Crusoe sold an unfinished data center in Wyoming to Google. It had originally tried, unsuccessfully, to bring Google on as a customer; reports say Google had concerns about costs and timelines under Crusoe’s management. The sale price was not disclosed. After taking over, Google plans to invest $17 billion in building the campus.
Google is taking over an unfinished project and its continued development, not an existing customer contract. Large AI data centers need to address equipment, power supply, and community opposition all at once. When independent developers fall behind schedule, major tech companies may take over the projects themselves.
