Google bought the unfinished site for the data center from the Crusoe AI company for the independent implementation of the project. This is reported in a press release from Google.
Google plans to invest $17 billion in the construction of a data center in Wyoming after Crusoe's unsuccessful attempt to find customers for the data center. Crusoe will withdraw from the project, including without participating in the stage of preparing the site for the data center and coordinating with regulators.
The data center sector as a whole is facing challenges in finding equipment and providing sufficient capacity, jeopardizing the prospects of thousands of new developers who entered the market without sufficient experience in AI infrastructure. In addition, several gubernatorial candidates in the United States intend to reduce the development of campuses that play a key role in creating AI systems.
Crusoe entered into an agreement with Google to implement a 10 GW project in Wyoming in July 2025, together with the Tallgrass infrastructure company controlled by Blackstone Inc. The data center was designed taking into account the use of existing Tallgrass gas pipelines and water supply networks in the region.
At the same time, Google has not completely severed cooperation with Crusoe, which continues to build a campus of data centers with a capacity of more than 6 GW and 40 GW for Google in Texas.
Crusoe Energy Systems is an American AI infrastructure company headquartered in Denver, Colorado.
Google LLC is an American multinational corporation controlled by Alphabet. The company develops a wide range of IT products and Internet services. The headquarters is located in Mountain View, California.
