Our Approach to Clean and Renewable Energy

At Meta, we work to design, build and operate some of the most innovative and sustainable data centers in the world.

Ensuring these world-class data centers are supported by clean and renewable energy is foundational to our approach. We recognize that adding new energy to the grid is important, not only because of our scale and scope as a company, but because we want to play a positive role in the communities in which we operate

Since 2020, we have matched 100% of our annual electricity use with new renewable energy and have a long history of partnering with utilities and renewable developers to bring new wind and solar energy projects to grids where we operate. As a voluntary buyer of renewable energy, we prioritize supporting high quality, innovative clean and renewable energy projects around the globe, which is key to maintaining net zero emissions for our operations.
