Sunraycer, Meta Sign Pact For 240 MW of Solar Projects In Texas

Sunraycer Renewables LLC, a US-based clean energy developer and operator, said Monday it has signed two Environmental Attribute Purchase Agreements (EAPAs) with Meta Platforms Inc. for its Midpoint and Gaia solar projects in Texas.

Under the agreements, Meta will buy 100 percent of the environmental attributes from Sunraycer’s Midpoint Solar project in Hill County and the Gaia Solar project in Navarro County. The deals will support constructing the first sites in Sunraycer’s 4-gigawatt (GWac) portfolio of solar and battery storage facilities.

The Midpoint Solar project, located near Blum, Texas, is expected to provide 127 megawatts (MWdc) / 97.5 MW (MWac) to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) grid. Commercial operations are scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The Gaia Solar project, near Kerens, Texas, will deliver an additional 184 MWdc / 143 MWac to the ERCOT grid and is also expected online by late Q4 2025.

“This partnership with Meta underscores our commitment to delivering high-quality, utility-scale solar projects that drive the transition to clean energy,” said David Lillefloren, chief executive of Sunraycer.

Meta’s global head of energy, Urvi Parekh, said the projects will support the tech company’s goal of powering operations with 100 percent clean and renewable energy.

Sunraycer, based in Annapolis, Maryland, is a portfolio company of Crayhill Capital Management. It continues to expand its partnerships through its Accelerant Program, which offers flexible capital solutions to smaller developers and access to institutional-level operations, energy and asset management services.

The company was advised by law firm Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP. Sunraycer is developing approximately 2 GW of solar and 2 GW of battery energy storage system (BESS) projects across the United States.
