Fermi Announces First Siemens Turbines Arrive at Port of Houston21.7.2026 22:30:00 CEST | Press release
Arrival marks an important milestone in the development of Fermi's Project Matador SGT6-5000F natural gas turbines will anchor what is expected to be the nation's largest combined-cycle natural gas project DALLAS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / July 21, 2026 / Fermi Inc. (NASDAQ:FRMI)(LSE:FRMI), operating as Fermi America™ ("Fermi" or the "Company"), today announced the arrival of three Siemens Energy SGT6-5000F natural gas turbines at the Port of Houston. Together, the three turbines are rated at up to 780 megawatts in simple-cycle mode. They are bound for Fermi's Project Matador, an advanced energy and AI campus near Amarillo, Texas. This marks one of the project's largest single power-equipment moves, and it keeps Fermi well ahead of competitors in bringing gigawatt-scale power online. The delivery is the latest in a fast run of milestones. Over the past couple of weeks, Fermi selected TSK, Spain's largest power-focused EPC firm, for early works on its phase-two turbines and brought in Prim
