Overview
- Google has acquired the southeast Wyoming site after Crusoe finished pre-development work and the transaction transfers responsibility for building and operating the campus to Google.
- Crusoe and Tallgrass Energy jointly led the project through site choice, government approvals and an integrated power strategy to reduce early-stage risks for the campus.
- The campus design centers on a hybrid power approach that pairs fuel cells, grid supply and natural gas turbines with a longer-term roadmap to send CO2 to Tallgrass’s regional sequestration hub.
- Crusoe says it will continue as a developer for Google elsewhere, including a campus under construction in Armstrong County outside Amarillo, and reports more than 6 GW contracted and over 40 GW in its pipeline.
- The deal illustrates a growing industry model where specialist developers de-risk energy-focused data center sites for hyperscalers, a shift that can speed AI buildouts but also highlights cost, timeline and local permitting pressures for independent projects.
