Redwood Materials/Redwood Energy

Redwood and AI-cloud company Crusoe agreed to expand their Nevada site powering modular data centres from the world's largest second-life battery installation (12 MW, 63 MWh) to support 20 additional Crusoe Spark data centres, about 7x the original computing load. The first system ran at 99.2% availability since deployment.

• Nevada site features world's largest second-life battery installation: 12 MW/63 MWh of used EV batteries powering Crusoe data centres.
• Initial system delivered 99.2% operational availability since deployment, validating reliability for demanding data centre operations.
• Expanding to support 20 additional Crusoe Spark data centres, ~7x original compute capacity.
