Adapture Renewables has signed three environmental attributes purchase agreements with Meta to procure 330 MW from three solar projects under development in Illinois and Arkansas.

Situated in federally-designated energy communities where a coal facility had been closed, the three projects bring an estimated net economic impact of more than $400 million, says Adapture. It adds that these projects are set to create approximately 500 temporary jobs during the construction phase and maintain around 25 full-time equivalent positions during operations.

“We are proud to partner with progress-minded, global corporate partners like Meta to drive adoption of renewable energy,” says Adapture’s Jesse Tippett. “Working with Meta on these agreements was a delight. The Meta team was efficient and matched our dedication to scaling clean energy, bringing economic opportunities to the energy communities hosting our projects, and achieving three win-win agreements.”
