Crusoe Terminates $1.25B Deal with Boom Supersonic for Superpower Turbines
Denver-based AI data center startup Crusoe has canceled its plan to use stationary power plants developed by Boom Supersonic, a fellow Denver company working on supersonic jet technology. The deal involved purchasing 29 of Boom’s 42-megawatt Superpower turbines for $1.25 billion, with initial deliveries scheduled for 2027. However, the partnership has now been terminated according to Boom CEO Blake Scholl. Crusoe confirmed it is no longer proceeding with the deal but emphasized its commitment to using innovative energy sources across new AI campuses nationwide. While turbines remain an option in their portfolio, they are not currently a priority for Crusoe’s power mix. The cancellation represents a setback for Boom Supersonic as it seeks to commercialize its stationary turbine business and fund development of its Overture supersonic jet. Boom remains optimistic about future partnerships and plans to deliver 250MW of Superpower turbines in the coming year, with ambitions reaching up to 1GW by 2028. The company expressed gratitude for Crusoe’s early support while acknowledging that the partnership no longer aligns with current strategic goals.
