Startup Behind OpenAI’s Stargate Data Center Lands Record Power Deal

An Nvidia-backed startup building a massive data center for OpenAI has gained access to one of the largest new power sources for data centers in the U.S.

The startup, Crusoe, said it struck an agreement with the owner of gas turbines that would generate 4.5 gigawatts of energy by 2027, an unprecedented sum that could power millions of Nvidia artificial intelligence chips. Crusoe is now trying to sell the data center capacity those turbines will power to firms such as OpenAI, Google and Meta Platforms, which have scrambled to find energy for new facilities to develop AI.
