Fermi Selects TSK to Advance Engineering for Texas Power Project

Fermi America has selected Spanish engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor TSK to provide early works engineering and project management services for three Siemens SGT6-5000F gas turbines that will form the backbone of the second phase of its Project Matador development in Texas.

Under the agreement, TSK will carry out engineering and management work needed to advance permitting, support site mobilization, and oversee the Siemens contract-related engineering scope. The company said the work is intended to shorten development timelines, reduce execution risk, and keep the project on track for future power generation.

TSK, Spain's largest power-focused EPC contractor, has experience delivering industrial and energy infrastructure projects in more than 50 countries. The company specializes in turnkey power generation, electrical infrastructure, and industrial facilities.

Fermi executives said the agreement marks another step in advancing Project Matador, with Vice President of Construction Chad Ingersoll highlighting TSK's role in accelerating permitting and coordinating engineering activities alongside Siemens.

Project Matador is Fermi America's flagship behind-the-meter power campus designed to supply electricity directly to hyperscale artificial intelligence and advanced computing facilities. The company plans to develop a private energy system capable of producing up to 17 GW through a combination of combined-cycle natural gas generation, nuclear power, grid electricity, solar generation and battery energy storage.

The three Siemens SGT6-5000F gas turbines are expected to anchor the project's second development phase, providing dispatchable generation while longer-term energy infrastructure is built out. The announcement reflects the broader trend of technology and infrastructure developers investing in dedicated power assets as surging AI-driven electricity demand reshapes North American energy markets.
