Crusoe makes big battery buys for its data centers

Data center developer Crusoe is ramping up its energy storage capacity with battery buys from Form Energy and Redwood Energy.

The company said it will buy 12 gigawatt-hours of Form Energy’s 100-hour batteries. It’s the second large sale made by Form, which last month said it would build a 30 gigawatt-hour battery for Google in Minnesota. That deal was worth about $1 billion, according to The Information.
