Facebook is to build a new data center in the US state of Virginia powered by Dominion Energy Virginia’s solar plants.
Dominion is planning several solar farms in the state – with the sites still to be decided – which will deliver electricity to the data centre in eastern Henrico County, as well as other customers.
Dominion Energy power delivery group president and chief executive Robert Blue said: “Access to clean energy is joining reliability and price as important considerations when businesses decide to locate their operation.
“We are pleased we have been able to develop a solution for Facebook that meets all those requirements and creates a model that can be used by other large businesses as well.”
