Crusoe Pauses 1.8-Gigawatt Wyoming AI Campus as Google Balks at Costs and Timeline
3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 11
Summary
Crusoe’s Wyoming AI campus was effectively shelved after talks with Google stalled, with people familiar with the matter saying the developer is being pushed aside rather than simply pausing work.
Google raised concerns about the project’s cost and construction timetable under Crusoe’s management, undermining Crusoe’s effort to secure anchor customers for the site.
The Cheyenne project was planned as a 1.8-gigawatt data center campus—enough electricity to power a city the size of Denver—and Crusoe had said the pause came at a customer’s request.
The setback hits a developer that has touted nearly 5 gigawatts of contracted capacity and works with major AI customers including OpenAI and Microsoft.
