Microsoft is taking over a large AI data center expansion project in Abilene, Texas, from OpenAI. This involves building two new "AI factory" buildings and a 900-megawatt on-site power plant, significantly expanding the computing complex to 2.1 gigawatts of capacity.
Microsoft is taking over a data center construction project in Abilene, Texas, from OpenAI, making them neighbors at a large AI computing complex. Developer Crusoe is working with Microsoft to build two new "AI factory" buildings and a 900-megawatt power plant, bringing the total to 10 buildings and 2.1 gigawatts of computing capacity. OpenAI, which previously scaled back its expansion plans, is still completing its original project with Oracle at the site.
Microsoft is taking over a data center project in Abilene, Texas, that OpenAI decided not to pursue, making them neighbors at a significant AI computing complex. Data center developer Crusoe will build two new AI factory buildings and a 900-megawatt power plant for Microsoft, adding to the existing facilities for OpenAI and Oracle. This development highlights the increasing separation in AI development strategies between Microsoft and OpenAI.
Form Energy has announced a new agreement with Crusoe to supply 12 gigawatt-hours of iron-air battery systems for Crusoe's AI data centers. These battery systems, designed to provide 100 hours of power, will be manufactured at Form Energy's Form Factory 1 in Weirton, West Virginia. This partnership aims to provide reliable and scalable energy solutions for the growing AI economy.
Laramie County, Wyoming has approved the construction of a 1.8 gigawatt data center campus that could eventually scale up to 10 gigawatts, which would be the largest single AI campus in the U.S. The campus will include a data center built by Crusoe and a power hub built by Tallgrass Energy Partners to provide on-site natural gas power with potential for future CO2 sequestration and renewable energy.
