CEBA COMMENDS META’S HISTORIC CLEAN ENERGY ANNOUNCEMENT

Three agreements will bring up to 6.6 GW of nuclear generation to the grid by 2035

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CEBA, the Clean Energy Buyers Association, applauds Meta on its latest commitment to clean energy procurement — one of the largest corporate clean energy purchases in U.S. history. This investment of 6.6 GW of clean, reliable nuclear power onto the grid underscores how CEBA members are stepping up to meet rapidly growing electricity demand — supporting economic growth while strengthening U.S. competitiveness in the global technology race.

This announcement builds on the momentum of CEBA members’ collective procurement of more than 24 GW of clean energy in 2025. Additionally, Meta’s commitment to innovative advanced nuclear technology highlights a trend of corporate energy buyers driving solutions now and for the future. Last year, CEBA saw over 3 GW of corporate procurement of clean firm generation, such as nuclear, geothermal, and hydro.

While CEBA anticipates another banner year in 2026, CEBA and our members recognize that scaling these solutions will require continued progress on commonsense yet critical policies and market structures. Advancing these frameworks is essential to accelerating the deployment of low-cost, affordable, and carbon emissions–free power at the pace and scale the U.S. economy requires.

We commend Meta for its leadership and this important milestone, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration to drive meaningful, durable progress toward a cleaner, more reliable energy future.

QUOTE FROM RICH POWELL, CEO, CEBA
