Meta has signed new power purchase agreements (PPAs) with ENGIE North America, expanding their partnership to more than 1.3 GW of solar across four Texas projects. The latest deal includes ENGIE's 600 MW Swenson Ranch Solar project in Stonewall County, southeast of Lubbock

When operational in 2027, Swenson Ranch will become ENGIE's largest solar farm in its 11 GW North American portfolio of solar, wind, and battery storage projects. Meta will purchase 100% of the project's electricity to power its U.S. data centers.

The $900 million project is expected to create over 350 construction jobs and generate more than $158 million in tax revenue for Stonewall County and the local hospital district over its lifetime.

Dave Carroll, CEO and chief renewables officer at ENGIE North America, said: "Our objective is to bring reliable, cost-competitive power to the grid as rapidly as possible, and projects like Swenson demonstrate the importance of solar to meet the timely needs of our customers."

Urvi Parekh, Meta's head of global energy, added: "This expanded deal with ENGIE enables us to continue matching 100% of our electricity use with clean and renewable energy to support our data center operations."

Swenson Ranch marks a major expansion of Meta's renewable energy sourcing in Texas, further supporting U.S. clean energy growth and local economic development.
