Crusoe Details Google’s Texas AI Campus, With Links to 531 MW of Wind
Crusoe said it is developing Google’s data center campus in Armstrong County, Texas, with direct connections to two neighboring wind farms totaling 531 megawatts of generating capacity.
The construction near Amarillo began in June 2025, and more than 5,500 workers are now on site daily, Crusoe said in a Monday announcement. Serena’s 265.5-megawatt Goodnight 1 wind farm is operating, while the equally sized Goodnight 2 remains under construction. Crusoe said excess wind generation would flow to the grid.
The update adds details to a project Google previously included in its $40 billion Texas investment plan through 2027. Announced in November 2025, that broader commitment covers cloud and artificial intelligence infrastructure, including campuses in Armstrong and Haskell counties. Google did not assign a separate investment figure to the Armstrong site in that announcement.
Crusoe’s latest release did not disclose the campus’s electrical demand, construction cost or opening date. The wind farms’ combined capacity is a generation figure, rather than a measure of the computing facility’s size. The company also said the campus would use a closed-loop liquid cooling system without evaporation to limit water consumption.
The wind connections are only part of the site’s potential energy story. Research firm Cleanview previously identified a January 2026 permit application by Crusoe for a 933-megawatt natural gas plant at the Goodnight campus in Armstrong County. According to Cleanview’s review, the proposed plant would supply two campus buildings without connecting to the power grid.
Google told Cleanview at the time that it had not signed an agreement to purchase electricity from the gas plant. Those findings establish a proposed source of power, rather than a confirmed supply contract.
The development comes as Crusoe raises capital to expand across power generation, data center construction and cloud services. On Sept. 17, the company announced an initial closing of an anticipated $3.9 billion Series F financing at a $30.9 billion post-money valuation. Atreides Management, Mubadala Capital and Valor Equity Partners co-led the round.
Crusoe’s approach has roots in bitcoin mining, where it used gas that would otherwise be flared at oilfields to power computers. In March 2025, it announced plans to sell that business to NYDIG and focus on AI infrastructure, extending its strategy of locating computing capacity near energy supplies.
