Project Jade (Crusoe / Tallgrass) AI Data Center Campus

Capacity: announced vs energized

Announced-to-energized gap: 10 GW. Every figure below is a single dated, sourced claim. Current best per series resolves by evidence tier, then date. See the methodology.

Promised online: 2027. 15 months away. Claimed by Crusoe / Tallgrass (developer statements at county approval) (source).

Construction evidence

Dated satellite imagery of the site itself, oldest to newest, with the campus milestones that landed in each window. This is what the site looked like from orbit while announcements, permits, and energizations were dated into our ledger, so bare land, grading, and building mass tell their own story alongside the paper trail.

The deal

utility

Tallgrass Energy · Builds BFC Power / Cheyenne Power Hub and CO2 sequestration hub

financier

Blackstone Inc. · Listed by Global Energy Monitor as parent/owner behind Tallgrass Energy on the BFC Power / Cheyenne Power Hub. Tracker-sourced.

developer

Crusoe · Develops the AI data center campus

Power

Power source

behind the meter gas

Grid operator

WECC

Interconnection

Bring your own power: the campus is paired with the Cheyenne Power Hub, a dedicated 2.7 GW gas plant Tallgrass is building beside it inside the same industrial park, so the compute build does not wait on new grid capacity.

Water

On-site deep groundwater wells drilled below the aquifers that supply Laramie County; closed-loop cooling to minimize consumption. Reported initial fill roughly equivalent to 20 households and ongoing annual use less than three households (Cowboy State Daily).

BFC Power / Cheyenne Power Hub, 2.70 GW gas, Permitted. 2.7 GW natural gas-fired generation on 659 acres, built by Tallgrass; $7B investment.

Bloom Energy fuel cells, other, Announced. Fuel cells cited in bring-your-own-power model; capacity unspecified.

BFC Power and Cheyenne Power Hub, 2.70 GW gas, Permitted. 2.7 GW new on-site natural gas generation dedicated to the campus; per Global Energy Monitor configured as two ~1,350 MW combined-cycle units plus aeroderivative turbines. Laramie County site plan approved 2026-01-05; developed by Tallgrass Energy; CO2 sequestration reported up to ~10.6M metric tons/yr. GEM status: pre-construction.

Bloom Energy fuel cell yard, other, Announced. Bloom Energy fuel cells cited as supplemental on-site generation alongside gas turbines.

County water status: Extreme drought (D3) in Laramie County, week of 2026-09-22 (US Drought Monitor). Data centers are large water users for cooling; this is the neutral local water picture.

Why here

Project Jade (Crusoe / Tallgrass) AI Data Center Campus sits on greenfield in Wyoming, Cheyenne. It connects to the WECC grid, draws on behind the meter gas power, interconnection is Bring your own power: the campus is paired with the Cheyenne Power Hub, a dedicated 2.7 GW gas plant Tallgrass is building beside it inside the same industrial park, so the compute build does not wait on new grid capacity.. This siting summary is composed from the record's held fields, not speculation; see methodology.
