Google has formally announced its first Wyoming data center, planned for Cheyenne in Laramie County as part of a $17 billion commitment in the state. The company did not disclose capacity, though earlier reports suggest it could total up to 2.7GW. Power will come from a 702MW natural gas fuel cell project with carbon capture and storage, under a Power Purchase Agreement signed with AEP last month; Bloom Energy will supply the fuel cells, and the captured CO2 will be stored at Tallgrass's Eastern Wyoming Sequestration Hub. The campus will sit on a 716-acre parcel in the Switchgrass Industrial Park, with four data halls planned and construction slated to finish by 2031.
The project pairs a hyperscale campus with gas-fired fuel cells and a CCS plan, and Google says it will pay for 100 percent of the power it uses. Google also has a FEED study underway to evaluate adding CCS to Tallgrass's combined cycle turbines. The campus adds to a Cheyenne cluster that already includes Microsoft, Meta and a $1.2bn Related Digital project for CoreWeave.
The headline names Google, a $17bn figure and a specific US site (Cheyenne, Wyoming), which makes this a major new campus announcement. It ranked first on dollar scale and US location, and it does not overlap with anything already published.
