Crusoe, an artificial intelligence infrastructure and cloud computing company, has announced the sale of its site in southeast Wyoming to Google, which last week said that it would invest US$ 17 billion in the Cowboy State.
According to a press release, Crusoe has completed pre-development work on the project, including data center site selection, governmental approvals, and power strategy. The company initiated the campus with Tallgrass Energy.
“Crusoe’s pre-construction efforts – origination, entitlement, and de-risking – have set up the Wyoming project for construction and eventual operation,” said Chase Lochmiller, Crusoe co-founder and Chief Executive Officer.
As w.media has previously reported, talk that Google had pushed Crusoe out of the data center development emerged as early as June 2026. Reports suggest that Crusoe was ousted after it failed to lock in customers for the data center campus.
Google indicated last week that it was working with Tallgrass Energy, Black Hills Energy, American Electric Power (AEP), and Related Digital on its first data center in Wyoming. The company said that it will pay for the power it uses and cover the infrastructure needs driven by its growth. The project is contracted with AEP to feature a first-of-its-kind, commercial-scale, 702 MW fuel cell development with carbon capture and storage.
Crusoe said that while the Wyoming project is behind it, it has more than 6 GW of capacity contracted and more than 40 GW in its pipeline. This includes a new data center campus being built in Armstrong County outside of Amarillo, Texas, for Google. The data center connects to Serena’s Goodnight 1 wind farm, which is operational and has a capacity of 265.5 MW. It is also adjacent to the Goodnight 2 wind farm, which is under construction and will have the same 265.5 MW capacity.
