DESRI, a leading renewable energy producer in the U.S., and Meta today announced the signing of 850 megawatts (MW) of new power purchase agreements (PPAs) in 2026. These include: 500 MW in Oklahoma; 200 MW in Texas and 150 MW in Mississippi. To date, DESRI and Meta have contracted approximately 2,575 MW of solar and battery storage projects across nine states to support Meta's efforts to add new generation to the grid.

In addition to the 2026 signings, other contracted projects include: 150 MW in Texas; 300 MW in Utah; and 100 MW in New Mexico, among others. DESRI expects approximately 1,110 MW of these contracted projects to begin construction this year. Each project is expected to create hundreds of construction jobs and will contribute to the local economy throughout its respective operational term. DESRI regularly includes funding allocations in their PPAs for high school scholarships awarded to students interested in clean energy careers, and are pleased to include similar initiatives in several states.
