GE Vernova Inc., and Crusoe, the industry’s first vertically integrated AI infrastructure provider, have made a significant deal to deliver 29 units of GE Vernova’s breakthrough LM2500XPRESS aeroderivative gas turbine packages to Crusoe AI data centers. The 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.
Commenting on the order, Cully Cavness, Co-Founder, President and COO of Crusoe, said, “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. We’re building AI factories at record speed, and GE Vernova’s technology is a key enabler, significantly accelerating the path to energisation for our customers and partners.”
These aero units provide the flexibility and reliability of modern, efficient jet engines used by airlines around the world. 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 vapour and nitrogen, producing 90% lower emissions than traditional gas or diesel-powered reciprocating engines with little to no methane slip.
Focusing on their capability, Pablo Koziner, GE Vernova’s Chief Commercial and Operations Officer, said, “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.”
