FRMI• Project Matador power and infrastructure plans
- Fermi issued a community clarification on its Carson County “Project Matador” energy, water, emissions, and infrastructure plans.
- Project designed to generate the substantial majority of electricity on-site “behind the meter,” limiting reliance on the public grid.
- Phase 1 expected to run primarily on natural gas; longer-term plan adds nuclear and solar, with parts of a nuclear license under NRC review.
- Water use framed as capped under Panhandle groundwater rules at one acre-foot per contiguous acre per year, with metering enforcement.
- Company cited a firm water contract equal to about 0.13% of total Texas Panhandle water use, targeting 80% lower cooling water demand.
