Enbridge Commits $900 Million to 600‑MW Texas Solar Farm for Meta Data Centers
Enbridge is tilting hard into sunshine: the Calgary‑based energy heavyweight just green‑lit a US $900 million spend on Clear Fork, a 600‑megawatt solar farm sprouting outside San Antonio. Construction crews are already pouring foundations, and the company says panels will start feeding the Texas grid—and Enbridge’s bottom line—by the summer of 2027.
Every electron is spoken for. Meta Platforms has inked a 20‑year offtake agreement to snap up 100 percent of Clear Fork’s output, funneling clean power to a growing constellation of Gulf Coast data centers that crunch Instagram reels, Oculus worlds and AI models around the clock. The deal locks in predictable revenue for Enbridge while helping Meta edge closer to its 24/7 carbon‑free goal.
Analysts see the move as proof that Big Tech’s insatiable energy needs are reshaping North America’s renewables map. For Enbridge, better known for oil and gas pipelines, the solar splash diversifies earnings and signals confidence that tech‑driven demand will keep utility‑scale projects bankable—especially in tariff‑free, sun‑soaked Texas.
