Meta And Zelestra Boost Clean Energy In Texas With 595 MWac Deal

Meta is working with renewable energy company Zelestra to build four new solar energy projects in Texas. These projects, located in Hopkins, Lamar, Lampasas, and Henderson Counties, will supply clean electricity to the ERCOT grid, helping power Meta’s data centers. Zelestra, which develops renewable energy projects worldwide, is growing its presence in the U.S. with nearly 6.6 GWdc of projects in progress across multiple states.

“We are excited to announce these solar projects with Zelestra,” said Urvi Parekh, Head of Global Energy at Meta. “The renewable energy from these projects will support our data center operations, as well as our ongoing efforts to match our electricity usage with 100% clean and renewable energy.”

Phillip North, CEO of Zelestra US, stated, “We are pleased to triple the size of our partnership with Meta, demonstrating that we share the same commitment to accelerate decarbonization. The agreement is a major boost to our wider ambition of doubling our total contracted renewables portfolio across the US in the next two years.”
