Plans for an Amarillo- based “first-of-its-kind behind-the-meter Hyper- Grid campus” have been unveiled in a project led by former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, in partnership with Texas Tech University (TTU).

Fermi America shared plans last week for its 5,769-acre “nuclear power complex” that will host a natural gas project and utility power grid in order to “deliver next-generation artificial intelligence.” It is “expected to be the world’s largest energy- driven Artificial intelligence complex.”

“The Chinese are building 22 nuclear reactors today to power the future of AI,” Perry stated in a press release. “America has none. We’re behind, and it’s all hands on deck.”
