Crusoe, Redwood Materials Expand Nevada AI Data Center Deployment

Crusoe and Redwood Materials expanded their joint AI infrastructure deployment in Sparks, Nevada, building on a system first deployed in June 2025, according to a company announcement.

Crusoe, an AI infrastructure company, and Redwood Materials, a battery recycling and energy storage company, developed the site to combine modular data centers with a battery-powered microgrid designed for high-performance computing.

The initial deployment used modular data center units and second-life electric vehicle batteries to support AI workloads, including model training and inference.

The energy system is rated at 12 megawatts (MW) and 63 megawatt-hours (MWh), using repurposed batteries integrated into a microgrid alongside on-site solar power, according to Crusoe.
