内容总结：

总部位于丹佛的数据中心开发商Crusoe（估值309亿美元）周五确认，已将怀俄明州东南部一个未完工的数据中心项目出售给谷歌。Crusoe此前曾试图将该项目的算力卖给谷歌但未能达成合作，据报道谷歌对Crusoe管理下该项目的成本和建设进度存有顾虑，因而决定接手开发。Crusoe去年与黑石支持的基础设施公司Tallgrass共同宣布该项目，原计划最终扩展至10吉瓦电力容量。谷歌未披露收购价格，但宣布计划投资170亿美元开发该数据中心园区。

此交易凸显了独立数据中心开发商在按时按预算交付大型项目方面面临的困难——设备采购和电力保障均存在挑战，当地社区日益增长的反对声音也使开发更加复杂。尽管接手了怀俄明州设施，谷歌并未完全终止与Crusoe的合作。Crusoe正在得克萨斯州阿马里洛附近为谷歌开发另一个数据中心。彭博社今年6月率先报道了该出售交易，但怀俄明州的挫折并未阻碍Crusoe在9月完成39亿美元融资。

Crusoe的盈利模式包括向自带GPU的客户出租数据中心空间、出租自有GPU，以及出售用于运行AI模型推理的算力。其最大项目服务于AI领域的知名企业：位于得州阿比林的园区正为甲骨文和OpenAI分阶段建设，公司还在隔壁为微软建设一个900兆瓦的独立园区，首栋建筑预计于2027年年中上线。Meta也是其客户，彭博社报道称交易公司Jane Street与Crusoe签署了价值130亿美元的五年期云协议。

Crusoe由现任CEO Chase Lochmiller和Cully Cavness创立，最初是一家利用本应被燃烧掉的天然气进行加密货币挖矿的企业。9月完成39亿美元融资的同时，公司新增三名董事会成员，包括Redwood Materials创始人、特斯拉董事会成员JB Straubel——他于2021年投资了Crusoe，Crusoe后来成为Straubel储能业务的首个客户。

Crusoe是一家总部位于丹佛的数据中心开发商，年仅八岁，近期估值达309亿美元。该公司周五证实，已将其位于怀俄明州东南部的一个未完工数据中心项目出售给谷歌。谷歌此前曾被Crusoe争取成为该项目的客户，但未能成功。据报道，谷歌对Crusoe管理下该项目的成本和建设工期提出了担忧，随后接手了该项目的开发。Crusoe去年与黑石支持的基础设施公司Tallgrass共同宣布了这一项目，计划最终将电力容量扩展至10吉瓦。谷歌未披露为这个未完工项目向Crusoe支付了多少费用，但宣布计划投资170亿美元开发该数据中心园区。这笔交易凸显出，独立数据中心开发商要想按时、按预算交付大型项目有多么困难，尤其是在获取设备和电力方面面临挑战的情况下。当地社区日益增长的反对声音也会进一步加大开发难度。尽管接手了怀俄明州的设施，谷歌并未完全终止与Crusoe的合作。Crusoe正在得克萨斯州阿马里洛附近为谷歌开发另一个数据中心。彭博社于6月首次报道了将该地块出售给谷歌的交易，但怀俄明州的挫折并未阻止Crusoe在9月完成39亿美元的融资。Crusoe的盈利模式包括：向自带GPU的客户出租数据中心空间、出租自有GPU，以及出售用于运行AI模型的算力（即推理）。Crusoe最大的项目服务于AI领域一些最知名的企业。其位于得克萨斯州阿比林的数据中心园区正为甲骨文和OpenAI分阶段建设，该公司还在隔壁为微软建设一个独立的900兆瓦园区，首栋建筑预计于2027年年中投入使用。Meta也是其客户，据彭博社报道，交易公司Jane Street与Crusoe签署了一份价值130亿美元、为期五年的云服务协议。Crusoe由现任CEO蔡斯·洛克米勒和卡利·卡夫内斯创立，最初是一家利用原本会被烧掉的天然气进行加密货币挖矿的企业。9月，在完成39亿美元融资的同时，公司新增了三名董事会成员，其中包括Redwood Materials创始人、特斯拉董事会成员JB·斯特劳贝尔，他于2021年投资了Crusoe。Crusoe后来成为斯特劳贝尔储能业务的首个客户。

Crusoe, an eight-year-old, Denver-based data center developer recently valued at $30.9 billion, confirmed Friday it has sold an unfinished data center project in southeastern Wyoming to Google.
Google, which Crusoe had tried and failed to land as a customer for the project, is taking over the development after reportedly raising concerns about its cost and construction timeline under Crusoe’s management.
Crusoe initially announced the project last year with Blackstone-backed infrastructure company Tallgrass, planning to eventually scale it to 10 gigawatts of power capacity.
Google did not disclose how much it paid Crusoe for the unfinished project, bu it announced plans to invest $17 billion to develop the data center campus.
The deal highlights how difficult it can be for independent data center developers to deliver massive projects on time and within budget, given the challenges of securing equipment and power. Growing opposition from local communities can further complicate development.
Despite taking over the Wyoming facility, Google hasn’t walked away from working with Crusoe entirely. Crusoe is developing another data center for Google near Amarillo, Texas.
The deal to sell the site to Google was first reported by Bloomberg in June, but the Wyoming setback didn’t stop Crusoe from raising a $3.9 billion round in September.
Crusoe makes money by leasing data center space to customers that bring their own GPUs, by renting out its own GPUs, and by selling compute power used to run AI models, known as inference.
Crusoe’s largest projects serve some of the biggest names in AI. Its campus in Abilene, Texas, is being built in phases for Oracle and OpenAI, and the company is also constructing a separate 900-megawatt campus next door for Microsoft, with its first building expected to come online in mid-2027. Meta is also a customer, and Bloomberg reported that the trading firm Jane Street signed a $13 billion, five-year cloud deal with Crusoe.
Crusoe was founded by Chase Lochmiller, now its CEO, and Cully Cavness, who started it as a cryptocurrency-mining business powered by natural gas that would otherwise have been burned off. In September, alongside its $3.9 billion funding round, the company added three board members, including JB Straubel, the Redwood Materials founder and Tesla board member who invested in Crusoe in 2021. Crusoe later became the first customer of Straubel’s energy-storage business.
