Meta has secured a significant solar deal, adding 650 megawatts of capacity across projects in Kansas and Texas to power its expanding AI data centers. This agreement, developed by AES, is part of Meta's broader renewable energy strategy, which now exceeds 12 gigawatts. This marks Meta's fourth solar deal this year, with Texas leading in solar development due to favorable conditions. The rapid deployment of solar farms is facilitated by quick permitting and grid connections, making it an attractive option for data centers.
