RWE and Meta sign long-term power purchase agreement for offtake from 200-megawatt energy project in Texas. Meta to purchase 100% of electricity from RWE’s Waterloo Solar project to support its growing regional operations and data center capacity in Texas Agreement marks RWE’s third long-term PPA with Meta in recent months for homegrown energy from assets in three U.S. states RWE’s PPA with Meta represents the company’s third long-term contract with the technology company in recent months, totaling a combined offtake of 574 MW from projects in Texas, Illinois and Louisiana. RWE previously announced it had secured two PPAs with Meta for 100% of the output from its 274 MWac County Run Solar project in Illinois and its 100 MWac Lafitte Solar project in Louisiana. Christoph Hunfeld Chief Commercial Officer, RWE Clean Energy: “RWE’s partnership with Meta underscores the importance of unleashing American electricity generation from all sources to support load growth in Texas and across the U.S. These collaborations enable us to continue investing in communities across America like Bastrop County, helping to stimulate job creation and economic prosperity, while simultaneously helping companies like Meta match the electricity use of their operations with clean and renewable energy.” Urvi Parekh, Head of Global Energy, Meta: “We’re excited to expand our partnership with RWE and look forward to the Waterloo solar project coming online.” #digitalinfrastructure #energyinfrastructure #powerinfrastructure #texasenergy

We’re proud to share that Nira’s Head of Transmission and co-founder, Andrew Martin, will be presenting at FERC’s Sixteenth Annual Software Conference on July 8 at 4:00 PM EDT. 💡 Presentation Title: "How Software Can Be Used to Automate Much of Today’s Transmission Planning Workload" As interconnection queues grow and grid demands accelerate, the pressure on transmission planners is higher than ever. Andrew will share how automation — paired with ISO-accurate modeling — can help reduce the manual burden on engineers while improving speed, transparency, and system-wide efficiency. Excited to join FERC and industry peers for this important conversation about the future of grid planning. Hope to see you there. #TransmissionPlanning #GridSoftware #FERC #Automation #CleanEnergy #PowerSystems #Interconnection #NiraEnergy
