Powering some of the most advanced AI workloads
in the world, the Abilene site will serve as a cornerstone for one
of the world’s largest data center campuses
Crusoe Energy Systems LLC (“Crusoe”) announced today that it is
building a 200 MW data center at the Lancium Clean Campus outside
Abilene, Texas. Crusoe, a vertically-integrated AI infrastructure
company, and Lancium, an energy technology and infrastructure
company that advances the decarbonization and stability of the
electric power grid, will work together to bring this specially
designed AI data center online in the coming months. This is the
first phase of Crusoe’s data center development which will expand
to enable AI workloads at scale across 1.2 GW of power capacity at
the Lancium Clean Campus.

Supported by a multibillion-dollar investment, the purpose-built
data center will include high-density data halls specially designed
to enable AI workloads including plans to draw on local renewable
energy. The design will be optimized for direct-to-chip liquid
cooling or rear-door heat exchangers and will be flexible enough to
include air cooling. At completion, each data center building will
be able to operate up to 100,000 GPUs on a single integrated
network fabric, advancing the frontier of data center design and
scale for AI training and inference workloads.
"Data centers are rapidly evolving to support modern AI
workloads, requiring new levels of high density rack space,
direct-to-chip liquid cooling and unprecedented overall energy
demands. We've designed this data center to enable the largest
clusters of GPUs in the world to drive new breakthroughs in AI,"
said Chase Lochmiller, Crusoe’s Co-Founder and CEO. "Given its
leadership in renewable energy and plans for the site, working with
Lancium in Abilene presents a unique opportunity to sustainably
power the future of AI and we're thrilled to have the support of
the city in this ambitious endeavor."
“Lancium’s mission to decarbonize compute for the most
energy-intensive workloads and this scale and type of data center
is game-changing,” said Michael McNamara, co-founder and chief
executive officer of Lancium. “Our energy management expertise, the
integration of incremental storage and solar generation resources
behind-the-meter at the campus, and Crusoe’s design approach will
combine to deliver the maximum amount of green energy at the lowest
possible cost, while bringing significant benefits to the Abilene
community.”
Lancium’s end-to-end solutions include land acquisition, power
interconnect, site engineering, renewables interconnect, and power
orchestration. With its deep commitment to scaling AI
infrastructure in a climate-aligned way, Crusoe will own and
develop the data center.
The data center is expected to be energized in 2025.
