In-Depth Unit Economics Analysis per MW
Cruseo CEO, Lochmiller, provides a meticulous analysis of inputs and outputs, highlighting April 2025 contract pricing and strategic insights.
The initial investment required is approximately $59 million per MW of developed capacity.
About half of this cost, around $30 million, is allocated to IT infrastructure (including GPU, CPU, networking, storage, etc.).
The remaining funds cover essential data center construction, power generation plants, and other vital infrastructure.
Annual revenue from the pure infrastructure lease/IaaS layer can reach $15 million per MW.
Additionally, premium managed services and cloud offerings can contribute over $15 million in revenue per MW.
Annual operating costs are estimated at only $1-$1.1 million per MW (including power and miscellaneous expenses).
The result is a net revenue generation of over $1 million per year for each MW developed in pure infrastructure, with attractive profit margins on optimal layers. The payback period for the infrastructure alone is appealing at around 4 years.
