AI Data Center List

Fermi America Project Matador (HyperGrid)

AI data center in Amarillo area, Texas, operated by Fermi America.

Fermi America's private-grid AI campus beside Pantex near Amarillo, Texas, now projected at 17 GW. TensorWave signed a 15-year lease for the first 222 MW of AMD GPU capacity in August 2026, and the first gas turbines are on site.

Power: what each source says

Fermi (2026-08-10): campus expected to ramp to ~17 GW of private power, ~6 GW of it permitted. First lease: TensorWave, 222 MW total facility power in phase 1 with rights to 650+ MW over three phases, ~$6.5B over 15 years; phased delivery from H2 2027. AMD signed credit support for the first 222 MW IT deployment. First gas turbines delivered; gas, water and transmission lines installed (Fermi shareholder meeting, 2026-11-02). NRC staff supports a combined licence for four AP1000 reactors (2026).

Figures labelled Epoch AI are estimates from satellite imagery, permits and filings. Company figures come from the operator, owner or its filings. IT power is what the servers draw; in Epoch AI’s figures for these campuses it runs about 15–35% below total facility power.
