DESRI and Tierra Adentro Growth Capital (TAGC) have commenced construction on two solar plus storage projects in San Juan County, New Mexico. The projects include the 170 MW Foxtail Flats Solar and Storage facility with 80 MW/320 MWh battery storage and the 100 MW Four Mile Mesa Solar and Storage project with 100 MW/400 MWh storage. Together, the developments represent 270 MW of solar capacity and 180 MW of battery storage capacity.

Foxtail Flats will supply power to Los Alamos County under a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA), while Four Mile Mesa will support Meta’s data center operations through PNM’s Rate 36B program. Both projects had a groundbreaking ceremony held on May 14, 2026. The projects are expected to begin operations in 2027.

In May 2026, DESRI and Meta signed 850 MW of solar and battery storage power purchase agreements (PPAs) in US. The agreement includes 500 MW in Oklahoma, 200 MW in Texas and 150 MW in Mississippi. With these agreements, the total contracted solar and battery storage capacity between the companies has increased to approximately 2,575 MW in US. Previously contracted projects between the companies include 150 MW in Texas, 300 MW in Utah and 100 MW in New Mexico
