Fermi America
secures final 6 GW Clean Air Permit for 11 GW BTM project in Texas....
Project Matador is an 11GW private power grid development led by Fermi America in partnership with the
Texas Tech University
System.
The project is designed as a behind-the-meter, large-scale generation platform intended to deliver dedicated, dispatchable power capacity for high-demand industrial users. With final 6GW air permitting now secured from the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
, the project now advances into construction, including mobilization and installation of secured
Siemens Energy
SGT-800 gas turbines, phased EPC execution, and build-out of on-site gas and supporting infrastructure.
At full build-out, the site is planned to support up to 11GW of natural gas generation, structured to meet accelerating load growth from AI infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, and large-scale electrification while limiting direct strain on the public grid.
"When it comes to responsible, scalable energy production, it's no surprise that Texas is leading the way," said
Toby Neugebauer
, Co-Founder and CEO of Fermi America.
"Securing the second largest Clean Air Permit in the country is yet one more significant milestone for our 11 GW private grid campus," said Fermi America Chief Communications Officer and Director of Strategic Initiatives,
Cathy Landtroop
