Boom lost an order for 29 42-megawatt Superpower turbines totaling 1.21 GW, with first deliveries originally scheduled for 2027.

The order anchored Boom's new Superpower business. Boom had said ongoing turbine revenue would finance Overture certification and delivery, while Superpower operation would provide engine reliability data.
Did Crusoe abandon gas turbines altogether?
No. Crusoe told TechCrunch that it still plans to use turbines, just not Boom's.
What happens next for Boom's Superpower business?
Boom says it plans to deliver about 250 MW of Superpower capacity to other sites in 2027 and is targeting 1 GW in 2028. The customers for those planned deliveries were not identified in the TechCrunch report.
