First natural gas turbines arrive for Fermi America’s 11GW data center campus in Texas

Fermi America, the company behind the up to 11GW data center campus planned for Amarillo, Texas, has taken delivery of six natural gas turbines and accompanying generators from Siemens Energy.

"We are moving at this pace because hyperscalers - and American consumers - demand reliable, world-class power yesterday," said Toby Neugebauer, Fermi America co-founder and CEO. "Sure, this is a testament to our team's unwavering drive to hit an aggressive power delivery timeline, but it's not just about moving heavy machinery; it's about a mission-critical commitment to our country's energy independence and national security, without our fellow Texans having to foot the bill."

Following the high-profile dropout, the company faced legal action from investors. At the start of the year, Fermi was hit with a class action lawsuit filed by Berger Montague PC. According to the lawsuit, the complaints arose after Fermi’s first tenant for its data center campus withdrew, which would have supported construction costs for the facility.
