Crusoe has abandoned a $1.25 billion plan to power AI data centers with Boom Supersonic's stationary turbines, per Boom's CEO.
Crusoe has walked away from a $1.25 billion agreement to deploy Boom Supersonic's stationary power turbines at its AI data centers, according to Boom CEO Blake Scholl, who said the turbines are no longer part of Crusoe's near-term power plans.
The reversal underscores how unsettled the power sourcing strategy remains for AI infrastructure builders racing to secure gigawatt-scale energy outside the traditional grid.
A $1.25 billion pullback signals that novel power solutions for AI data centers are riskier bets than headlines suggest, and infrastructure operators are still shopping for reliable, bankable energy sources. Expect continued churn in AI power deals until a dominant model for off-grid generation proves out at scale.
