Canadian energy infrastructure company Enbridge has made a final investment decision on the 600-megawatt (MW) Clear Fork solar project in Texas, the company said on Monday, with construction already underway and commercial operations expected by summer 2027.
The utility-scale solar facility will be located near San Antonio and is backed by a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with Meta Platforms, which has committed to buying 100% of the plant’s renewable output.
Enbridge estimates the project will cost approximately $900 million and expects it to be accretive to both cash flow and earnings per share beginning in 2027.
“Clear Fork demonstrates the growing demand for renewable power across North America from blue-chip companies who are involved in technology and data centre operations,” said Matthew Akman, Enbridge’s executive vice president of corporate strategy and president of renewable power.
Akman said the project aligns with Enbridge’s strategy of leveraging its financial and construction capabilities to deliver clean energy under a low-risk commercial model. “Enbridge continues to advance its world-class renewables development portfolio using our financial strength, supply chain reach and construction expertise,” he added.
Meta’s head of global energy Urvi Parekh said the agreement supports the company’s sustainability targets. “We are thrilled to partner with Enbridge to bring new renewable energy to Texas and help support our operations with 100% clean energy,” Parekh said.
The Clear Fork development is part of Enbridge’s broader push into renewable energy, as traditional energy firms increasingly diversify toward low-carbon power sources to meet corporate demand and climate targets.
