Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp owner Meta and energy infrastructure provider NextEra Energy announced today a series of new clean energy deals, with the social media giant agreeing to purchase approximately 2.3 GW of solar power and over 165 MW of energy storage from new clean energy projects across the U.S.

The new contracts include power purchase agreements for 2.1 GW of energy from nine solar projects across Texas’ ERCOT, the Southwest Power Pool (SPP), and the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) markets, in addition to for agreements with New Mexico’s PNM market, including 190 MW of solar PPAs and 168 MW of battery storage.

Each of the new projects are scheduled to come online between 2026 and 2028. According to NextEra, the new projects are anticipated to create up to 2,440 construction jobs.

Brian Bolster, President and CEO of NextEra Energy Resources, said:

“As one of America’s largest energy infrastructure builders, NextEra Energy Resources is powering America’s technology growth with new energy infrastructure. The company has actively engaged with hyperscalers to support their data center operations and further drive America’s leadership. We are incredibly excited to grow our collaboration with Meta, one of America’s iconic companies.”

The new agreements mark the latest in a series of large-scale clean energy deals for Meta, including a recent deal with Engie to purchase 100% of the energy produced from a new $900 million solar project in Texas, and nearly 800 MW of deals announced in June from new wind and solar projects across Ohio, Arkansas, and Texas.

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, Head of Energy at Meta, said:

“We are proud to continue our collaboration with NextEra Energy Resources in advancing energy infrastructure and storage solutions. The integration of 2.1 GW across ERCOT, SPP and MISO, along with more than 350 MW from the three-way collaboration with PNM in New Mexico, to support our data center operations, demonstrate how industry cooperation can drive technological progress and strengthen America’s energy infrastructure.”
