Meta has entered four new agreements with leading clean energy developer Invenergy to secure an additional 791 megawatts (MW) of solar and wind power, reinforcing its commitment to powering its expanding data center operations with renewable sources.
The latest deal nearly doubles Meta’s previous clean energy portfolio with Invenergy, bringing the total capacity to 1,800 MW, as the company ramps up infrastructure to meet the soaring power demands of artificial intelligence.
The new projects, slated for activation between 2027 and 2028, include Yellow Wood Solar (300 MW) and Pleasant Prairie Solar (140 MW) in Ohio, Decoy Solar (155 MW) in Arkansas, and Seaway Wind (196 MW) in Texas. Although the electricity generated will be distributed through regional grids, Meta will retain the renewable energy credits (RECs), allowing the tech giant to report the usage as part of its carbon reduction strategy.
Beyond the environmental impact, the collaboration promises economic dividends, with new jobs and community investments expected across project locations. Ted Romaine, Invenergy’s Executive Vice President of Origination, highlighted the significance of the alliance, stating that reliable, clean energy is crucial for the future of AI and national energy independence. Meta’s energy strategy also includes a 20-year nuclear energy deal with Constellation Energy and a geothermal venture with XGS Energy, reflecting a diversified approach to zero-carbon power.
Urvi Parekh, Meta’s Head of Global Energy, emphasized the company’s urgent need for dependable clean energy to fuel its AI ambitions. The move signals a broader shift in the tech industry toward long-term, sustainable energy procurement that blends solar, wind, nuclear, and geothermal power. With its ongoing investments in infrastructure, Meta not only advances its sustainability goals but also helps drive American innovation and local economic resilience.
