The Texas Tech University System (TTU System) announced a collaboration with recently founded energy and technology company Fermi America to develop a large AI and energy campus near Amarillo in the Texas Panhandle. The Advanced Energy and Intelligence Campus will reportedly include “18 million square feet (1.67 million sqm) of data centers and generate up to 11GW of IT capacity from natural gas, solar, wind, and clean nuclear energy.”
“The Texas Tech University System is proud to partner with Fermi America on this historic endeavor,” said TTU System chancellor, Tedd L. Mitchell. “Texas is the energy capital of the world, and this campus will not only be the largest energy and data complex of its kind, but also a testament to the unshakable spirit of our system, the Texas Panhandle, and this great state.”
“The Chinese are building 22 nuclear reactors today,” added Perry. “We’re behind, and it’s all hands on deck. President Trump’s first executive order spoke to the energy issue and how we must continue to make America energy dominant. No one does energy better than Texas, and Fermi America and the Texas Tech University System are answering the call.”
