Crusoe has added natural-gas turbines and battery storage to the power mix for its multibillion-dollar Project Goodnight data center development in the Texas Panhandle, according to newly amended Armstrong County tax abatement filings.

The change marks the evolution of a flagship project that Crusoe has since agreed to sell to Google, which is incorporating the site into its recently announced USD 40bn Texas investment program.

The new filings also omit further information about project plans, suggesting the schematics of the facility could be redrawn.

According to earlier tax abatement materials and prior NPM reporting, the site was conceived as a USD 29bn, two-phase, 1,030 MW AI data-center campus, with four buildings totaling up to 530 MW in Phase 1 and another 500 MW across three buildings in Phase 2.

The addition of natural gas turbines and battery storage expands the project’s earlier power strategy, which centered on wind and solar resources. In that vein, Brazil-based renewable energy developer Serena Energy has secured local tax abatements for more than 2.3 GW of wind and solar projects in the county.

In last week’s announcement, Google said its plans for Texas include 6.2 GW of new energy generation and capacity contracted through PPAs.

Google did not respond to requests for comment. Crusoe declined to comment.
