Google Buys Unfinished Wyoming Data Center from Crusoe, Plans $17 Billion Investment
Summary
Crusoe confirmed Friday it sold its unfinished southeastern Wyoming data center project to Google, after failing to land Google as a customer over cost and timeline concerns. Google did not disclose the purchase price but says it will invest $17 billion to develop the campus. Crusoe, valued at $30.9 billion, still builds a Google site near Amarillo, Texas.
Key Points
- Crusoe announced the Wyoming project last year with Tallgrass, a Blackstone-backed infrastructure company.
- Crusoe planned to scale the Wyoming campus to 10 gigawatts of power capacity.
- Bloomberg first reported in June that Google would take over the unfinished Wyoming site.
