Meta is rapidly scaling up its renewable energy procurement to meet the surging power demands of its AI-driven data centers while aligning with its clean energy goals. The company has now secured a total of 1,800 megawatts (MW) of clean power through partnerships with Invenergy, including four new agreements in 2025 for an additional 791 MW of solar and wind energy.
These projects are located in Ohio, Arkansas, and Texas, and are expected to support Meta’s data center operations as well as contribute to broader grid decarbonization efforts.
“We’re laser-focused on advancing our AI ambitions — and to do that, we need clean, reliable energy. We’re grateful for Invenergy’s longtime partnership that helps us support our energy needs and implement our clean energy goals, and look forward to continued collaboration,” said Urvi Parekh, Meta’s Head of Global Energy.
Meta’s energy strategy includes not just large-scale solar and wind power, but also investments in geothermal innovation and proposals from nuclear energy providers, ensuring a diverse and resilient clean power mix. The electricity generated from these Invenergy projects will be delivered to local grids, with Meta receiving the renewable energy credits to offset its operational energy use.
Invenergy’s Strategy and Project Breakdown
Invenergy, America’s largest privately held renewable energy developer, is focused on delivering utility-scale clean energy projects that align with corporate sustainability goals and strengthen domestic energy security.
“Winning the AI race requires reliable, cleaner, affordable energy and energy infrastructure,” said Ted Romaine, Invenergy’s Executive Vice President of Origination.
Invenergy’s collaboration with Meta reflects a long-term, multi-project strategy to provide scalable, regionally distributed clean power.
Ohio Projects: Key to Midwestern Energy Growth
Yellow Wood Solar Energy Center – 300 MW
Location: Ohio
Expected Commercial Operation Date: 2027
This is the largest of the new projects and will significantly contribute to Ohio’s solar generation capacity. Positioned to serve both Meta’s clean energy targets and the growing electricity demand in the region.
Pleasant Prairie Solar Energy Center – 140 MW
Location: Ohio
Expected Commercial Operation Date: 2027
A complementary solar installation aimed at strengthening local renewable supply and enhancing Meta’s data center sustainability in the Midwest.
Together, these Ohio projects total over 440 MW, reinforcing the state’s role as a renewable energy hub and creating jobs during construction and ongoing operations.
Arkansas Project: Expanding Clean Energy in the South
Decoy Solar Energy Center – 155 MW
Location: Arkansas
Expected Commercial Operation Date: 2027
This project contributes to diversifying Arkansas’ energy mix, which has historically been reliant on conventional sources. It supports local economic development and helps balance the southern grid with solar power.
Texas Project: Harnessing Wind for Large-Scale Power
Seaway Wind Energy Center – 196 MW
Location: Texas
Expected Commercial Operation Date: 2028
Texas leads the U.S. in wind power capacity, and this project taps into the state’s strong wind resources. It helps meet Meta’s growing energy demand while taking advantage of Texas’ robust transmission infrastructure.
These strategically placed projects reflect Invenergy’s commitment to building distributed energy assets across multiple states, ensuring regional grid benefits and long-term energy resilience. For Meta, the projects strengthen its renewable portfolio and enable the scaling of AI infrastructure with minimal environmental impact.
