Fermaca Targets 60MW of AI Capacity in Mexico as First Local Nvidia Cloud Partner

The rollout starts at a site called Fermaca Digital Origins in Mexico City. Its first cluster will use Nvidia's Blackwell Ultra chips, and the company's roadmap includes Nvidia's next-generation Vera Rubin platform. Fermaca said the 60MW target refers to total facility power for operating AI facilities by December 31, 2027, which covers computing, cooling and supporting systems as well as the servers themselves.

Nvidia Cloud Partner status lets a company sell computing built on Nvidia's reference designs. Having a local partner gives Mexican businesses and government bodies a source of advanced AI computing inside the country, where until now most have rented capacity from US-based clouds. The company said its plans have the backing of federal, state and municipal authorities and fit with Plan México, the federal government's industrial strategy.

The Mexico City build is a much smaller first step than Fermaca's best-known project. The company described Fermaca Digital City, a campus in the state of Durango, as a longer-term ambition of up to 1 gigawatt of IT capacity, which counts computing equipment only. Earlier descriptions of the Durango project differ. BNamericas reported previously that the Durango state congress had approved the donation of 50 hectares of land for a project of 250MW that would use Nvidia technology and create 1,000 direct jobs. Fermaca has not given a total investment figure for either site.

Fermaca's main business is natural gas pipelines and energy infrastructure. Its pitch to AI customers rests on that background: in a field where getting power to large data centres has become the main constraint, it is building around its own energy assets. The release referred to the company's gas and energy infrastructure only in general terms and did not say how the Mexico City site will be powered.

Nvidia's Marcio Aguiar, director of enterprise for Latin America, said that as a cloud partner Fermaca "is building an AI factory powered by NVIDIA B300 NVL72 systems". Taiwan's Inventec will supply the computing systems and storage company DDN will provide data storage, while Fermaca develops and runs the infrastructure. "Fermaca is investing in Mexico's capacity to produce intelligence," said Fermaca's Manuel Calvillo. Paul Bloch, a co-founder of DDN, said Fermaca was "connecting the infrastructure that powers industry with the infrastructure that will power intelligence".

Fermaca is also running a training programme with Nvidia, México Aprende IA con Fermaca y NVIDIA, which started in Durango and teaches AI skills to university lecturers.

The company has not said when the first Mexico City capacity will go live within the period to the end of 2027.
