Riot and Anthropic Corsicana AI Lease Effective; Anthropic Vetoes Voluntary Power Cuts
Current overview (not historical)
Riot Platforms' lease for Anthropic's Corsicana, Texas AI site took effect on November 4, giving Anthropic veto power over any voluntary reduction of the site's power load or participation in voluntary demand-response programs. The agreement covers a planned 910 megawatts of critical IT capacity, to be delivered in phases through July 2028, with a contract value of about $28 billion. Rent begins when delivery starts, and uninstalled modules may be delayed up to 60 days. Mandatory grid orders are not subject to Anthropic's veto.
