Meta and Zelestra, a global, multi-technology, customer-focused renewable energy company, announced an expansion of their clean energy partnership through a power purchase agreement (PPA) for the 176 MWdc (136 MWac) Skull Creek Solar Plant in Texas. The project will contribute to Meta’s ongoing efforts to add new clean energy generation to the grid and maintain 100 percent renewable energy matching for its operations.

With this agreement, Zelestra and Meta now have PPAs covering approximately 1.2 GWdc of solar capacity across seven U.S. projects, all scheduled to be operational by 2028. Two of these projects began construction in late 2025, while the remaining projects are expected to enter construction in 2026. This announcement follows the recent full commercial operations at Zelestra’s 81 MWdc Jasper County Solar Project in Indiana, which was the first project in the collaboration between the two companies to come online.

Phil North, Zelestra’s U.S. CEO, commented that the clean energy collaboration with Meta is gaining momentum across the United States. He highlighted the significance of achieving full operations at Jasper County, initiating construction on two additional major projects, and closing another PPA that enables the development of Skull Creek in Texas. North added that, through this forward-looking partnership, nearly 1.2 GWdc of new solar power will soon be operational in the U.S., strengthening the country’s clean energy infrastructure.

Zelestra continues to advance its position in the U.S. energy market by delivering innovative, multi-technology solutions tailored to the evolving needs of hyperscale operators and other corporate partners. Headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, the company is developing a robust portfolio of approximately 15 GW of renewable energy projects across key U.S. markets. Zelestra is a vertically integrated renewable energy company specializing in the development, commercialization, construction, and operation of large-scale renewable projects.

Recently, the company was ranked among the top 10 sellers of clean energy to corporate customers globally by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF). Backed by EQT, one of the world’s largest investment funds with €270 billion in assets under management, Zelestra is positioned to continue delivering large-scale, sustainable energy solutions to meet the growing demand for clean power.
