GE Vernova, Crusoe power AI data centers with 29 gas turbines

GE Vernova Inc. and Crusoe, the industry’s first vertically integrated AI infrastructure provider, today announced a significant deal to deliver 29 units of GE Vernova’s breakthrough LM2500XPRESS aeroderivative gas turbine packages to Crusoe AI data centers.

The announced order of 19 units, booked in June 2025, builds on the first series of 10 units Crusoe ordered in December 2024, and combined, is expected to provide nearly 1GW of electricity. These orders highlight GE Vernova’s ability to provide flexible and efficient power to energy intense data centers supporting AI applications.

"AI's exponential growth demands rapidly deployable power solutions. Crusoe’s capabilities as an energy-first digital infrastructure builder have positioned us well to take the issue of power into our own hands by rapidly building and operating power plants alongside AI datacenters. With their flexible and efficient technology, GE Vernova power generation equipment was an ideal choice to enable power plant strategies across Crusoe’s growing datacenter development portfolio," said Cully Cavness, co-founder, president and COO of Crusoe. “We’re building AI factories at record speed, and GE Vernova’s technology is a key enabler, significantly accelerating the path to energization for our customers and partners.”

These aero units provide the flexibility and reliability of modern, efficient jet engines used by airlines around the world thousands of times per day. Just like the throttle of an airplane, these units can ramp up and down rapidly. The already low emissions from these units are further reduced by SCR technology. This technology removes emissions through a catalytic converter transforming nitrogen oxides into water vapor and nitrogen, producing 90% lower emissions than traditional gas or diesel-powered reciprocating engines with little to no methane slip.

“This project clearly illustrates our ability to provide the right solutions for data centers and power applications of all sizes and scales,” said Pablo Koziner, GE Vernova’s Chief Commercial and Operations Officer. “From a single aero unit producing ~35 megawatts to this 29-unit project, to our industry leading HA heavy duty gas turbines to small modular nuclear reactors, we have the full suite of generation options to help meet today’s and tomorrow’s energy needs.”




LM2500XPRESS units
The LM2500XPRESS units are engineered for swift and straightforward site installation, with 95 percent factory assembly into simplified modules. A single 35-megawatt LM2500XPRESS aero unit has a higher power density, reliability and availability when compared to other technologies in prime or standby applications and the capacity to offer savings on real estate, switchgear, transformers, and overall site footprint. Each of GE Vernova’s LM2500XPRESS, dual fuel, power packages is comprised of a LM2500* aeroderivative gas turbine, gas compressor, and emissions control system, and is capable of starting independent of the power grid with five-minute fast start capability.
