News Summary

• Meta signed three deals this week to procure nearly 1 gigawatt of solar power as it races to power its lofty AI ambitions.
• The Louisiana deals involve purchasing certificates that allow Meta to offset its carbon-intensive sources of power.
• They follow on the heels of a larger deal announced Monday in which Meta bought 600 megawatts from a massive solar farm near Lubbock, Texas.
• The Texas power plant won’t connect directly to Meta data centers, but it will feed into the local grid, offsetting use by the facilities.
