RWE and Meta have inked a power purchase agreement (PPA) for offtake from a 200 MW solar project situated in Texas. Under this agreement, Meta will purchase 100 per cent of the output from RWE’s Waterloo Solar project in Bastrop County. This project will commence construction later in 2025.
Furthermore, this project once operational will support Meta’s goal of matching its operations with 100 per cent clean and renewable energy. This is RWE’s third long-term contract with Meta in recent times leading to a combined offtake of 574 MW from projects in Texas, Illinois, and Louisiana.
Earlier in June 2024, RWE commenced construction of the Casey Fork Solar project located in Jefferson County, Illinois. Ameren, ComEd, and MidAmerican Energy were contracted to purchase renewable energy credits from the solar farm. McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. was responsible for the construction of the solar project.
