Crusoe builds Google’s Texas AI data center campus with wind-powered cooling

The design includes a closed-loop, non-evaporative liquid cooling system to minimize water use. Crusoe’s blog post explained its ‘across the meter’ model, which captures stranded renewable energy by matching AI load with onsite generation. The company cited ERCOT’s 2025 State of the Market Report, noting that 4.7% of wind generation was curtailed in 2025, while 5% of electricity is lost during transmission, per the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Google’s Texas Energy Impact Fund, part of a $30 million commitment, supports energy efficiency upgrades in local public buildings and homes, including pre-weatherization repairs in Armstrong, Ellis, Haskell, and Wilbarger Counties. Crusoe’s portfolio now includes this Armstrong County campus and two others under development in Abilene.
