Crusoe agrees to buy 12 GWh of iron-air batteries for AI data centres, deliveries from 2027

Form Energy/Iron-air multi-day battery

Crusoe agreed to buy 12 GWh of Form Energy's iron-air batteries for its AI data centres, with deliveries from 2027 from Form Factory 1 in Weirton, West Virginia. Multi-day storage lets data centres rely less on the grid by storing cheap renewable power for long stretches.

• Crusoe secured reserved volume, pricing, and delivery terms for 12 GWh of multi-day iron-air storage beginning in 2027.
• Iron-air batteries store energy for days, allowing data centres to load-shift renewable power and reduce grid dependence during demand peaks.
• The agreement demonstrates early commercial traction for long-duration storage, critical infrastructure for grid reliability as electrification accelerates.
