Crusoe Hands Google a Pre-Developed Wyoming AI Data Center Site

Crusoe announced on November 6, 2026 that Google had acquired its data-center site in southeast Wyoming, completing Crusoe’s pre-development engagement on the project. The work covered site selection, governmental approvals and a hybrid power strategy developed with Tallgrass Energy. Chief executive and co-founder Chase Lochmiller characterized the pre-construction work as origination, entitlement and de-risking, positioning it for construction and eventual operation.

The disclosure therefore marks a development handoff after those preparations, with no new construction start or operating capacity announced. Crusoe and Tallgrass initiated the campus through joint development of power and data-center infrastructure. Their process coordinated energy-systems design, data-center engineering, site development and hyperscaler engagement concurrently, tying the electricity plan to the campus’s technical and commercial preparation.

The partners introduced the project on July 24, 2025 as a 1.8-gigawatt AI data-center campus designed for expansion to as much as 10 gigawatts. Those figures describe the announced design and expansion potential. The initial plan combined multiple energy sources fueled by natural gas with future renewable-energy developments in the region.
