Meta Signs 200-MW Solar PPA

Meta announced the company completed a second Environmental Attributes Purchase Agreement (EAPA) in 2024 for 200 MW of renewable energy and associated environmental attributes.

The social media company signed an agreement with ENGIE North America (ENGIE) for the supply of power from the Anson 2 solar project in Jones County, Texas, to further support Meta's growing power needs in line with its net zero goals.

Meta will purchase environmental attributes and energy from the facility, which is expected to commence operation in late 2025. The Anson 2 solar project was developed by ENGIE, which will also construct and operate the project located northwest of Abilene, Texas.

The 200 MW from Anson 2 will add to the more than 12 GW of renewable energy procurement already announced by Meta.

"We are delighted to be deepening our collaboration with ENGIE, making the clean energy transition a reality through the projects we are working on together," said Urvi Parekh, Global Head of Energy, Meta, in a statement.  "Since 2020 we have maintained net zero emissions in our global operations – these efforts are supported by relationships such as those with ENGIE with a strong track record of delivering and operating projects that support our operations, help meet our energy needs and implement our net zero goals."
