Meta Signs 850 MW Solar and Storage Deals Across Nine US States
Meta has signed new power purchase agreements with renewable energy producer DESRI for 850 MW of solar and battery storage capacity spread across Oklahoma, Texas and Mississippi. The deal expands Meta's total contracted capacity with DESRI to approximately 2,575 MW across nine US states.
The new agreements allocate 500 MW in Oklahoma, 200 MW in Texas and 150 MW in Mississippi, supplying Meta's data centres and offices with clean electricity from solar and battery storage projects. Meta ranked as the largest corporate clean energy offtaker globally in 2025, contracting 10.24 GW during the year according to BloombergNEF. The agreements form part of a broader strategy by the technology company to match 100% of its electricity use with renewable energy on an ongoing basis.
The deal underscores the growing role of large technology companies in driving utility-scale renewable energy deployment. Meta has set a net-zero target across its value chain by 2030, making long-term PPAs a central procurement tool. DESRI, a major US renewable energy developer, treats relationships with large corporate offtakers as a cornerstone of its long-term strategy to deliver cost-effective, reliable energy projects. The scale of Meta's annual contracting—over 10 GW in 2025 alone—signals the kind of demand that can unlock financing for new renewable capacity.
The expanded DESRI partnership brings Meta closer to securing long-term, diversified clean energy supply at the state level, reducing exposure to grid variability and fossil fuel price swings. DESRI has cited the economic development benefits of rural clean energy projects, including local job creation. As data centre energy demand continues to rise globally—driven by artificial intelligence workloads—technology companies are expected to accelerate clean energy procurement to fulfil their sustainability commitments and manage reputational risk with investors and regulators.
