Crusoe Childress AI Data Center Campus
Overview
The Crusoe Childress campus is a planned AI infrastructure development announced by Crusoe and Lancium in July 2026. TYPE3’s map data supplies Childress, Texas, an approximate site pin, and a malformed “within Childress” address while marking the project announced with zero MW. The companies’ announcement gives the campus context: a 270-acre, grid-connected development intended to reach 1 GW at full scale, with Crusoe designing, building, and operating the AI data center and Lancium developing and managing the energy infrastructure.
The announcement describes construction expected in the third quarter of 2026, closed-loop non-evaporative liquid cooling, and energy storage. Lancium’s location page separately describes the Childress campus as under development and discusses a 1 GW interconnection. Interconnection, generation support, gross campus potential, critical IT load, and measured operating demand are separate fields; the announcement does not establish that 1 GW of IT load is energized today.
The evidence supports a planned Childress AI data-center campus with liquid cooling and large-load infrastructure. The 1 GW value is planned full-scale grid-connected capacity, while operating MW remains undisclosed at present. TYPE3’s map data coordinates are site-level and not parcel-verified, so they do not establish an exact public address. Later verified phases remain separate from the campus-level capacity figure.
Questions
How large is the Crusoe Childress campus?
Crusoe describes a planned campus intended to reach 1 GW of grid-connected capacity at full scale. That is not a verified current IT load.
Is the Childress campus operating?
No operating MW is established. The cited company materials describe a campus under development with construction expected in Q3 2026.
What cooling will the campus use?
Crusoe describes closed-loop, non-evaporative liquid cooling for the planned AI data center.

This state sits outside ERCOT and outside the survey. Sponsoring one funds the work of charting it — pulling its interconnection queue, large loads, and price data onto the map.
