Prometheus Hyperscale drops its 1.2 GW gas-powered campus plan near Casper, Wyoming, while the landowner says work will continue
What changed
Prometheus Hyperscale has decided not to pursue a data centre project in Natrona or Converse counties, president Trevor Neilson told WyoFile, as reported by DCD. The 940-acre, 1.2 GW site announced in October 2025 was to use natural gas power from Orchard Power with carbon capture, and no building permits had been filed. Landowner Falls Ranch says development will continue through a new company. Prometheus says it remains focused on its Evanston campus in Uinta County and projects in Texas.
