Meta

Clinton Clean Energy Center on Tuesday celebrated an agreement with Facebook parent Meta which will allow the plant to continue operating for the next 20 years after facing fears of closure.

Facebook parent Meta said Tuesday that it's signed a 20-year agreement to buy about 1.1 gigawatts of electricity from the Clinton nuclear power plant, starting in 2027, to support its "AI ambitions." The deal saves the closest nuclear plant to Bloomington-Normal from a possible closure.

The Alta wind farm west of Wapella has a power purchase agreement with Meta and its DeKalb Data Center.
