9 billion 1. The facility, to be developed by Singapore-based company Zerra DC, is planned to open next year and will be powered by the Braemar coal-fired power station 1.
Queensland Premier David Crisafulli stated that securing Anthropic's investment represents "a massive show of confidence in Queensland" 1. To facilitate the project, the Queensland government has obtained an exemption from national renewable energy requirements, allowing the datacentre to operate using coal-generated electricity 1. This decision follows Queensland and the Northern Territory's rejection of a federal push in July for new AI centres to rely exclusively on renewable energy sources 1.
