Fermi America signs agreements to help design and supply reactors for an 11 GW data‑centre campus in Amarillo, Texas. The first was struck with Doosan Enerbility, a South Korean nuclear equipment firm. The deal is a follow-up on a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed earlier this year.
The agreement focuses to initiate the production of critical, long-lead-time nuclear equipment (reactor pressure vessels and steam generators) to support the deployment of four planned Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear reactors, which the company plans to install at the data center campus.
The second deal was struck with Hyundai Engineering & Construction (E&C), which followed an earlier MoU signed this year.
The Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract will see Hyundai commence engineering work on the four reactors for the data center. A complete engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) agreement is expected to follow in early 2026.
Fermi America’s Project Matador is one of the most ambitious data‑centre developments announced so far. It’s being built in partnership with the Texas Tech University System, on land owned by the university.
Executive Statement
According to Toby Neugebauer, co-founder and CEO of Fermi America, Doosan Enerbility and Hyundai E&C have been waiting for an American company to stop power pointing about nuclear and start building it. Their firm commitment to Fermi America positions them for action, leveraging their track record of success to build clean, new nuclear power at the velocity and scale the President demands and the US requires.
