Project Jade: 10GW Crusoe AI Data Center Wyoming

Status: Approved / Construction Commencement (Q1 2026)   |   Location: 8 miles south of Cheyenne

Project Overview

Approved unanimously in January 2026, Project Jade represents a transformative step in hyperscale AI infrastructure, led by Crusoe Energy Systems in partnership with Tallgrass Energy. The development directly addresses one of the most critical constraints in AI growth, the availability of reliable, large-scale power, by integrating a purpose-built 659-acre energy complex alongside a 600-acre data center campus. Located in Wyoming, the project leverages the region’s abundant natural gas resources to deliver an initial 1.8 GW of capacity, with long-term scalability engineered up to 10 GW. This positions Project Jade among the largest planned AI-dedicated energy ecosystems globally. A key differentiator is its hybrid sustainability model: while natural gas serves as the foundational energy source, Tallgrass’s established CO₂ pipeline network enables future deployment of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), aligning the project with evolving decarbonization goals. Additionally, the campus incorporates advanced thermal management through a closed-loop liquid cooling system, significantly reducing water consumption compared to traditional air-cooled data centers. This “zero-air” architecture not only improves energy efficiency but also enhances operational resilience, making Project Jade a blueprint for next-generation AI infrastructure that balances scale, performance, and environmental responsibility
