Energy
We aim to expand electric grids and embrace new sources of reliable, clean and renewable energy.

Matching our electricity use with 100% clean and renewable energy
Since 2020, we have matched 100% of our annual electricity use with new clean and renewable energy. As a voluntary buyer, we prioritize supporting high quality, innovative energy projects around the globe. This is key to maintaining net zero emissions for our operations.
Additionality
A fundamental tenet of our approach to clean and renewable energy is the concept of additionality: partnering with utilities and developers to add new projects to the grid. Over the last decade, we have contracted for over 15 GW of new clean and renewable energy across the globe, making us one of the world’s largest corporate buyers.
Power purchase agreements
We routinely partner with energy providers on long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) to match our electricity use with clean and renewable energy. As of the end of 2024, 89 of the 128 projects in our portfolio were online and producing power. A few key partnerships include:
- Singapore renewable energy developer Sembcorp on a 150 MW floating solar project
- Highfield Energy Services on one of the largest solar agreements in Ireland
- PNM and NextEra Energy Resources on a 190 MW solar facility paired with a 50 MW 4-hour battery energy storage system in New Mexico
Supporting grid reliability with new energy innovations
As electricity load grows, a diverse portfolio of resources is needed to ensure that the grid remains reliable.

Energy storage
In addition to supporting the deployment of new battery storage projects, Meta is also partnering to advance key research to accelerate new energy storage technologies. Discovering the right combination of catalysts is a time-consuming process, with billions of element combinations to test. Open Catalyst is a partnership between the Meta Fundamental AI Research Team and Carnegie Mellon University, whose goal is to enable researchers to screen millions — possibly billions —of catalysts per year.

Geothermal
We announced an agreement with Sage Geosystems to support the first deployment of next-generation geothermal power at scale east of the Rocky Mountains. This project will help significantly expand the use of geothermal power in the U.S. and allows us to further diversify our energy portfolio.

Nuclear energy
In June 2025, Meta signed a 20-year agreement with Constellation to secure the long-term operations of the Clinton Clean Energy Center, which provides 1,121 MW of emissions-free nuclear energy. The agreement will also expand Clinton’s clean energy output by 30 MW through plant uprates.
We are also continuing to focus on how Meta can spur new nuclear capacity by partnering to push forward the development of new locations for future nuclear power plants. We released an RFP to identify nuclear energy developers to help us meet our AI and sustainability objectives. Our aim is to add one to four gigawatts of new nuclear generation capacity in the United States, to be delivered starting in the early 2030s.
