The AES Corporation has announced that it has entered into two long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) to support Meta's data centres with 650 MW of solar projects that AES is bringing online in the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) market.
Andrés Gluski, President and Chief Executive Officer, AES said, “AES is proud to partner with Meta to deliver reliable and affordable renewable energy that supports their data centre growth and ambitious sustainability goals. By providing energy solutions that offer fast time-to-power and low-cost electricity, we continue to be the partner of choice for companies, like Meta, at the forefront of artificial intelligence innovation.”
Urvi Parekh, Global Head of Energy, Meta said, “We are thrilled to work with AES to bring forward these two solar energy projects. These solutions support our goal for 100 percent clean and renewable energy and will add new generation to the grid in these markets.”
In addition to supporting Meta's goals, these projects will provide employment opportunities and economic benefits to communities in Texas and Kansas, creating hundreds of construction jobs and contributing millions in long-term tax revenue to support local schools and counties.
AES is a US-based global power company, with 32.7 GW in operation, a backlog of 12.3 GW of signed long-term PPAs, and a pipeline of 65 GW. AES has now signed 10.1 GW of contractual arrangements with major global hyperscalers, including 7.7 GW of long-term PPAs to build renewable capacity that supports their data centre energy needs.
