Crusoe Energy has abandoned plans to deploy Boom Supersonic's stationary power plants at its AI data centers. The decision removes the $1.25 billion project from Boom's near-term roadmap.
Boom Supersonic CEO Blake Scholl confirmed the shift, indicating that Crusoe no longer intends to use Boom's power generation technology in the immediate future.
The partnership had aimed to leverage Boom's turbine technology to power Crusoe's data center operations. The energy company has been exploring alternative power solutions for its AI infrastructure as the sector demands increasing amounts of electricity.
Boom Supersonic, best known for developing supersonic aircraft, has been diversifying into stationary power generation. The company positions its turbines as a solution for industrial power needs.
The cancellation reflects shifting priorities at Crusoe or potential technical or economic considerations around Boom's technology timeline. Data center operators continue seeking innovative power solutions to meet growing AI computing demands while managing energy costs and supply constraints.
