Meta partners with Overview Energy to explore solar power beamed from space
Meta has signed a deal with Overview Energy to explore using satellites to beam infrared light to solar farms, enabling continuous power for data centers. This initiative aims to address the growing electricity needs of Meta's data centers, which consumed over 18,000 gigawatt-hours in 2024. The technology could reduce reliance on fossil fuels and improve the ROI of solar farms if successfully scaled.
