ENGIE<\/strong> and Meta<\/strong> have announced the signing of a major Environmental Attribute Purchase Agreement<\/strong> ( EAPA<\/em> ) for the provision of 260 MW of renewable energy. This agreement will focus on the Sypert Branch solar project<\/strong> , developed by ENGIE, in Milam County, Texas, which will provide the energy needed to support Meta’s sustainability goals. <\/p>\n\n

ENGIE and Meta agree on the Syper Branch project<\/h2>\n\n

Meta plans to maintain net-zero emissions operations and will purchase all of the energy output from the Sypert Branch solar project<\/strong> . This agreement expands Meta\u2019s renewable energy procurement capacity to over 12 GW and underscores its ongoing commitment to transitioning to clean, sustainable energy sources. <\/p>\n\n

The Sypert Branch solar project<\/strong> , located approximately 70 miles northeast of Austin and near Meta\u2019s data center in Temple, will employ more than 300 workers during construction, generating a positive economic impact on the region.<\/p>\n\n

Additionally, this project is expected to contribute more than $69 million in tax revenue over its lifetime, benefiting local communities and especially supporting area school districts with approximately $45 million.<\/p>\n\n

\n

\u201cWe are proud to partner with Meta to provide renewable energy to support their growth and contribute to their net zero goals. This agreement reinforces ENGIE\u2019s position as a leader in the energy transition and underlines our ability to develop, build and operate renewable assets.\u201d<\/p>\nDave Carroll, Senior Vice President and Director of Renewables at ENGIE North America. <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n

For his part, Urvi Parekh, Director of Clean Energy at Meta, commented: \u201cWe are delighted to collaborate with ENGIE to make the transition to clean energy a reality. Our partnership is an example of how we continue to drive renewable energy to keep our global operations net-zero. <\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n

With this partnership, ENGIE North America<\/strong> is moving closer to closing nearly 1 GW of signed power purchase agreements (PPAs) in the U.S. by 2024. ENGIE\u2019s innovation and leadership in the renewable energy<\/strong><\/a> sector have earned it recognition as one of the leading developers of corporate PPAs globally. <\/p>\n\n
