Meta pulls out of Renewable EnergyPlan
Meta announced its withdrawal from the "RE100" renewable energy initiative, amid the expansion of data centers relying on artificial intelligence that consume vast amounts of energy. The company confirmed that it will continue investing in clean energy sources and offset its electricity consumption through wind and solar projects, despite Climate Group's view that reliance on new gas plants represents a step back from sustainability standards. This decision comes as tech companies compete to build large AI facilities, which have driven up energy demand, and as they sign agreements to purchase natural gas from energy providers.
