RWE has signed long-term PPAs with Meta for two solar farms under construction: the 274 MW County Run Solar project in Illinois and the 100 MW Lafitte Solar project in Louisiana.
Both sites are expected to be in commission by the end of next year.
“RWE’s continued investment in the U.S. renewables market is underpinned by new opportunities to partner with leading technology companies like Meta, which are driving demand for clean energy to support their operations,” says Andrew Flanagan, CEO of RWE Clean Energy.
“Today, we are able to meet this moment and generate impact with our rapidly scaling U.S. renewables platform to drive decarbonization across all industries, while fueling economic growth and job creation in those communities where we own and operate these facilities.”
Lafitte Solar is the company’s first utility-scale solar project to break ground in Louisiana. It is partnering with McCarthy Building Companies to construct the farm.
County Run Solar is RWE’s second utility-scale solar farm under construction in Illinois. The company enlisted Blattner Energy to build the project.

When I was in college in the 1970s, I recall hearing people say, “We’ll have solar energy when the Rockefellers own the sun.”
Nothing’s changed too much in half a century.
It’s hard to imagine how certain politicians can lose in the 2026 midterms, even with “the kiss of death” (Trump’s endorsement).
This guy’s district in Texas is largely the panhandle, far from the more educated and sophisticated parts of the state in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin.
He’s a physician and retired admiral.
If for some horrible reason I lived in a town in that district, perhaps called Buzzardsbreath, TX, I would probably vote for him myself, even with Trump’s endorsement.
Even Trump’s Endorsement Can’t Ruin This Guy’s Chances in His Race for Office
I met a guy yesterday you told me, “We live on this planet at the generosity of the forces of nature. These privileges can be withdrawn at any time, and without notice.”
I thought that was clever.
