Earlier this week, Fermi Inc. (NASDAQ:FRMI) successfully raised $500 million in fresh funds through debt to MUFG Bank Ltd., one of the 10 largest financial groups globally, proceeds of which will be used to support the development of Project Matador, with the company targeting to deliver an initial 2.3 GW of power.

A huge chunk will be used for the acquisition of three F-class gas turbines from Siemens Energy, while the balance will be allocated for the repayment of existing loans, as well as the delivery, completion, and deployment of additional turbines within its fleet within the first half of the year.

“This financing puts real muscle behind our strategy—securing long-lead equipment early, staying ahead of the market, and executing with certainty,” said Fermi Inc. (NASDAQ:FRMI) CEO Toby Neugebauer.
