Cheyenne to host massive AI data center using more electricity than all Wyoming homes combined

CHEYENNE, Wyoming: An artificial intelligence data center that would use more electricity than every home in Wyoming combined before expanding to as much as five times that size will be built soon near Cheyenne, according to the city’s mayor.

“It’s a game changer. It’s huge,” Mayor Patrick Collins said Monday.

With cool weather – good for keeping computer temperatures down – and an abundance of inexpensive electricity from a top energy-producing state, Wyoming’s capital has become a hub of computing power.
