Black Hills Signs Long-Term Agreements to Supply Google Data Center in Cheyenne

Black Hills Corp. announced definitive agreements with Google, effective September 30, 2026 and extending through 2048, to provide energy for a planned Google data center in Cheyenne. Black Hills says it will provide up to 590 MW of grid-connected service and manage approximately 2.1 GW of additional Wyoming-based third-party resources through a private microgrid. The company plans approximately $1.8 billion of investment in 564 MW of new natural-gas generation between 2027 and 2029 and expects the overall project to contribute approximately $150 million in net income in 2030.
