Noon Energy has announced a major agreement with Meta Platforms to reserve up to 1 GW / 100 GWh of ultra-long duration energy storage capacity. This marks one of the most significant commitments to long-duration storage made by a hyperscale technology company to date. The collaboration will start with a 25 MW / 2.5 GWh project that is planned for completion in 2028. Once this initial project is successfully delivered, Noon will begin supplying systems under a broader 1 GW / 100 GWh supply contract. The partnership supports Metaโs goal of ensuring reliable and clean energy availability for its next-generation AI infrastructure, which requires stable power to operate at scale.
Noonโs technology is designed to unlock dependable energy supply from rapidly deployable renewable sources, making it well suited for large data center operations. Noonโs systems use modular, reversible solid oxide fuel cell technology that can store energy for 100+ hours, enabling multi-day discharge when renewable generation is low. This provides a clean, consistent baseload power supply and helps address one of the biggest challenges in renewable energy: maintaining grid reliability during periods of low wind or sunlight.
The company emphasized that this agreement represents a major milestone. Noon views hyperscale data centers as one of the strongest use cases for its storage technology due to their high, round-the-clock energy needs. The partnership will also support the development of production capacity and a long-duration storage supply chain over the coming years. Meta highlighted that bringing new data centers online quickly depends on access to reliable and rapidly deployable power solutions. By integrating Noonโs ultra-long duration storage technology, the company aims to strengthen grid resilience, secure firm clean power, and accelerate the rollout of its AI-driven infrastructure.
