AMARILLO, Texas, Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Fermi America™, developing the world’s largest, behind-the-meter artificial intelligence private grid campus with the Texas Tech University System, has secured an agreement with Energy Transfer, one of the largest and most diversified midstream energy companies in North America, to deliver firm natural gas supply to Fermi’s HyperGrid™ campus located outside Amarillo, Texas. With approximately 140,000 miles of pipelines and associated energy infrastructure across 44 states, Energy Transfer is a trusted resource to deliver firm natural gas supplies to Fermi America’s 5,236-acre campus.
As part of the agreement, Fermi America will connect into Energy Transfer’s pipeline just south of the campus, accessing the natural gas required to better power the future of artificial intelligence (AI). This pipeline interconnection project is expected to be in service in Q1 2026 and requires minimal capital outlay by Fermi.
“What makes our Amarillo campus one of the top sites in the country for other clean sources of energy is that it was first an elite natural gas site,” stated Fermi America Co-Founder & CEO, Toby Neugebauer. “This agreement with Energy Transfer secures the firm natural gas supply necessary to generate our first two gigawatts of clean, reliable power for our AI data center customers.”
The Energy Transfer agreement furthers Fermi’s critical goal of bringing its significant balance of long-lead gas-fired generation supply chain assets secured earlier this year online, reiterating Fermi’s commitment to actionable timelines and velocity of execution.
