Crusoe's 'across the meter' model turns stranded wind and solar power into AI compute
AccBalanced · x · 2026-10-07
Crusoe founder Chase Lochmiller argues AI data centers are catalyzing the largest investment in energy infrastructure ever seen. Crusoe's founding idea: bring compute where energy already exists, not the other way around. Its "across the meter" model converts stranded wind and solar power into AI compute and gives power back to the grid when possible, letting the grid and local ratepayers benefit with more available and ultimately cheaper energy.
