Stargate Abilene (Crusoe Abilene Campus)

Stargate Site 1, Lancium Clean Campus or Crusoe Abilene Campus - this data center campus is known under multiple names.
Stargate Site 1 is the first location under the $500 billion Stargate project announced by President Trump in January 2025, involving OpenAI, Oracle and Soft Bank. According to the announcement, 10 buildings are currently being built and will later be expanded to 20. The campus covers and area of 1,100 acres and reportedly has secured 1.2 GW of power, with 200 MW deployed as of January 2025.

Lancium's Abilene Clean Campus is a state-of-the-art data center facility designed to support advanced computing applications, including bitcoin mining and high throughput computing for fields like medical research, video production, and vehicle design. Spanning over 1,000 acres, this campus leverages low-cost renewable energy to power its operations, contributing to the decarbonization and stability of the electric grid. The facility is equipped with Lancium's Smart Response™ technology, allowing it to adjust power consumption dynamically, thereby enhancing grid reliability. Additionally, the campus is expected to generate significant economic benefits for the local community, including job creation and increased local spending.

Crusoe Energy Systems LLC is set to establish a cutting-edge 200MW AI data center at the Lancium Clean Campus near Abilene, Texas. This facility represents the first phase in a larger plan to expand AI workloads across a 1.2 GW power capacity. The data center is designed to be a beacon of modern AI infrastructure, with high-density data halls optimized for direct-to-chip liquid cooling or rear-door heat exchangers, and the flexibility to incorporate air cooling.

The center will be powered by a multibillion-dollar investment and aims to operate up to 100,000 GPUs on a single integrated network fabric. This design is not only a leap forward in data center architecture but also in the scale of AI training and inference workloads it can support. Crusoe's collaboration with Lancium underscores a shared commitment to decarbonizing compute for energy-intensive workloads, leveraging local renewable energy sources to minimize environmental impact.

Expected to be energized by 2025, the data center is a testament to Crusoe's mission to align the future of computing with the future of the climate. By reducing both the costs and environmental footprint of digital expansion, Crusoe is paving the way for sustainable growth in the AI sector.
