What this means for you

Nothing to act on unless you were planning to buy power from Boom. If you procure generation for data centres, note that a $1.25bn order has come off the near-term books with no stated cause, and it is not clear whether Boom's plants remain on offer to other buyers.

Crusoe has dropped a $1.25bn plan to buy stationary power plants from Boom Supersonic for its AI data centres. Boom chief executive Blake Scholl said the plants were no longer in Crusoe's near-term plans; he did not say whether the order is cancelled, delayed or reduced. No reason was given, and no revised timetable or replacement supplier was named. TechCrunch reported the decision on 25 September. It is the only source, so the size of the order and the stage it had reached cannot be checked independently.
