Iberdrola’s Starts Construction of Solar PV Plant in Texas to Supply Power to Facebook

The project, with an installed capacity of 240 MW, will support the Meta-owned social network’s next data centre. 

Iberdrola’s US subsidiary Avangrid has begun construction of the 240 MW True North photovoltaic plant in Falls County (Texas). It will supply clean, renewable energy to power the operations of Meta, the parent company of the social network Facebook, in the region.

Since 2020, Meta’s global operations have been supported by 100% renewable energy. The True North project will support Meta’s upcoming data centre in Temple City, its second data centre facility in Texas.

True North, Avangrid’s first solar farm in Texas, is expected to reach commercial operation in early 2025. During construction and operation, True North will create more than 200 jobs and is expected to pay more than $40 million in property taxes over 25 years in the state, where the company already operates more than 1,250 MW of onshore wind facilities.
