·    6 SGT-800 Gas Turbines Will Provide Approximately One Third of the
First Gigawatt of Power Produced at Project Matador

·    Gas Turbine Power Equipment Required 160+ Ton Crane and Over 36
Oversized/Heavy Lifts

·    Transport to Site Will Require Over 400 Specialized Container Chassis
Semi-Truck Loads to Deliver Equipment

 

(Amarillo, Texas) February 9, 2026 - Fermi Inc. (d/b/a Fermi America) (Nasdaq
& LSE: FRMI), operating as Fermi America™ (https://fermiamerica.com/) ,
in partnership with the Texas Tech University System, today announced the
arrival of Project Matador's first six Siemens Energy SGT-800 natural gas
turbines and their accompanying generators-marking a major milestone in the
natural gas power delivery schedule for the private energy campus.

As AI and advanced computing rapidly expand across the United States, one
issue is becoming unavoidable: power. The grid cannot deliver enough reliable
electricity at the scale and speed the market demands. Project Matador was
built to solve that problem with a diversified, on-site generation platform
combining clean natural gas, new nuclear, battery energy storage, and solar
into one private grid. Located in Amarillo, Texas, in the Texas Panhandle, the
campus is designed to deliver massive-scale, always-on power for the next
generation of AI compute.

The project remains on an accelerated schedule. These high-efficiency Siemens
gas units are a critical part of Fermi's power timeline. Once operational,
these generators will make up roughly one-third of the first gigawatt of power
Fermi America ™ will supply. The equipment arrived at the Port of Houston on
seven vessels coming from four different countries.

"We are moving at this pace because hyperscalers-and American consumers-demand
reliable, world-class power yesterday. Sure, this is a testament to our team's
unwavering drive to hit an aggressive power delivery timeline, but it's not
just about moving heavy machinery; it's about a mission-critical commitment to
our country's energy independence and national security, without our fellow
Texans having to foot the bill," said Toby Neugebauer, Fermi America
Co-Founder and CEO.

SGT-800s offer world-class efficiency and reliability, ensuring that the
natural gas component of Fermi America's 11 GW private energy campus is
delivered with maximum operational flexibility and a reduced carbon footprint.

) is pioneering the development of next-generation private electric grids that
deliver highly redundant power at gigawatt scale, required to create
next-generation artificial intelligence. Co-founded by former U.S. Energy
Secretary Rick Perry, and Co-founder and former Co-Managing Partner of Quantum
Energy, Toby Neugebauer, Fermi America™ combines cutting-edge technology
with a deep bench of proven world-class multi-disciplinary leaders to create
one of the world's largest, next-gen private grids with a projected 11GW of
power. The behind-the-meter Project Matador campus is expected to integrate
the nation's biggest combined-cycle natural gas project, one of the largest
clean, new nuclear power complexes in America, utility grid power, solar
power, and battery energy storage, to deliver hyperscaler artificial
intelligence at scale, without burdening American ratepayers.

About the Texas Tech University System

Established in 1996, the Texas Tech University System is one of the top public
university systems in the nation, consisting of five universities - Texas Tech
University, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Angelo State
University, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso and
Midwestern State University.

Headquartered in Lubbock, Texas, the TTU System is a more than $3 billion
enterprise focused on advancing higher education, health care, research and
outreach with approximately 21,000 employees and 64,000 students, more than
400,000 alums, a statewide economic impact of $19.2 billion and an endowment
valued at $3 billion. In its short history, the TTU System has grown
tremendously and is nationally acclaimed, operating at 20 academic locations
in 16 cities (15 in Texas, 1 international).

In addition, the TTU System is one of only nine in the nation to offer
