Apex signs PPA with Meta for 225 MW Great Pathfinder wind project in Iowa
Apex Clean Energy has announced that Great Pathfinder Wind, a 225 MW project located in Boone and Hamilton Counties in central Iowa, has executed a power purchase agreement with Meta for the full capacity of the project.
Great Pathfinder Wind will help support Meta’s operations in the region, including its data center campus approximately 40 miles away in Altoona, Iowa, which recently announced an expansion in December 2021. Meta has been part of the Iowa community since breaking ground on its data center in 2013. Once completed, the data center will represent an investment of more than US$2.5 billion and support over 400 jobs. The wind project will help Meta continue supporting its global operations with 100% renewable energy.
