yahoo news | Zuckerberg's Meta taps Musk's Tesla for massive clean energy project

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Meta, led by Mark Zuckerberg, has teamed up with Canadian energy firm Enbridge to launch a massive renewable‑energy venture near Cheyenne, Wyoming, featuring a 365‑megawatt solar farm paired with a 200‑megawatt/1,600‑megawatt‑hour Tesla‑supplied battery storage system valued at about $200 million. Called the first phase of the “Cowboy Project,” the initiative will supply clean power to Meta’s regional data centers under Wyoming’s Large Power Contract Service tariff, which is designed for hyperscale loads without raising retail rates. The long‑term tolling agreement for the batteries provides dispatchable capacity to bolster grid reliability during peak demand, addressing the challenge of integrating large‑scale renewables with the growing electricity needs of AI‑driven data centers. This partnership builds on prior Enbridge‑Meta projects in Texas, bringing their combined renewable and storage capacity to roughly 1.6 GW and underscoring the increasing demand among tech giants for low‑carbon, reliable energy solutions.

"In examining the administration’s safety records from the past 16 years, the study found that the regulatory body has never permanently shut down a pipeline, no matter how severe a leak or rupture has been.

Opponents have referred to the more than 70-year-old pipeline as a ticking time bomb, citing a previous spill from Enbridge’s Line 6B and multiple anchor strikes which dented the dual pipelines and damaged structural supports as causes for concern. Enbridge maintains that the pipeline is operating safely as it seeks to replace the two segments operating in the Straits of Mackinac with a new segment housed inside a maintenance tunnel beneath the lakebed."
