RWE and Meta announced a new long-term corporate power purchase agreement (PPA) for the electricity generated by the 298-MWac Rabbit’s Foot Solar project in northeast Texas.

Construction of the Rabbit's Foot Solar project in Bowie County, Texas, commenced earlier in 2026. Once the facility becomes operational, it will supply renewable electricity to help Meta achieve its objective of matching its operations with 100% clean energy. The project is scheduled to enter commercial operation by the end of 2027.

The agreement also expands the long-standing collaboration between RWE and Meta. Before this deal, the companies had executed power purchase agreements (PPAs) covering 574 MW of renewable capacity, including the 274 MW Emily Solar project in Illinois, the 100 MW Lafitte Solar project in Louisiana, and the 200 MW Waterloo Solar project in Texas. With the addition of the 298 MW Rabbit's Foot Solar project, their combined contracted renewable energy capacity has increased to 872 MW over the past two years.
