Google plans $17B data centre in Wyoming, its first there
Google says it will pay for all the power the site uses, and its utility partner says those costs won’t shift to other customers. Google bought the site from Crusoe. The plan came two days after US voters backed limits on data centres.
Google announced the campus in Laramie County, near Cheyenne, on November 5. It will run partly on a planned 702-megawatt plant of fuel cells that use natural gas and capture carbon. On November 6, Crusoe said Google had acquired the site. No price was given.
