Crusoe abandons $1.25B plan to use Boom turbines at AI data centers
Crusoe dropped a $1.25 billion plan to power AI data centers with Boom turbines.
AI data-center company Crusoe has ended a launch partnership to buy $1.25 billion of Boom Supersonic’s natural-gas Superpower turbines, Boom CEO Blake Scholl said. The order covered 29 turbines of 42 megawatts each, with first deliveries planned for 2027, for sites including Crusoe’s Abilene, Texas campus that supplies compute to OpenAI. Crusoe confirmed the partnership is no longer the right fit. Boom said it still expects to deliver about 250 megawatts of Superpower turbines next year and is targeting 1 gigawatt in 2028.
