Following its recent 20-year nuclear energy procurement agreement with Constellation Energy in the United States, Meta has now announced a new collaboration with Texas-based energy provider XGS Energy. The companies plan to develop a next-generation geothermal system in New Mexico to power Meta’s data centers, aiming to meet the soaring energy demands driven by advancements in artificial intelligence.
This partnership is expected to generate 150 megawatts of carbon-free electricity while reducing overall water usage to zero. The initiative will leverage New Mexico’s abundant hot rock resources to produce geothermal energy in an environmentally sustainable manner.
The project will be executed in two phases, both scheduled to become operational before 2030. Urvi Parekh, Meta’s Global Head of Energy, emphasized that the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence necessitates ongoing investments in foundational energy infrastructure. With XGS Energy’s next-generation geothermal technology now scalable, geothermal energy is poised to play a pivotal role in supporting technological advancement and the growth of U.S.-based data centers.
In a related announcement, Meta revealed it had entered into a 20-year agreement with Baltimore-based Constellation Energy to purchase nuclear energy from the Clinton Clean Energy Center in southern Illinois. This partnership, beginning in June 2027, will see Meta acquire approximately 1.1 gigawatts of electricity—equivalent to the full output of one nuclear reactor at the facility.
Additionally, Meta has pledged to invest in further expansion of its electrical grid infrastructure, though the financial details of the agreement remain undisclosed.
