Meta Platforms Inc. has power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Invenergy for a combined 791 MW of solar and wind capacity to support its growing U.S. data center operations. The four projects are located in Ohio, Arkansas, and Texas, and expand Meta’s total renewables procurement from Invenergy to about 1.8 GW. The agreements reflect Meta’s ongoing efforts to decarbonize its data centers as it also recently signed two other PPAs in Texas with

Meta Inks PPAs for 791 MW Solar and Wind Power with Invenergy
Reported June 27, 2025 – In recent developments, Meta has inked deals with renewable energy developer Invenergy to source more power for its data centers. The companies have both signed four deals that will see the supply of 791MW energy through solar and wind power. Through this deal, Meta aims to supplement power supply that is used to operate its data centers. This is the latest in a string of deals by Meta aimed at meeting the company’s energy needs. Furthermore, it aligns with the company’s ambition to support artificial energy technologies using clean energy. Last year, Meta had signed four PPAs with Chicago-based Invenergy for 760 MW of solar electricity. The renewable energy company noted that the recent deal brings the companies’ total partnership to 1800MW. Meta had previously announced deals with several large energy projects such as solar. Furthermore, a geothermal startup and a proposal seeking nuclear power developers is also in the works.

The Scope of Implementation on Meta’s Data Centers
The scope of implementation on powering Meta’s data centers entails leveraging clean and renewable energy as its power source. The electricity from Invenergy’s solar and wind projects in Ohio, Arkansas and Texas will be delivered to the local grid. On the other hand, Meta will receive clean energy credits associated with the new generation capacity coming online. However, the companies did not disclose the financial details of the deals. “We’re laser-focused on advancing our AI ambitions, and to do that, we need clean, reliable energy,” said Urvi Parekh, Meta’s head of global energy.
Meta announced earlier this month it secured a 20-year deal with Constellation Energy. The deal aims to utilize nuclear power for AI and other technology developments. As part of the agreement, Meta said it will expand the output of Constellation’s Clinton Clean Energy Center in Illinois. It is noticeable that Meta is increasingly turning its focus to AI. However, it is a project that requires an unprecedented amount of energy to develop and operate and power data centers. To meet such rising demand, companies across the U.S. are also pursuing large-scale renewables, such as Invenergy’s proposed $750 million, 300 MW wind project in South Dakota. The company said it expects to nearly double its spending this year for this pivot.
