DESRI Announces Signing of 400 MWac of Clean Energy Projects in Missouri and Texas With Meta
"We're thrilled to expand our collaboration with DESRI and advance another portfolio of renewable energy projects," said NEW YORK, Dec. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- D. E. Shaw Renewable Investments (DESRI), a leading renewable energy producer in the U.S., today announced the signing of two long-term renewable energy off-take agreements with Meta. The projects include a 250 MWac solar facility in Missouri and a 150 MWac solar facility in Texas. Both facilities are sited in the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) territory and are expected to reach commercial operation before the end of 2027.
纽约，2024年12月17日 /PRNewswire/ -- D.E. Shaw可再生能源投资公司（DESRI），美国领先的可再生能源生产商，今天宣布与Meta签署了两份长期可再生能源购买协议。项目包括在密苏里州的一个250 MWac太阳能设施和在德克萨斯州的一个150 MWac太阳能设施。这两个设施位于中部独立系统操作员（MISO）区域，预计将在2027年底之前投入商业运营。
This 400 MWac portfolio contributes to DESRI's growing solar portfolio with Meta, which also includes projects in Utah, Virginia, and Arkansas.
这个400 MWac的投资组合推动了DESRI与Meta的日益增长的太阳能投资组合，后者还包括犹他州、维吉尼亚州和阿肯色州的项目。
"Our renewable energy partnership with Meta has expanded to span five states, encompassing more than 1,200 MWac of clean energy nationwide. DESRI's portfolio of renewable energy projects supports Meta's continued growth and expansion across the United States," said Hy Martin, Chief Development Officer of DESRI. "These projects will support local rural economies and are part of DESRI's long-term strategy of developing, owning, and operating clean energy generation sources in close proximity to new load growth, particularly with our corporate data center customers in MISO and beyond."
DESRI的首席发展官Hy Martin说：“我们与Meta的可再生能源合作伙伴关系已扩展到五个州，涵盖全国超过1200 MWac的清洁能源。DESRI的可再生能源项目组合支持Meta在美国的持续增长和扩展。”他补充说：“这些项目将支持当地的农村经济，并且是DESRI开发、拥有和运营靠近新负荷增长的清洁能源发电源的长期策略的一部分，特别是我们的企业数据中心客户位于MISO及其以外的地方。”
"We're thrilled to expand our collaboration with DESRI and advance another portfolio of renewable energy projects," said Urvi Parekh, Global Head of Energy at Meta. "These projects help support our goal to continue matching our electricity usage with 100% clean and renewable energy."
Meta全球能源负责人Urvi Parekh表示：“我们很高兴能够扩大与DESRI的合作，推进另一项可再生能源项目投资组合。这些项目有助于支持我们的目标，继续与100%的清洁和可再生能源相匹配我们的电力使用。”
DESRI purchased development rights to a 150 MWac project from Acadian Renewable Energy LLC (Acadian), a joint venture between SunChase Power LLC (SunChase) and Eolian L.P. (Eolian), in 2022, and DESRI completed development of the project over the past three years.
DESRI于2022年购买了来自Acadian Renewable Energy LLC（Acadian）的150 MWac项目的开发权，Acadian是SunChase Power LLC（SunChase）和Eolian L.P.（Eolian）之间的合资企业，而DESRI在过去三年中完成了该项目的开发。
"We began development of this 150 MWac solar project with our partner, SunChase, in late 2016, targeting a region of the MISO power market that was experiencing sustained load growth from the greater Houston metro area, but that suffered from limited options for transmission expansion," added Aaron Zubaty, CEO of Eolian. "This project would not be possible without the ongoing support of local private landowners. We greatly appreciate their patience through the many years it has taken to advance this project to this important milestone," added Heather Otten, SunChase Co-Founder and Principal.
Eolian的首席执行官Aaron Zubaty补充道：“我们与我们的合作伙伴SunChase于2016年末开始了这个150 MWac太阳能项目的开发，目标是MISO电力市场上一个面临从大休斯敦都市区持续负荷增长的地区，但该地区在传输扩展方面选择有限。”他补充说：“如果没有当地私人土地所有者的持续支持，这个项目是不可能实现的。我们非常感谢他们在推进这个项目到达这一重要里程碑的过程中所表现出的耐心。”SunChase的联合创始人兼首席负责人Heather Otten补充道。
The facilities are expected to generate clean energy to power Meta's growing operational needs under long-term power purchase agreements.
这些设施预计将在长期电力采购协议下产生清洁能源，以满足Meta日益增长的运营需求。
Both projects are expected to create hundreds of construction jobs and contribute to the local economy throughout their operational terms. DESRI plans to be the long-term owner and operator of both projects.
这两个项目预计将创造数百个施工岗位，并在其运营期间为当地经济做出贡献。DESRI计划成为这两个项目的长期拥有者和运营商。
