Zelestra has agreed a long-term power purchase agreement with Meta for the 176MWdc Skull Creek Solar Plant in Texas.
The companies said the project supports Meta’s objective of adding new generation capacity to the grid while matching its operations with 100% clean energy.
They added that Zelestra and Meta now have PPAs covering around 1.2GWdc of solar capacity across seven projects in the US, all scheduled to be online by 2028. Two of the projects began construction late last year, with the remaining developments due to start building in 2026.
The announcement follows Zelestra achieving full commercial operations at the 81MWdc Jasper County Solar Project in Indiana, the first asset under the partnership to reach completion.
“Our clean energy collaboration with Meta is gathering momentum across the US,” said Phil North, US chief executive of Zelestra.
“We are delighted to welcome full operations at Jasper County and start of construction at two further major projects, at the same time as closing another major agreement that will enable the construction of Skull Creek in Texas.
“Thanks to our forward-looking partnership, nearly 1.2GWdc of new clean solar power will soon be operational in the US.”
Zelestra said it is continuing to expand its US footprint with multi-technology solutions and currently has around 15GW of renewable projects under development across key American markets.
