New 900 MW campus beside Stargate Abilene, built to support Microsoft AI workloads: two buildings, each designed for 336 MW of critical IT load, plus an on-site power plant. Crusoe says the combined Abilene site reaches ~2.1 GW; first building to be energized mid-2027.
Current and planned figures may use different power bases. Planned power is the end state, not additional capacity to add to the current figure. An unspecified basis remains unknown. A figure marked est rests on at least one source other than the operator’s own announcement.
