Banks are in talks to arrange about $15 billion in debt financing for a data center project tied to Anthropic, according to multiple reports. The project is in Texas and is described as a large-scale facility, with one outlet citing a capacity of 1.6 gigawatts. The financing effort involves banks led by Morgan Stanley, with CNBC reporting that discussions are in advanced stages and naming Nexus Data Centers as the entity in the talks. Other reporting says the debt would be supported through backing associated with Alphabet Inc.’s Google, including guarantees related to power supply and lease obligations. The reports characterize the arrangement as a borrowing and underwriting process still subject to change, citing unnamed people familiar with the matter rather than announcing finalized terms. Taken together, the sources indicate that Google’s support is intended to improve the project’s credit profile and help the developer secure the proposed level of funding. No source provides final deal terms, pricing, or timing for completion.
