Meta's Major Clean Energy Initiative Receives Praise from CEBA Leaders

Meta's Major Commitment to Clean Energy

In a groundbreaking announcement, the Clean Energy Buyers Association (CEBA) has commended Meta for its historic commitment to clean energy procurement, marked as one of the largest corporate clean energy purchases in U.S. history. By securing an astonishing 6.6 gigawatts (GW) of reliable nuclear power to be integrated into the grid by 2035, Meta is demonstrating strong leadership in the rapidly evolving clean energy landscape.

As the global demand for electricity escalates, CEBA emphasizes the importance of this initiative not just for environmental sustainability but also for enhancing U.S. economic competitiveness. The infusion of nuclear power into the energy market underlines how influential corporate energy buyers are in facilitating effective solutions that meet immediate and future energy needs. CEBA’s members collectively procured over 24 GW of clean energy in 2025, showcasing a strong trend in corporate responsibility towards more sustainable energy sources.

The Shift Towards Advanced Nuclear Technology

Meta's commitment encapsulates a broader shift towards innovative technologies in nuclear energy. Following last year’s performance, which introduced over 3 GW of clean generation from advanced nuclear, geothermal, and hydro sources, this recent procurement signals a robust future for sustainable energy—a future where corporate entities take the helm in addressing energy challenges.

Rich Powell, the CEO of CEBA, remarked, "Meta's latest commitment—bringing 6.6 GW of reliable and advanced nuclear power to the grid—underscores the critical role energy buyers play in not only meeting growing electricity demand but also in supporting economic growth. This historic announcement builds on the more than 24 GW of clean energy procured by CEBA members last year and reflects our concerted efforts to lead America towards a carbon-neutral future."

This pivotal step by Meta aligns perfectly with CEBA’s vision of mobilizing energy customers to influence market and policy reforms that are essential for a low-carbon energy system. By uniting under this vision, CEBA's members—who together represent a staggering $38 trillion in market capitalization—span a range of sectors including corporate and industrial companies, universities, and municipalities.

Building a Sustainable Future Together

The drive towards a cleaner energy landscape is accelerating, but it will require ongoing collaboration to overcome the barriers that hinder the widespread adoption of such technologies. CEBA is optimistic about 2026 being another impressive year for corporate clean energy procurement, predicting that if these essential policies and market frameworks are put in place, it could solidify the deployment of affordable, emissions-free power.

“As we forge ahead, we must prioritize scaling renewable energy solutions,” urges Powell. "Our collaboration with companies like Meta is vital to ensure sustainable practices that advance the U.S. economy while generating positive environmental impacts."

In conclusion, Meta's historic clean energy investment is more than just a corporate responsibility initiative; it is a paradigmatic shift in how major corporations approach energy procurement. By prioritizing advanced nuclear technology and engaging in substantial clean energy commitments, Meta not only sets a model for others to follow but also plays a significant role in enhancing the reliability and sustainability of the U.S. energy grid. CEBA looks forward to continuing its partnership with Meta to deliver affordable, reliable energy solutions for a cleaner future.
