Fermi America™, the developer behind what is set to become the world’s largest behind-the-metre artificial intelligence private grid campus in collaboration with the Texas Tech University System, has entered into an agreement with Energy Transfer, one of North America’s largest and most diversified midstream energy companies. Under the agreement, Energy Transfer will deliver firm natural gas supply to Fermi’s HyperGrid™ campus located outside Amarillo, Texas.
Energy Transfer operates approximately 140,000 miles of pipelines and related infrastructure across 44 states, making it a trusted provider of reliable energy delivery. The partnership ensures stable natural gas supplies for Fermi America’s 5,236-acre campus, which aims to redefine energy reliability and scalability for AI-driven operations.

As part of the agreement, Fermi America will connect directly to Energy Transfer’s pipeline just south of the campus, securing access to the natural gas required to power the next generation of artificial intelligence. The interconnection project is expected to enter service in the first quarter of 2026 and will require minimal capital investment from Fermi America.
Toby Neugebauer, Co-Founder and CEO of Fermi America, emphasised the strategic importance of the partnership: “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. 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 centre customers.”
The agreement represents another milestone in Fermi America’s mission to advance the HyperGrid™ campus and bring its gas-fired generation supply chain assets—secured earlier in the year—into operation. It also underscores the company’s continued commitment to rapid execution and measurable progress toward building a resilient, scalable energy ecosystem for AI and high-performance computing applications.
