The partnership marks a shift in Fermi’s 2.0 execution strategy, moving from planning to active site development. Primoris has already completed excavation for the six power islands and staged utility materials, providing a foundation that allows construction to proceed without the delays typical of a cold start. By securing this scope, Fermi intends to compress timelines for the simple cycle facility, ensuring the site moves toward full operational status.
Fermi Enlists Primoris for Amarillo Power Infrastructure Buildout
Fermi has tapped Primoris Services Corporation to engineer and construct the balance of plant for six SGT-800 gas turbines in Amarillo, Texas. This agreement advances the initial phase of the Project Matador campus, aiming to accelerate the delivery of infrastructure required to power large-scale computing and artificial intelligence operations.
Jacobo Ortiz, co-president of Fermi America, cited the quality of initial groundwork as the primary driver for the contract expansion. The project team is now tasked with integrating underground utilities, equipment foundations, and system tie-ins to connect the turbines into a cohesive grid. This infrastructure is central to the broader Project Matador development, which seeks to integrate natural gas, nuclear, and renewable energy to support hyperscale data centers.
