Due to grid capacity delays in Texas, AI infrastructure firm Crusoe built a 300MW gas turbine plant at its Abilene data center to supplement utility power, supporting 1.2GW of campus capacity through mix of grid and on-site generation.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Infrastructure.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must arrange alternative power sources now as grid delays in Texas are forcing AI data centres to self-generate electricity. This opens the door to onsite power partnerships and changes cost structures in US AI infrastructure.
