Crusoe sells troubled Wyoming data center project to Google

Google has acquired an unfinished data center project in Wyoming from Crusoe, a Denver-based data center developer, for an undisclosed price. The project was initially valued at 10 gigawatts of power capacity and was plagued by cost and construction timeline concerns. Google will invest $17 billion to develop the campus and has also partnered with Crusoe on other projects, including a data center in Texas. The deal highlights the challenges of developing massive AI data centers, including securing equipment and power, and dealing with local opposition.
