Google announces first Wyoming data center with a US$17B investment
On 11/05/2026 Google (Steve Walter, VP Global Infrastructure and Energy) announced its first data center in Wyoming (Laramie County / Cheyenne), a long-term US$17 billion investment, partnering with Tallgrass Energy, Black Hills Energy, American Electric Power (AEP) and Related Digital. Highlight: an AEP contract for a first-of-its-kind commercial development of 702 MW in fuel cells with CCS — the largest of its kind planned so far; Bloom Energy cells (US); geologic capture/storage at Tallgrass's Eastern Wyoming Sequestration Hub. Google's contracted CCS total rises to nearly 1 GW. The DC will be air-cooled to cut water use. Google says it will pay for 100% of the energy used and cover infrastructure driven by growth.
