Avangrid, Meta sign PPA for 240 MW True North solar project in Texas

Avangrid, a part of Iberdrola Group, has entered signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Meta to procure renewable energy from True North, a 240 MW solar farm under development located in Falls County, Texas, USA. 

The solar farm will deliver 240 MW of clean, renewable energy once it reaches commercial operations, which is expected by early 2025. During its construction and operation, True North will create over 200 local jobs and is expected to pay over US$40 million in property taxes over 25 years in this state, in which the company already operates more than 1,250 MW of onshore wind facilities.

Since 2020, Meta’s global operations have been supported by 100% renewable energy. The True North project will support Meta’s upcoming data center in neighboring Temple, their second data center facility in Texas.
