Canada-based energy infrastructure company Enbridge announced a new $1.2 billion solar and battery energy storage (BESS) project in Wyoming to support tech giant Meta’s growing data center operations, expanding the companies’ clean energy partnership to approximately 1.6 GW of contracted capacity across North America.

According to the companies, the new Cowboy Project, located near Cheyenne, Wyoming, will combine 365 MW of solar generation capacity with a 200 MW/1600 MWh battery energy storage system, and is designed to deliver dispatchable power, improve grid resiliency, and support greater integration of renewable energy into the regional power system.

Under the agreement, Cheyenne Light, Fuel and Power (CLFP) will deliver the project’s power to Meta through Wyoming’s Large Power Contract Service (LPCS) tariff, which enables utilities to provide renewable and market-based energy options to large-load customers such as data centers without impacting retail electricity rates. The BESS capacity will be contracted under a long-term, battery tolling agreement with CLFP under the same LPCS tariff, with electric vehicle maker Tesla supplying and servicing the batteries.

Meta, the owner of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, ranked as the largest corporate clean energy offtaker globally in 2025, according to a recent report by BloombergNEF, contracting 10.24 GW in the year. The company has set targets to reach net-zero emissions across its value chain by 2030, and to continue to match 100% of the electricity used in its data centers and offices with renewable energy.

Amanda Yang, Head of Clean and Renewable Energy, Meta said:

“We’re committed to supporting projects that add new energy to the grid while strengthening reliability in our data center communities. In partnership with Enbridge and Cheyenne Light, Fuel and Power, the Cowboy Project’s 1600 MWh battery system paired with 365 MW of solar, will deliver flexible, reliable power that benefits the broader grid, including our data center operations.”

The first phase of the project is part of Enbridge’s broader power portfolio supporting Meta, including Clear Fork Solar (600 MW), Easter Wind (152 MW), and Cone Wind (300 MW), all located in Texas, with the new project expected to enter service by the end of 2027, the companies said.

Allen Capps, Enbridge’s Senior Vice President of Corporate Strategy and President of its power business said:

“By integrating utility-scale solar with battery storage, we’re delivering reliable, scalable energy solutions that support Meta’s data center operations while strengthening grid performance.”
