Canadian energy firm Enbridge is set to build a 365MW/1,600MWh solar-plus-storage project in Wyoming, according to a report published on 2026-05-20 by PV Tech. The development, named the Cowboy project and located near Cheyenne, represents the latest phase in an ongoing partnership with tech giant Meta. The initial phase will provide power to Meta for its expanding data centre operations in the United States.
The collaboration between Meta and Enbridge now encompasses roughly 1.6GW of contracted energy capacity across North America. Enbridge has not disclosed a construction or operations timeline for the project. Allen Capps, Enbridge’s Senior Vice President of Corporate Strategy and President of Power business, stated that the first phase builds on their relationship with Meta and reflects a disciplined expansion of their power portfolio. He noted that combining utility-scale solar with battery storage delivers reliable, scalable energy solutions for Meta’s data centres and enhances grid performance.
Meta’s largest planned data centre development is the Hyperion construction in Louisiana, reportedly valued at US$200 billion and expected to be accompanied by 10 gas-fired power plants. Another major initiative, the Prometheus cluster of data centres in Ohio, is part of Meta’s commitment to spend US$600 billion on AI data centre infrastructure by 2028. In addition to significant water, land, and gas-fired energy use, Meta has invested heavily in U.S. solar power. Last week, the company announced 850MW of solar and energy storage power purchase agreements with DE Shaw Renewable Investments. Earlier this month, Meta signed a separate offtake deal with EDP for a 250MW solar PV project in Arkansas. The company has also entered a speculative agreement with U.S. startup Overview Energy for early access to space-based solar power, which would use satellites to beam energy from space to ground-based PV farms for potential 24/7 generation.
The U.S. data centre boom has generated intense debate, contrasting the economic and tax benefits these large developments bring to local regions with their effects on power grid stability, water tables, and local communities.
