A $10 billion investment in northeast Louisiana is a powerful statement about the future of energy and innovation.
With its new AI data center in Richland Parish, Meta is pairing large-scale digital infrastructure with an equally ambitious clean energy strategy.
Here’s what stands out:
Meta has pledged to match the facility’s electricity use with 100% clean and renewable energy.
In partnership with Entergy Louisiana, the project will bring at least 1,500 MW of new renewable energy to the grid through the Geaux Zero program.
Meta has committed to restoring more water than the data center consumes by investing in Louisiana-based water restoration projects.
Up to $1 million annually to support low-income ratepayers through “The Power to Care,” matched by Entergy Louisiana.
At a time when AI workloads are driving unprecedented energy demand, this project demonstrates that growth and sustainability can move forward together. It’s about powering servers, modernizing the grid, accelerating renewable deployment, and strengthening local communities.
This is what the future of infrastructure looks like: digital transformation powered by cleaner, smarter, safe, resilient energy systems.
