Fermi America and Doosan Enerbility Forge Strategic Nuclear Partnership to Propel Future Energy Solutions
AMARILLO, Texas — August 26, 2025 — In a significant step toward advancing energy solutions at the intersection of artificial intelligence and nuclear power, Fermi America, recognized as the world’s foremost energy-driven artificial intelligence private grid complex, has solidified a strategic partnership with Doosan Enerbility. This multinational corporation has been a leader in nuclear power plant components for four decades, amplifying the efforts of Fermi America in its comprehensive nuclear development strategy.
The culmination of this collaboration was formalized through a memorandum of understanding (MOU), which underscores both entities’ commitment to exploring a wide array of projects and technological integrations. This alliance places Doosan Enerbility among a distinguished consortium of nuclear energy pioneers collaborating with Fermi America, which includes partners such as the Texas Tech University System, Hyundai Engineering & Construction, and ASP Isotopes. Additionally, the expertise of seasoned nuclear professionals Mesut and Sezin Uzman, who have recently contributed to power facilities in the United Arab Emirates, further enriches this partnership.
Toby Neugebauer, Co-founder of Fermi America, enthusiastically remarked, “Doosan Enerbility is the largest and most respected nuclear power plant component supplier in the world. Their organizational values resonate significantly with our culture here at Fermi. We are committed to punctuality and budget adherence, and it is this operational velocity that we believe is essential for America to thrive in the global energy landscape.” Neugebauer’s commitment to excellence speaks not only to the expectations of his team but also to the growing necessity for efficient energy solutions as economies evolve and face unprecedented challenges.
Mesut Uzman, Chief Nuclear Commercial Officer at Fermi America, echoed Neugebauer’s sentiments, emphasizing the profound trust he places in Doosan’s capabilities. His longstanding experience with the organization guarantees a rigorous approach to delivering on complex projects, crucial to realizing Fermi America’s ambitious vision.
The MOU signed by Neugebauer and Jongdoo Kim, President of Doosan Enerbility, signals both companies’ intent to delve deeper into collaborative ventures across a spectrum of nuclear energy platforms. Specifically, there is a particular focus on small modular reactor (SMR) technologies, which promise to revolutionize energy generation with a power output capacity of up to 300 megawatts electric (MWe). SMRs distinguish themselves by enhancing safety and providing installation flexibility, a stark contrast to traditional, larger nuclear reactors often used in conventional power plants.
In a statement highlighting the positive trajectory of this partnership, Jongdoo Kim expressed confidence in its potential benefits: “We believe this relationship, grounded in mutual respect, will yield fruitful results for both our firm and Fermi America. Our successful history with Mesut Uzman positions us well as we embark on this pivotal project.”
Fermi America itself stands apart as a pioneer in the energy sector, being co-founded by Rick Perry, former U.S. Secretary of Energy, and Neugebauer. It occupies 5,200 acres of sovereign land under the Texas Tech University System, undertaking an ambitious initiative to establish the largest new nuclear power complex in the United States by 2032. Their endeavors include not only the nuclear component but also plans for constructing an expansive combined-cycle natural gas project, tapping into solar energy sources, and integrating advanced battery energy storage systems. The projected output totals an impressive 11 gigawatts of power and 15 million square feet dedicated to artificial intelligence development, marking a significant leap in energy innovation and technological convergence.
Fermi America’s strategy underscores a pressing need to address power stability and capacity as the nation transitions to more renewable and sustainable sources. The first gigawatt of natural gas power generation is anticipated to be online by the close of 2026, with a commitment to generate a further gigawatt each year for the subsequent decade.
As the energy landscape continues to evolve, collaborations such as that between Fermi America and Doosan Enerbility not only promise to yield advancements in nuclear technology but also set the stage for the development of smarter, more efficient energy solutions — a necessity for ensuring a sustainable future.
