Crusoe, an AI data centre startup, has cancelled its agreement to purchase 29 stationary power plants from Boom Supersonic. The deal, valued at $1.25 billion, would have seen Crusoe use Boom's 42-megawatt Superpower turbines, with deliveries initially scheduled to begin in 2027.
Boom Supersonic CEO Blake Scholl confirmed the termination of the launch partnership, stating that turbines are no longer part of Crusoe's near-term primary power mix. Crusoe spokesperson Andrew Schmitt confirmed the company is no longer doing business with Boom, noting that it chooses energy solutions based on each site's evolving needs, including turbines, wind, solar, batteries, and the grid.
Boom Supersonic, which is also developing a supersonic passenger jet, had launched a new business last year to sell a version of its jet engine as natural gas-fired stationary power plants. The company aims to deliver about 250MW of Superpowers next year to other sites and targets 1GW in 2028.
