Fermi America™ and Siemens Energy Execute Letter of Intent for an Additional 1.1 GW (Once in Combined Cycle Mode) of Frame F Class Generation Equipment for 2026 Delivery and Enter Into Nuclear Collaboration as Fermi Continues to Advance its 11-Gigawatt Private AI Campus

• Fermi America Thanks President Donald J. Trump for Bold Leadership and Action
• Fermi's Gas Generation Equipment Secured or under LOI to Date Now Totals 2.0 GW of Combined Cycle Power at ISO Conditions, Scheduled for 2026 Delivery
• Siemens Energy Displays Strong U.S. Commitment Via Gas Turbine Allocation and Highlights its Broadening Nuclear Capabilities Via AP1000 Steam Turbine Collaboration

AMARILLO, Texas, Sept. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Fermi America, in partnership with the Texas Tech University System, is announcing two landmark letters of intent with Siemens Energy to secure 1.1 GW (at ISO conditions once in combined cycle mode) of Frame F Class Generation Equipment for 2026 delivery and collaborate on Siemens' flagship nuclear steam turbine technologies, in support of Fermi's 11-Gigawatt AI campus.

These agreements mark a major milestone in the fulfillment of President Donald J. Trump's promise to restore U.S. energy dominance and to ensure America wins the global race to power the future of artificial intelligence.

Under the first letter of intent, Siemens Energy will negotiate to deliver three F-class SGT6-5000F gas turbine units, producing up to 1.1 GW at ISO conditions once in combined cycle mode.  These turbines are proven, efficient, industrial-grade machines capable of highly reliable 24/7 base load applications.

"Winning the AI arms race doesn't just take software developers. It takes more electricity," said Chairman of the National Energy Dominance Council Doug Burgum. "This campus proves that we can integrate natural gas, nuclear energy, and artificial intelligence into a single, powerful ecosystem. Modern energy infrastructure isn't a luxury, it's the foundation of global leadership. By advancing President Trump's Energy Dominance Agenda, we're not just fueling America — we're powering the future of intelligence."

Fermi's campus was envisioned as a flagship example of the Trump administration's strategy: pairing advanced, reliable, quickly-deployable natural gas generation with nuclear power and modern infrastructure to ensure the U.S. can safely meet America's growing energy demand—particularly from AI and high-performance computing. With the new agreements, Fermi's gas generation equipment secured or under LOI to date now totals 2.0 GW of combined cycle power at ISO conditions, scheduled for 2026 delivery.  

"No one understands the global energy race better than Donald Trump," said former U.S Secretary of Energy and Fermi Co-Founder Rick Perry. "The Department of Energy, Department of the Interior, and Department of Defense are all working tirelessly to secure America's position in this AI race and to ensure that our private sector, with the strong support of this pro-energy administration, has what we need to lead the way in abundant, reliable, and innovative energy solutions."

"I want to thank President Trump for his strong leadership and action in clearing the path for companies like ours to help America win this race," added Toby Neugebauer, Fermi America CEO and Co-Founder. "Fermi America is doing what it takes 24/7 to build exactly what the President has asked for, highly reliable, unshakable, base load energy — through our 11 GW gas-bridged nuclear build. We understand the stakes are high and we are playing to win – because that's how America keeps its AI edge."

The second letter of intent furthers the two companies' collaboration on integrating Siemens' industry-leading steam turbines, generators, and control systems into Fermi's expanding nuclear power portfolio, which include the deployment of an expected four Westinghouse AP1000 reactors.

Siemens Energy brings deep expertise, demonstrated by several modernizations of turbines and generators at multiple nuclear plants.  Fermi and Siemens Energy will work closely to deliver nuclear generation with clean, efficient, robust performance.

This framework aligns with the Trump administration's executive orders to accelerate advanced nuclear deployment, streamline nuclear regulation, and ensure that the U.S. infrastructure needed for AI and data centers has the clean, reliable, always-on power that only nuclear and strategic redundancies can provide, without unnecessarily putting a strain on the public grid.

Not only do these agreements reinforce the administration's goal of U.S. energy dominance by expanding domestic, reliable, low-carbon power, they deliver on President Donald J. Trump's pledge to speed up nuclear licensing and regulation, rebuild the nuclear industrial base, and expand natural gas generation to meet the urgency of demand.
