Boom Supersonic’s data center push hits setback with loss of $1.25B order

Boom Supersonic’s effort to expand into data center power generation has suffered a setback after a major customer ended a $1.25 billion order for its Superpower turbine engines. The engines are designed to generate electricity for data centers without requiring water.

The company said it still expects to deliver Superpower engines to other sites. Boom has promoted the technology as particularly useful for AI data centers, where water availability for cooling can be limited.
