Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp owner Meta announced that it has signed two long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) to acquire 650 MW of solar energy in Texas and Kansas from energy provider AES to support the social media giant’s data centers.
Virginia-based AES is among the largest power providers in the world. Meta will draw power via the PPAs from solar projects that AES is bringing online in the Southwest Power Pool (SPP), which manages the electric grid and wholesale power market in central U.S. states.
