Wedoany.com Report-Mar 19, RWE and Meta have announced a new PPA to offtake energy from a 200MW solar project in Texas.

Under the agreement, Meta will purchase 100% of the output from RWE’s Waterloo Solar project in Bastrop County, Texas, which is set to begin onsite construction in late 2025.

RWE’s PPA with Meta represents the company’s third long-term contract with the technology company in recent months, totaling a combined offtake of 574MW from projects in Texas, Illinois and Louisiana.

RWE previously announced it had secured two PPAs with Meta for 100% of the output from its 274MW County Run Solar project in Illinois and its 100MW Lafitte Solar project in Louisiana.

Christoph Hunfeld, chief commercial officer for RWE Clean Energy, said: "RWE’s partnership with Meta underscores the importance of unleashing American electricity generation from all sources to support load growth in Texas and across the US.

"These collaborations enable us to continue investing in communities across America like Bastrop County, helping to stimulate job creation and economic prosperity, while simultaneously helping companies like Meta match the electricity use of their operations with clean and renewable energy."

Urvi Parekh, head of global energy at Meta, added: "We’re excited to expand our partnership with RWE and look forward to the Waterloo solar project coming online."
