The Crusoe Wyoming data center sale gives Google control of an unfinished AI infrastructure project in southeastern Wyoming. Crusoe confirmed the transaction on Nov. 6, 2026, after earlier reports raised concerns about construction costs and development delays.
Google plans to invest $17 billion in the campus, although the purchase price remains undisclosed. Crusoe and infrastructure company Tallgrass Energy originally developed the project, with plans to support up to 10 gigawatts of power capacity eventually.
Google Takes Control of Crusoe’s Wyoming Project
In its official announcement, Crusoe confirmed that Google had acquired the site following its pre-development work. That included site selection, government approvals and planning the facility’s power infrastructure.
The project encountered difficulties earlier this year. In June, Bloomberg reported that Google had raised concerns about costs and construction timelines under Crusoe’s management. Crusoe subsequently paused its development plans.
Google’s $17 billion investment plan includes partnerships with Tallgrass Energy, Black Hills Energy, American Electric Power and Related Digital.
The campus will feature a planned 702-megawatt fuel-cell development with carbon capture and storage. Google also intends to use air cooling to reduce water consumption.
Crusoe Continues Developing Google’s Texas Data Center
Despite the Wyoming sale, Google and Crusoe continue working together. In September, Crusoe announced that it was developing Google’s data center campus in Armstrong County, near Amarillo, Texas.
Crusoe also operates major AI infrastructure projects for other technology companies. Its Abilene, Texas, campus supports Oracle and OpenAI, while a separate facility is being developed for Microsoft.
The company provides data center capacity, GPU computing infrastructure and cloud services for AI training and inference. Its customers include several major technology businesses.
Crusoe’s AI Infrastructure Business Continues Growing
The Wyoming setback did not prevent Crusoe from securing additional funding. In September, the company raised approximately $3.9 billion at a reported valuation of $30.9 billion.
That month, Bloomberg reported that trading firm Jane Street had signed a five-year AI cloud agreement worth approximately $13 billion with Crusoe.
Crusoe also expanded its leadership by appointing three directors, including Tesla co-founder and Redwood Materials CEO JB Straubel.
Crusoe says it has more than 6 gigawatts of contracted capacity and over 40 gigawatts in its development pipeline. The Wyoming transaction removes one major project from its portfolio while Google assumes responsibility for completing the campus.
