HOUSTON (July 1, 2026) – Holland & Knight represented Fermi America™ (Nasdaq & LSE: FRMI) in an agreement with Primoris Energy Services, part of Primoris Services Corporation, to engineer and construct the balance of plant for the first six SGT-800 gas turbines anchoring Fermi's phase one power buildout. The agreement covers the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) scope for the simple cycle phase of Fermi's Siemens 6x1 combined cycle generating facility, which will power the Project Matador hyperscale computing and data center campus in Amarillo, Texas. The agreement was announced on June 30.
The Project Matador campus is expected to integrate a large combined-cycle natural gas project, advanced nuclear power generation, utility grid power, solar power and battery energy storage to support hyperscale artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing at scale.
The balance of plant scope ties together the systems, structures and infrastructure that surround the gas turbine power islands and bring the facility to life, from underground utilities and equipment foundations to the tie-ins that connect the generating units into a single, dependable source of power for the Project Matador campus. Together, Fermi and Primoris will continue to advance the scope, schedule and execution plan toward a final engineering, procurement and construction agreement for the simple cycle phase.
Amarillo, Texas-based Fermi America™ develops next-generation private electric grids that deliver highly redundant power at gigawatt scale to support next-generation intelligence and AI compute.
Holland & Knight Partners Ram Sunkara and Jackson Allen led the Firm's representation of Fermi America™, with assistance from Associate Kitty Xie (M&A).
