Meta and ENGIE North America Partner to Deliver 260 MW of Renewable Energy from New Texas Solar Project

ENGIE North America (ENGIE) and Meta have finalized an Environmental Attributes Purchase Agreement (EAPA) for ENGIE to provide 260 MW of renewable energy, along with associated environmental attributes, from its Sypert Branch solar project in Milam County, Texas. This agreement will help support Meta’s expanding energy requirements as it strives to meet its net zero goals.

Meta will purchase the entire output of the 260 MW facility, which is set to begin operations in late 2025. The Sypert Branch solar project, located 70 miles northeast of Austin and about 10 miles from Meta’s data center in Temple, TX, will be developed, constructed, and operated by ENGIE. This addition will contribute to the over 12 GW of renewable energy procurement already announced by Meta. “We are delighted to announce this agreement to work with Meta by providing renewable power that supports their growth and aligns with their net zero commitments,” said Dave Carroll, Chief Renewables Officer and SVP, ENGIE North America. “We are proud that ENGIE’s proven track record in developing, building and operating renewable assets puts us at the forefront of the energy transition and this agreement with Meta recognizes the importance of that track record to our customers.”

“We are delighted to be collaborating with ENGIE to make the clean energy transition a reality through projects like Sypert Branch,” said Urvi Parekh, Head of Clean Energy, Meta. “Since 2020, we have maintained net zero emissions in our global operations – these efforts are supported by relationships such as those with ENGIE who can consistently deliver and operate projects like Sypert Branch to help meet our energy needs.”
