Crusoe drops $1.25B deal for Boom’s Superpower turbines
The deal, announced in 2023, would have included 29 turbines—each rated at 42 megawatts—with deliveries starting in 2027.
Key points
- Crusoe shifts to wind, solar, batteries, and grid power for its AI data centers instead
Crusoe, which raised $3.9 billion earlier this year, now says it will use a mix of wind, solar, batteries, and grid power for its AI campuses, including a Texas facility that powers OpenAI. A Crusoe spokesperson called the partnership ‘not the right fit today.’ Boom, which raised $300 million last year to commercialize its stationary power business, had hoped to fund its Overture supersonic jet project through turbine sales. The company did not disclose whether it will seek alternative customers for the turbines.
