Zelestra has agreed a long-term power purchase agreement with Meta for the 176MWdc Skull Creek Solar Plant in Texas.
The companies said the project supports Meta’s goal of adding new generation to the grid while matching its operations with 100% clean energy.
They added that Zelestra and Meta now have PPAs for about 1.2GWdc of solar capacity across seven US projects scheduled to be online by 2028.
Two projects began construction late last year and the remainder are due to start building in 2026, according to the partners.
The announcement follows Zelestra achieving full commercial operations at the 81MWdc Jasper County Solar Project in Indiana (pictured), the first asset in the partnership to come online.
Phil North, US chief executive of Zelestra, said: “Our clean energy collaboration with Meta is gathering momentum across the U.S. We are delighted to welcome full operations at Jasper County and start of construction at two further major projects, at the same time as closing another major agreement that will enable the construction of Skull Creek in Texas.
“Thanks to our forward-looking partnership, nearly 1.2 GWdc of new clean solar power will soon be operational in the U.S.”
Zelestra said it is expanding its US presence with multi-technology solutions and is developing around 15GW of renewable projects across key markets.
