This facility is part of Crusoe Energy's Lancium Clean Compute Campus in West Texas.
Crusoe
Crusoe is a privately held AI infrastructure developer and GPU cloud provider that builds AI data center campuses and offers GPU cloud services in the United States. 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.
