Hanwha Solutions’ (009830.KS) Qcells division, known as Hanwha Qcells, has won a contract to supply modules and provide engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services for a solar project that will supply renewable power to U.S. big tech company Meta, the company said Thursday.<\/p>\n
Hanwha Qcells recently signed a contract with U.S. renewable energy developer Zelestra Energy to supply about 320,000 modules and handle EPC for a 200-megawatt (MW) solar power plant to be built in Gibson County, Indiana.<\/p>\n
A 200 MW solar power plant can generate enough electricity to power approximately 36,000 U.S. households for one year. The plant is scheduled for completion at the end of next year, and under a power purchase agreement (PPA) between the developer and Meta, the electricity produced at the plant after completion will be used by Meta.<\/p>\n
The plant will be built on a site that was formerly a coal mining area. The project’s name, “Reclamation,” reflects the idea of restoring a past industrial site whose development and use had ended, converting it into a hub for eco-friendly energy production.<\/p>\n
To meet the electricity demand that has surged recently with the spread of data centers and artificial intelligence (AI), big tech companies are actively working to secure renewable energy such as solar power. According to BloombergNEF, four big tech companies \u2014 Meta, Amazon, Google and Microsoft \u2014 accounted for about 49% of global corporate renewable energy purchases as of last year.<\/p>\n
Hanwha Qcells last month completed “Solar Hub,” North America’s largest integrated solar manufacturing base, in Georgia, and has since begun full-scale operation of its entire value chain. Based on its local solar equipment manufacturing capabilities, it is supplying integrated solutions spanning financing and EPC in the North American market.<\/p>\n
“Based on our manufacturing capabilities in the United States and our proven EPC execution capacity, Hanwha Qcells will support the clean energy goals of global big tech companies that want to be supplied with power stably and economically,” said Chris Hodrick, head of Hanwha Qcells’ EPC business division.<\/p>\n
