Texas-based ENGIE and Meta finalized their second Environmental Attributes Purchase Agreement (EAPA) in 2024, under which ENGIE will supply 200 MW of renewable energy from the Anson 2 solar project in Texas. ENGIE will manage the development, construction, and operation of the facility, which is expected to begin operations by late 2025. The project will create over 300 construction jobs, and contribute more than $56 million in tax revenue, with $28 million allocated to local school districts. Once operational, Anson 2 will enhance ENGIE’s renewable energy portfolio in North America, currently comprising 8 GW of solar, wind, and battery storage projects. It will also add to Meta’s global renewable energy procurement, which has surpassed 12 GW.
