Crusoe Sells Wyoming Data Center Project to Google as Buyer Plans $17 Billion Buildout

Summary
Google is taking over Crusoe’s unfinished southeastern Wyoming data center project and says it will invest $17 billion to develop the campus.
Crusoe confirmed the sale Friday after failing to win Google as a customer for the site; Google had raised concerns about the project’s cost and construction timeline under Crusoe’s management.
The Wyoming project was launched last year with Tallgrass and was intended to scale to 10 gigawatts, underscoring how hard independent developers can find delivering giant AI data centers on time and on budget.
Crusoe still works with Google on a separate data center near Amarillo, Texas, and the Wyoming setback did not derail its $3.9 billion fundraising round in September.
