Meta Secures Nearly 800 MW of Renewable Energy to Power U.S. Data Centers
Mark Segal
June 27, 2025
Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp owner Meta and clean energy developer Invenergy announced that they have signed a series of agreements, providing Meta with nearly 800 MW of renewable energy from new wind and solar projects in the U.S. to support its operations and data center growth.
Under the new agreement, electricity from four new projects in Ohio, Arkansas, and Texas will deliver 791 MW of electricity to local grids, with Meta receiving clean energy credits associated with the new generation capacity. Three of the projects, including two solar energy centers in Ohio and one in Arkansas, are expected to begin commercial operations in 2027, with the Texas-based wind energy center coming online in 2028.
The agreement marks the latest in a series of clean energy deals between the companies, including an announcement late last year of an agreement to supply Meta with 760 MW. The new transaction brings the partnership to a total of 1,800 MW of renewable energy.
Ted Romaine, Invenergy’s Executive Vice President of Origination, said:
“Winning the AI race requires reliable, cleaner, affordable energy and energy infrastructure – today and in the future. We’re grateful for our continued relationship with Meta and look forward to future partnerships as we work to strengthen American energy independence and economic prosperity.”
Meta has set a target to reach net-zero emissions across its value chain by 2030. The company achieved its goal to meet 100% of its operational energy needs with renewable sources in 2020, and recently said that it anticipates adding 9.8 GW of renewable energy to local grids in the U.S. by the end of 2025.
Urvi Parekh, Meta’s Head of Global Energy, said:
“We’re laser-focused on advancing our AI ambitions—and to do that, we need clean, reliable energy. We’re grateful for Invenergy’s longtime partnership that helps us support our energy needs and implement our clean energy goals, and look forward to continued collaboration.”
