Meta has entered into long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Treaty Oak Clean Energy, a U.S.-based independent power producer, to support two major utility-scale solar projects in Morehouse and Sabine Parishes, Louisiana a state well known for renewable energy establishment such as the Bayou Galion Solar Project in Northeast Louisiana. The agreements will deliver a combined 385 MWAC of renewable energy to the local grid, advancing Meta’s sustainability and clean energy goals.
Under these agreements, Meta will purchase the environmental attributes generated by the two solar facilities, ensuring that the clean energy produced helps offset its growing power needs, including those of its new AI data center in Richland Parish, Louisiana.
“Our partnership with Treaty Oak reflects Meta’s and Treaty Oak’s shared commitment to bringing new, additional clean energy to the local grid,” said Urvi Parekh, Meta’s Head of Global Energy. “When we announced our AI data center in Richland Parish last year, we committed to working with our partners to bring new energy to the grid – and this agreement with Treaty Oak does just that, while also contributing to local energy resilience and economic growth across Louisiana.”
Strengthening Louisiana’s Clean Energy Landscape
The partnership with Meta represents a significant milestone for Treaty Oak Clean Energy, which continues to expand its footprint in the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) Southern region.
“Our partnership with Meta marks a critical milestone for Treaty Oak and our commitment to support our customers’ growing clean energy needs in MISO’s Southern footprint,” said Rohit Ogra, Co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer of Treaty Oak. “Together with Meta, we’re strengthening local energy resilience, supporting economic development, and creating long-term value for the communities in which we operate in Louisiana.”
Beekman and Hollis Creek Solar Projects
The Beekman Solar Project in Morehouse Parish will deliver 185 MWAC of renewable energy, with commercial operations expected to begin in Q3 2027.
The Hollis Creek Solar Project in Sabine Parish will add another 200 MWAC, also scheduled for operation in Q3 2027.
Both projects are expected to collectively generate over $100 million in lifetime state and local tax revenue and create approximately 300 construction jobs at peak activity.
