AMARILLO, Texas (KAMR/KCIT) — Fermi America announced a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with MVM EGI Zrt. to engineer and develop a cooling system for Fermi’s 11-gigawatt private energy grid campus.
According to officials from Fermi America, the agreement is a step forward in delivering “reliable, clean energy at scale, while being good stewards of the region’s natural resources.” Officials add that Fermi America and MVM EGI will partner under the MOU on preliminary engineering and feasibility studies for a series of indirect hybrid cooling towers that will support Project Matador’s 6 gigawatts of combined-cycle natural gas generation and four AP1000 nuclear units.
“MVM EGI has been on the cutting-edge of power cooling for more than half a century maintaining the heritage of our founders, Professor László Heller and Professor László Forgó whom the high-capacity water-saving dry cooling systems are named after worldwide,” said Péter Kárpáti, MVM EGI P.L.C. CEO. “We are pleased to partner with Fermi America, the world’s largest private utility, to ensure efficient and responsible cooling of their gas generation and nuclear power in the panhandle of Texas in line with our motto: Less water, more power.”…
