Meta Signs 595 MWac Solar EAPAs

Meta has enabled the construction of four new solar energy projects in Texas to support its data center operations. 

The social media company expanded its clean energy relationship with Zelestra, a global multi-technology renewable energy company.

Under the Environmental Attributes Purchase Agreements  (EAPAs), the newly signed projects will deliver electricity into the ERCOT grid with the clean energy supporting Meta’s data center operations in Hopkins, Lamar, Lampasas and Henderson counties.

“We are excited to announce these solar projects with Zelestra,” said Urvi Parekh, Head of Global Energy at Meta, in a statement. “The renewable energy from these projects will support our data center operations, as well as our ongoing efforts to match our electricity usage with 100% clean and renewable energy.”    

Zelestra has nearly 6.6 GWdc of renewables projects under development in several states.
