GoKawiilCrusoe sells unfinished Wyoming data center project to Google
Crusoe confirmed it sold an incomplete data center development in southeastern Wyoming to Google, after Google had reportedly raised concerns about cost and timeline delays under Crusoe's management. The project, originally launched with Tallgrass and planned to scale to 10 gigawatts, will now be developed by Google, which has committed $17 billion to the campus without disclosing the purchase price.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The sale suggests even well-funded independent developers like Crusoe, recently valued at $30.9 billion, can struggle to execute massive infrastructure projects on schedule, reflecting broader industry bottlenecks around equipment, power and community pushback. Google's willingness to take over the site while still working with Crusoe elsewhere, such as in Amarillo, Texas, indicates the relationship between hyperscalers and developers may be shifting toward more hands-on control rather than outright abandonment of partnerships.
- Crusoe sold an unfinished Wyoming data center project to Google after concerns over cost and construction delays.
- Google is investing $17 billion in the campus but has not disclosed what it paid for the site.
- Crusoe continues to work with Google on another project in Texas and recently raised $3.9 billion despite the Wyoming setback.
