Crusoe: Abilene 9

Site: Crusoe: Abilene Campus

Year Planned: 2028

This site is leased from Lancium in the Lancium: Abilene building

Crusoe is planning a major expansion, Phase 3, at its Stargate campus in Abilene. The proposal includes two new data center buildings, each approximately 738,000 square feet. These buildings, numbered 9 and 10, represent a significant shift from the earlier phases.

The new facilities are larger and substantially more power-dense than the original Stargate buildings, each handling about 30% more IT load. They also change the campus design, moving from the earlier angled, multi-segment layout to a more conventional rectangular shape. Crucially, Phase 3 introduces dedicated Central Utility Plant (CUP) buildings, infrastructure that was absent in the initial phases.

To support the high-density computing and the scale of the expansion, Crusoe is incorporating a large amount of on-site power generation. This includes 29 GE LM2500 and 12 Aero DT35 natural-gas turbines, each capable of 34.1 MW and operating nearly year-round. The plan also specifies 12 CAT 3516 diesel backup generators and 6 CAT 3516 black-start generators, all rated at 3 MW each.

The company began as Crusoe Energy Systems, a flare mitigation provider that powered onsite computing from stranded natural gas, with bitcoin mining as an early use case.

Crusoe is developing an AI campus at the Lancium Clean Campus in Abilene, Texas, planned for 1.2 GW, and in May 2025 it secured $11.6 billion in debt and equity to expand the site from two to eight buildings.

For this project, it is reported that Crusoe’s direct customer is Oracle and that OpenAI is Oracle’s customer; the Abilene campus is tied to OpenAI’s Stargate program;

OpenAI later announced an additional 4.5 GW Stargate partnership with Oracle that references the Abilene Stargate I site. Crusoe also expanded in-house manufacturing capability through the acquisition of Easter-Owens Electric in 2022.
