Crusoe sells troubled Wyoming data center project to Google
The deal highlights the challenges of developing massive AI data centers.
Crusoe, an eight-year-old, Denver-based data center developer recently valued at $30.9 billion , confirmed Friday it has sold an unfinished data center project in southeastern Wyoming to Google.
Google, which Crusoe had tried and failed to land as a customer for the project, is taking over the development after reportedly raising concerns about its cost and construction timeline under Crusoe’s management.
Crusoe initially announced the project last year with Blackstone-backed infrastructure company Tallgrass, planning to eventually scale it to 10 gigawatts of power capacity.
Google did not disclose how much it paid Crusoe for the unfinished project, but it announced plans to invest $17 billion to develop the data center campus.
