A group of banks is reportedly in discussions to provide a $15 billion loan to Nexus for the construction of a data center in Texas. Anthropic is slated to lease this facility, with Google offering financial guarantees. These guarantees from Google, covering power and lease obligations, are crucial for Nexus to secure the necessary financing for the 1.6-gigawatt project in Texas.
