Crusoe and Redwood Materials expanded the Nevada deployment from 4 to 24 modular Crusoe Spark data centres, increasing compute capacity almost sevenfold. The project reported 99.2% operating availability over seven months and uses Redwood storage systems built from second-life EV batteries.
Why it matters
The Crusoe-Redwood deployment shows that AI infrastructure is constrained by power as much as by GPUs. Second-life EV batteries are becoming a practical part of the data-centre stack.
What investors should watch
The useful metric is uptime: 99.2% availability matters more than the sustainability narrative alone.
