Crusoe, a Denver-based AI data center operator, has officially terminated its agreement to purchase stationary power plants from Boom Supersonic. The deal, valued at $1.25 billion, originally covered the acquisition of 29 Superpower turbines, each with a 42-megawatt capacity, with initial deliveries scheduled for 2027.
The Superpower turbine was designed by Boom Supersonic as a natural gas-fired power solution, sharing approximately 80% of its components with the Symphony engine developed for the company's Overture supersonic jet. The partnership was intended to help Boom Supersonic commercialize its power plant business to support aircraft development.
Boom Supersonic CEO Blake Scholl confirmed that the companies are no longer proceeding with the partnership, noting that turbines are not currently part of Crusoe's primary power strategy for its data centers. Despite the cancellation, Boom Supersonic plans to deliver 250 megawatts of capacity to other clients next year, targeting 1 gigawatt by 2028.
Crusoe, which recently secured $3.9 billion in funding, continues to expand its infrastructure, including a major campus in Abilene, Texas, that provides computing power to OpenAI. A company spokesperson stated that Crusoe remains flexible in its energy sourcing, utilizing a mix of wind, solar, battery storage, and grid power as project needs evolve.
