Meta partners with Ørsted to procure 100% renewable energy for Arizona data center operations

Meta signed an agreement with Ørsted to support its Mesa, Arizona, data center with solar energy from the Salt River Project (SRP). Under the contract, Meta will receive most of the solar energy generated by Ørsted’s Eleven Mile Solar Center currently under construction in Pinal County, Arizona. Once online in 2024, the solar-plus-battery project will be the largest renewable project on SRP's power grid and one of the largest battery energy storage systems built in a single phase in the U.S. The project includes a 300-megawatt solar farm and a 300-MW, four-hour battery energy storage system.
