Overview
- State and local regulators have begun reviewing the Tallgrass–Crusoe permit application for the new facility, which starts at 1.8GW before expanding to 10GW.
- The project will rely on its own gas generators and renewable energy installations rather than drawing from the public grid.
- Crusoe has not named a lead tenant and has declined to confirm whether OpenAI’s Stargate infrastructure will be hosted at the site.
- Upon activation, the center’s initial power draw will exceed the combined electricity use of all Wyoming households.
- Cheyenne’s cool climate, low energy rates and status as a top net power exporter have attracted data centers from Microsoft and Meta.
