Crusoe says Google bought its southeast Wyoming data centre site

Crusoe, which describes itself as an AI factory company, said on 6 November 2026 that Google has acquired its data centre site in the southeast of Wyoming. In the announcement, issued from Denver, Crusoe says the sale marks the end of its part in the early, pre-construction stage of the Wyoming project.

Crusoe says that stage covered three areas: choosing the site, obtaining government approvals and settling a power strategy. In a statement attributed to Chase Lochmiller, its co-founder and chief executive, the company sums up its earlier work as origination, entitlement and reducing risk, and says that work has put the project in position to be built and later run.

How the campus began

Crusoe says it and Tallgrass Energy started the Wyoming campus by developing its power supply and its data centre infrastructure side by side. Running the two tracks at once, the company says, meant coordinating the design of the energy systems, the engineering of the data centre, the preparation of the site and talks with a hyperscaler at the same time.

The partnership was first announced on 24 July 2025, in a release published on the Tallgrass newsroom. It described a 1.8 gigawatt AI data centre campus in southeast Wyoming, designed with a path to 10 gigawatts, and said the project would draw on Tallgrass's experience in developing large energy infrastructure across several commodities.

The power plan

Crusoe describes the power strategy for the campus as a hybrid that combines fuel cells, grid supply and gas-fired turbines, and places carbon capture through the regional CO2 sequestration hub run by Tallgrass on a long-term roadmap. The 2025 release likewise spoke of several energy sources fuelled by natural gas, with future renewable developments in the region. It said the site lies near the CO2 sequestration hub Tallgrass already has in place and would use Tallgrass's natural gas and water assets in the state.

Crusoe's wider portfolio

In the same announcement Lochmiller says Crusoe has more than 6 GW under contract and a pipeline of over 40 GW. Crusoe also says it recently announced that it is developing a Google data centre campus now being built in Armstrong County, outside Amarillo.

At the time of the July 2025 announcement, Crusoe pointed to two other large projects: the 1.2 GW data centre in Abilene, Texas, which it called its flagship and which was then under construction, and a campus of more than 1 GW at a new site where it said it had broken ground.
