Meta Platforms Signs for 760 MW Solar
Social media company Meta Platforms announced it signed four contracts for 760 megawatts of clean solar energy.
Meta signed Environmental Attribute Purchase agreements (EAPAs) with Chicago-based energy owner, operator and developer Invenergy. These new agreements bring Meta's total clean energy procurement from Invenergy to over 1 gigawatt.
“Surpassing the 1 gigawatt milestone in renewable energy procurement from Invenergy is a testament to Meta’s commitment to matching our growing power needs with clean energy,” said Urvi Parekh, Meta’s Head of Global Energy, in a statement. “We’re grateful for Invenergy’s long-term collaboration. These projects will help us continue our commitment to support all of our operations with 100% clean energy.”
Meta’s EAPAs are contracted through four Invenergy-developed facilities strategically located across the U.S. to meet soaring energy demand with domestically produced electricity. These solar energy centers include:
- Hardin II Solar (OH) - 150 MW – expected commercial operations 2024
- Delilah II Solar (TX) - 150 MW – expected commercial operations 2025
- Tip Top Solar (NM) - 110 MW – expected commercial operations 2026
- Chalk Bluff Solar (AR) - 350 MW – expected commercial operations 2027
The electricity from these projects will be delivered to the local grid, increasing regional reliability by delivering power to nearby homes and businesses while Meta receives clean energy credits for bringing new generation capacity online.
