Lightsource bp and Meta Expand Partnership with New Power Purchase Agreement for Mowata Solar in Louisiana

Lightsource bp and Meta have finalized a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) to support Mowata Solar, a 172MWdc (150MWac) solar project in development in Acadia Parish, Louisiana. This PPA will add new generation to the local grid, furthering Meta's commitment to expanding energy capacity in the regions where it operates.

This announcement marks another solar energy PPA with Meta managed by Lightsource bp. In 2022, Meta signed a long-term PPA for energy generated by the 134MWdc (107MWac) Arche Solar, in Gorham Township, Ohio.

"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.

"Expanding our partnership with Meta through this PPA reinforces Lightsource bp's ability to scale renewable energy solutions alongside the technology sector's growing energy and operational needs. With Mowata Solar, Lightsource bp is investing $237 million in Louisiana's energy infrastructure, creating hundreds of construction jobs and providing lasting economic benefits to Acadia Parish. This partnership exemplifies how renewable energy can support technological innovation and drive meaningful economic growth in communities across the Pelican State," said Emilie Wangerman, Lightsource bp's Chief Operating Officer and Head of USA.
