Meta has partnered with Overview Energy to secure up to 1 gigawatt of capacity from a space-based solar system. Commercial deliveries are expected by 2030, with the first orbital power-beaming test scheduled for 2028 and Meta granted priority access to capacity as the network expands.

Overview Energy’s satellites capture sunlight in orbit and convert it into low-intensity, near-infrared beams directed to existing terrestrial solar receivers. This approach leverages current ground infrastructure to provide continuous electricity generation, day and night, without new land or grid interconnection requirements.

The space solar deal complements Meta’s existing agreements with Vistra, Oklo and TerraPower, reinforcing its position as a major corporate purchaser of clean energy. It supports the growing power demands of Meta’s AI-focused data centers, including its large Louisiana campus backed by billions in energy infrastructure investments.
