EDP signs agreement with Meta for 250 MW of solar energy in US
Total procured clean energy between Meta and EDPR NA has now reached 545 MW.
Meta and EDP (through EDP Renewables North America) today announced a long‑term power purchase agreement (PPA) for Cypress Knee Solar, a 250‑megawatt (MW) solar energy project to be built in Arkansas. The agreement supports Meta’s efforts to add new generation to the grid as it continues to match 100% of its annual electricity use with new clean and renewable energy.
Cypress Knee Solar represents Meta’s third new energy agreement with EDPR NA; the total procured energy between the two companies has now reached 545 MW, deepening a multi-year collaboration that continues to expand new energy infrastructure across the United States.
“Through our partnership with EDPR, Cypress Knee Solar will bring new generation to the Arkansas grid, creating local jobs and delivering economic benefits to the community. We’re proud to expand our collaboration with EDPR,” said Amanda Yang, Head of Clean and Renewable Energy, Meta.
Cypress Knee Solar will deliver long-lasting economic value to communities in Arkansas. Once operational, the project will help fund essential public services and infrastructure improvements. During construction, the project is expected to support several hundred jobs. Cypress Knee is expected to be completed by 2028.
