Crusoe Abilene Campus (Microsoft)
Deep dive: Stargate Abilene: 1.2 GW, four of eight live
Operated by Crusoe at Crusoe Abilene Microsoft Campus .
Phase 1 seed dataset, compiled by hand. These rows were built from public operator, laboratory and vendor sources. A mechanical second-reader pass has since fetched every cited source: 1092 of 1153 systems have a readable citation that names them, and 40 are genuinely weakly sourced. Every claim carries its source and a confidence tier. Treat anything below verified as a lead, not a citation.

What this machine is made of
One row per supplier relationship. “Supplier at build” is the company that shipped the part at the time; where that company has since been acquired, the parent it rolls up to today is shown beside it. That distinction is what makes ticker-level aggregation possible across a thirty-year dataset.
| Role | Part | Supplier at build | Quantity | Confidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Integrator | - Designed, built and operated by Crusoe; two-building 900 MW AI Factory campus adjacent to the existing Lancium Clean Campus | Crusoe | - | Reported | crusoe.aidatacenterknowledge.com |
| Cooling | Direct liquid cooling, warm water Cooling Direct-to-chip cold plates, facility water loop · Removes 90+ percent of node heat to liquid Closed-loop non-evaporative liquid cooling | Crusoe | - | Reported | crusoe.ai |
| Power | - 900 MW behind-the-meter on-site power plant with battery energy storage | Crusoe | - | Reported | crusoe.ai |

The read
A second, physically distinct Crusoe campus in Abilene, announced in March 2026 and adjacent to the original Lancium Clean Campus that carries the stargate-abilene row (operated by Oracle for OpenAI): this new 900 MW campus of two buildings and its own on-site power plant is built AND operated by Crusoe itself, with Microsoft as the named capacity tenant, which is the gap this row is meant to close, since Crusoe's other row in this dataset lists Oracle rather than Crusoe as operator. Crusoe's own release and Data Center Knowledge's independent coverage agree on the 900 MW figure, the two-building design and the adjacency to the existing 1.2 GW site, bringing the combined Abilene campus to a stated 2.1 GW total. No accelerator hardware has been named by any source yet, and the first building is targeted for energization in mid-2027, so this row carries no FLOPS and stays at reported confidence pending an operator statement on the GPU generation.

Source check
We fetched this system's own citations and recorded whether each page actually mentions it. This is a corroboration signal, not a fact check, and it is published so you can see how well the sourcing holds up rather than take it on trust.
