ENGIE North America has announced that it has entered into a PPA with Meta for the new 600 MW Swenson Ranch Solar project in Stonewall County, southeast of Lubbock, Texas. The project will be the largest asset in ENGIE’s more than 11 GW operational and under construction portfolio of solar, wind and battery storage in North America.
Swenson is expected to be operational in 2027, when Meta will purchase 100% of the project’s output to support its data center operations in the United States.
“We are excited to continue expanding our relationship with Meta,” said Dave Carroll, CEO and Chief Renewables Officer of ENGIE North America. “Our goal is to bring reliable, cost-competitive energy to the grid as quickly as possible, and projects like Swenson demonstrate the importance of solar to meet the timely needs of our customers.”
The planned $900 million investment in Swenson will employ more than 350 skilled workers during construction.
