Meta buys over 1 GW of renewables to power its data centers


Meta has been on a renewable buying spree in recent months.

The social media company announced Thursday it will buy 791 megawatts of solar and wind power in Ohio, Arkansas, and Texas from project developer Invenergy. Earlier this month, the tech company inked a deal with XGS Energy to build a 150-megawatt enhanced geothermal power plant in New Mexico. The deals give renewables a boost at a time when subsidies for the technologies are being targeted for elimination in the reconciliation bills being hashed out by House and Senate Republicans.
