Fermi America HyperGrid — Amarillo AI and power campus
A proposed 17 GW energy-and-compute campus deserves separate tracking of what is permitted, financed, contracted and actually built.
Project lifecycle
Current stage is based on the reviewed record and may change as new filings become public.
Fermi America describes a 7,570-acre Texas Panhandle HyperGrid campus with approximately 6 GW of a planned 17 GW permitted, generation assets secured and first-phase construction completed.
The campus combines data-center demand with gas, nuclear, solar, battery and grid infrastructure at a scale that could affect regional water, air permits, transmission, workforce, roads and emergency planning.
TCEQ air permits, NRC/nuclear filings, PUCT/ERCOT records, local development agreements, water plans, transmission projects, tenant announcements and construction milestones.
Which portions are fully permitted, financed, contracted and under construction, and what public infrastructure or incentive commitments support each phase?
Use permit sequencing, cumulative emissions review, water-supply verification, road and emergency planning, incentive performance terms and public disclosure of phased commitments.

TGW Insights
- A proposed 17 GW energy-and-compute campus deserves separate tracking of what is permitted, financed, contracted and actually built.
- Current stage: Construction underway; phased power development. Confidence label: Confirmed public record.
- The next useful evidence is likely to appear through tceq air permits, nrc/nuclear filings, puct/ercot records, local development agreements, water plans, transmission projects, tenant announcements and construction milestones.
This page summarizes the reviewed source. The source confirms only the facts stated in the record; later permits, agreements, construction, performance, or impacts require separate evidence.
Community impact lens
Watch electricity demand, generation or transmission needs, water and wastewater service, road access, emergency response, tax agreements, construction workforce, noise, and the difference between capital investment and permanent employment.
