Meta signed a deal for 650 megawatts of solar power in Kansas and Texas to power its data centers for AI operations.
The projects are being developed by American utility company AES, with 400 megawatts in Texas and 250 megawatts in Kansas.
This marks the fourth solar deal Meta has announced in 2023, with Texas being a hotspot for solar development due to ample sunshine, quick permitting, and speedy grid connections.
Solar power offers fast time-to-power, low-cost electricity, and allows data centers to begin receiving electricity before project completion.
