Primoris has been awarded the engineering, procurement, and construction contract for the first six SGT-800 gas turbines at Fermi's power facility in Amarillo, Texas. The agreement covers the simple cycle phase of the Siemens 6x1 combined cycle generating facility, which is located adjacent to the Project Matador hyperscale computing and data center campus. This contract marks a significant step in the execution of Fermi's phase one power buildout strategy.
Project Scope and Execution Strategy
The partnership aims to compress timelines and de-risk the delivery of the power infrastructure. By securing proven contractors, Fermi intends to accelerate the conversion of project plans into physical infrastructure. The company emphasized that phase one is an active development rather than a future goal, focusing on immediate progress and on-the-ground momentum.
Prior Mobilization and Site Work
Primoris has already begun operations at the Project Matador site under previous work orders. The team completed the bathtub excavation for all six gas turbine power islands and has taken delivery of balance of plant materials. These materials are designated to support the ongoing underground utility installation, building upon a foundation of safety and craftsmanship.
| Project Component | Status |
|---|---|
| Gas Turbines | First six SGT-800 units |
| Facility Type | Siemens 6x1 combined cycle |
| Phase Scope | Simple cycle engineering, procurement, construction |
| Site Location | Adjacent to Project Matador, Amarillo, Texas |
| Excavation | Bathtub excavation completed for six islands |
| Material Delivery | Balance of plant material received |
What is the projected timeline for the completion of the simple cycle phase and the subsequent transition to the full combined cycle configuration?
How will the power capacity generated by these initial six turbines support the immediate energy requirements of the Project Matador hyperscale computing campus?
What specific risk mitigation strategies are being employed to ensure the accelerated timeline does not compromise safety or quality standards?
