Develops Microsoft Abilene and Google Armstrong campuses; sold its pre-development Wyoming site to Google.
Crusoe said Google acquired the southeast Wyoming site, ending Crusoe's pre-development role; Tallgrass helped develop its power strategy.
No price, IT capacity or commercial-operation date established by this release. Governmental approvals are a developer assertion; the individual approvals were not audited.
Crusoe confirmed its developer role and reported construction continuing after a June 2025 groundbreaking.
September is the disclosure date, not the construction start. Adjacent wind-farm MW are generation capacity and are not assigned as campus IT load.
Crusoe will design, build and operate the data center; Lancium owns the land and manages energy infrastructure. The customer was unnamed.
Construction was expected in Q3; a subsequent start is not established by this release.
Crusoe reported land clearing for two Microsoft buildings adjacent to its existing Abilene campus; first energization was targeted for mid-2027.
Separate from the original Oracle/OpenAI campus. Two 336 MW IT buildings total 672 MW design load; the 900 MW headline refers to the power/site plan. Existing-campus completion by end-2026 remains a forecast at this announcement.
Oracle said two buildings were fully operational, the remaining campus was on track and leasing for its additional 4.5 GW OpenAI commitment was complete.
Oracle published the post at 10:40 PM Eastern on March 8, which was March 9 in UTC. The 4.5 GW figure describes leasing across multiple sites, rather than Abilene's operating capacity. Oracle's statement does not negate Katti's account of redirecting an incremental expansion.
Sachin Katti said OpenAI considered a further Abilene expansion and chose other locations while its existing campus and wider buildout continued.
No exact size, lease termination date or financing cause is established by this post.
