Black Hills signs Google data center power deal, plans $1.8B spend
In short
Black Hills Corp said on Tuesday that it signed agreements to power a proposed Google data center in Cheyenne, Wyoming. It also plans to spend $1.8 billion from 2027 to 2029 on new generation.
This matters because the investment is tied to electricity for Google’s project. The report does not say whether the data center has final approval or how much power it will ultimately need.
What the reporting says
Black Hills Corp said on Tuesday that it signed agreements to power a proposed Google data center in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and plans to spend $1.8 billion from 2027 to 2029 on new generation. The reporting ties the investment to supporting the project’s electricity needs. What remains unknown is the final scale, timing and approval status of the data center itself.
Why it matters
Black Hills Corp said it signed agreements to supply power for a proposed Google data center in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and plans to invest $1.8 billion from 2027 to 2029 in new generation. That suggests a large utility build-out tied to a single customer project. The reporting does not give the contract value, project approvals or construction schedule beyond those dates.
