Crusoe, the AI infrastructure company that pivoted away from Bitcoin mining last year, has hit pause on what would have been one of the most ambitious data center projects ever attempted in the US. Project Jade, a planned 1.8-gigawatt facility in Cheyenne, Wyoming, has been shelved at the request of an undisclosed client.
To put 1.8 GW in perspective, that’s roughly enough electricity to power the entire city of Denver. And the project was designed to eventually scale to 10 GW.
What happened to Project Jade
Crusoe first announced Project Jade in July 2025 as a partnership with Tallgrass, an energy infrastructure company. The collaboration centered on using natural gas to power the facility, with CO2 sequestration built into the design.
Local approvals for the Wyoming site came through in January 2026, clearing the regulatory path for construction.
