RWE and Meta Join Forces to Power the Future with Two Major Solar Projects in the US
RWE has taken a significant step forward in the green energy landscape by securing two long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with Meta. These agreements will see Meta sourcing clean energy from two solar farms currently under construction in the US, reinforcing its commitment to 100% renewable operations. The onsite construction for RWE’s 274 MWac County Run Solar project in Illinois and the 100 MWac Lafitte Solar project in Louisiana is already in progress, with both sites expected to be commissioned by late 2025. This clean energy collaboration will significantly contribute to Meta’s ambitious goal of powering its global operations entirely with renewable energy.
Andrew Flanagan, CEO of RWE Clean Energy, highlighted the importance of this partnership, stating: “RWE’s continued investment in the US renewables market is driven by new opportunities to team up with leading technology companies like Meta, which are fueling the demand for clean energy to support their operations. Our expanding US renewables platform is positioned to drive decarbonization across industries while boosting economic growth and job creation in the communities where our facilities are located.” Urvi Parekh, Head of Renewable Energy at Meta, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership: “Collaborating with renewable energy providers like RWE to bring new solar projects online is crucial to our energy procurement strategy. We are thrilled to scale our renewable energy contracts, and this collaboration exemplifies our commitment to matching 100% of the electricity use of our data centers and offices with renewable energy.” These PPAs with Meta align perfectly with RWE’s strategy to partner with leading technology companies, addressing the growing demand for sustainable energy solutions. Together, RWE and Meta are not only contributing to a cleaner energy future but also demonstrating leadership in corporate sustainability and innovation. #SustainableFuture #CleanEnergy #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #GreenTech #Meta #RWE #Decarbonization #ClimateAction #SolarProjects #SustainabilityGoals
