MENLO PARK, Calif. and CHICAGO, Dec. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Meta Platforms, Inc (Nasdaq: META) announced it has signed four contracts with Chicago-based energy owner, operator and developer, Invenergy, for 760 MW of clean energy. These new Environmental Attribute Purchase agreements (EAPAs) bring Meta’s total clean energy procurement from Invenergy to over 1 GW.
“Energy demand is soaring—and Invenergy is excited to work with Meta to deliver long-term, clean energy solutions to support their operations,” said Ted Romaine, Invenergy Executive Vice President of Origination. “As the largest privately held clean energy owner, operator and developer, we’re pleased that Invenergy’s utility-scale solar projects can contribute to meeting Meta’s clean energy goals, while also providing good-paying jobs and generating millions in local economic benefits.”
