Fermi America and Doosan Enerbility Forge Strategic Alliance in Nuclear Energy Sector
AMARILLO, Texas — August 26, 2025 — In a significant maneuver poised to reshape the landscape of nuclear energy, Fermi America, recognized as the world’s premier energy-driven artificial intelligence (AI) private grid complex, has formalized a strategic partnership with Doosan Enerbility, the largest global supplier of nuclear power plant components. This collaboration, encapsulated in a memorandum of understanding (MOU), underscores a mutual commitment to advancing nuclear technology and energy solutions that align with Fermi America’s long-term development strategy.
As part of this partnership, Doosan Enerbility joins an impressive roster of collaborators, which includes esteemed entities such as the Texas Tech University System, Hyundai Engineering & Construction, ASP Isotopes, and notable nuclear experts Mesut and Sezin Uzman, who have recently concluded projects involving nuclear power facilities in the United Arab Emirates. The breadth of expertise that this coalition brings reflects a robust commitment to enhancing the efficiency and safety of nuclear power generation at a pivotal time for the industry.
Toby Neugebauer, Co-founder of Fermi America, articulated the significance of this alliance, stating, “Doosan Enerbility is the largest and most respected nuclear power plant component supplier in the world. The synergy between Korean values and the ethos prevalent here in Texas — where commitments are honored and projects are executed with precision — is essential for the success of our ventures.” This sentiment captures the spirit of collaboration that underlies their shared vision for a sustainable energy future.
Mesut Uzman, Chief Nuclear Commercial Officer at Fermi America, echoes this enthusiasm, stating, “Having collaborated with Doosan for several years, I have witnessed their unparalleled expertise in delivering complex projects on time and within budget. Their involvement will be crucial as we strive to turn our vision for Fermi America into reality.” This sentiment further emphasizes the confidence that Fermi America places in Doosan’s capabilities, which are bolstered by a track record of successful nuclear projects.
The MOU, signed by Neugebauer and Doosan Enerbility President Jongdoo Kim, aims to explore avenues for collaboration that extend beyond traditional nuclear power plants. The partnership seeks to delve into emerging technologies such as small modular reactors (SMRs), which present several advantages including enhanced safety, flexibility in installation, and manageable power outputs not exceeding 300 MWe. Such advancements hold promise for a more resilient and adaptable energy infrastructure.
“We are optimistic about this partnership based on mutual appreciation and respect for each other’s expertise,” stated Jongdoo Kim. “Our history of successful nuclear projects in collaboration with Mesut Uzman reinforces our confidence in pursuing new opportunities with Fermi America.” This forward-thinking approach signifies an alignment of interests that could potentially catalyze a new era of nuclear innovation.
Fermi America, established by former U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry and entrepreneur Toby Neugebauer, is undertaking the ambitious goal of constructing the largest nuclear power complex in the United States on 5,200 acres of land belonging to the Texas Tech University System. The company has secured its position as a pioneer by being the first to file a combined operating license application with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The initiative aims to address the nation’s growing power demand while integrating up to 11 gigawatts of energy from various sources, including a combined-cycle natural gas project and substantial solar power facilities.
The initial phase of this project foresees the launch of the first gigawatt of natural gas power generation by the end of 2026, with an ambitious progression of one gigawatt introduced annually over the subsequent decade. This commitment not only aims to meet the increasing energy demands of the nation but also endeavors to support the burgeoning challenge of integrating artificial intelligence into energy solutions, thus creating the infrastructure needed for next-generation technological advancements.
The Fermi America initiative and its collaboration with Doosan Enerbility resonate strongly within the broader context of global energy strategies, particularly at a time when transitions to sustainable and innovative energy solutions are becoming imperative. As energy needs evolve, partnerships like this signal a forward-thinking approach essential for addressing the complexities of modern energy demands.
