Construction on the solar farm is expected to commence this year and will deliver power to the local grid, with Meta purchasing the renewable energy credits generated by the project.
“We’re committed to ensuring that the communities and grid infrastructure across Louisiana benefit from our presence. Partnering with Lightsource BP to bring 150MWac of new solar energy online through Mowata Solar is a meaningful step — it adds generation to the local grid and supports economic growth in Acadia Parish. We’re proud to contribute to a more resilient and energy-abundant Louisiana,” said Amanda Yang, head of clean & renewable energy, Meta.
The PPA is the second to be signed between the two companies. In late 2022, the firms inked a 134MW PPA for power from the Arche Solar project in Fulton County, Ohio.
