Overview
- Crusoe ordered 29 Superpower units totaling 1.21 gigawatts, with Boom supplying turbines, generators, controls and maintenance while customers handle pollution controls, hookups and permitting.
- Superpower is a 42‑megawatt natural gas turbine derived from Boom’s Symphony core that the company says holds full output above 110°F and runs without water, with roughly 80% parts commonality to the jet engine.
- Boom closed a $300 million round led by Darsana Capital Partners, joined by Altimeter Capital, ARK Invest, Bessemer Venture Partners, Robinhood Ventures and Y Combinator.
- The first fully integrated turbine is slated for late 2026 and customer deliveries are planned to begin in 2027, with production targets of about 1 GW in 2028, 2 GW in 2029 and 4 GW by 2030 as a dedicated U.S. factory is built.
- TechCrunch reports Crusoe is paying about $1,033 per kilowatt for capacity and that Boom targets ~39% simple‑cycle efficiency, while analysts note a lack of independent long‑duration data and that full project costs could be materially higher once site integration is included.
