The 4.9 gigawatts of contracted capacity includes the flagship site of OpenAI and Oracle Corp.’s Stargate project in Abilene, Texas. The first two buildings are up and running and six more are under construction, for a total of 1.2 gigawatts, Crusoe said in a statement. A gigawatt is enough electricity to power about 750,000 US homes at any one time.

Crusoe declined to name the tenants for any of those projects or for the paused Wyoming site.
