Meta announced an agreement with ultra-long duration energy storage company Noon Energy, reserving up to 100 GWh of energy storage capacity to provide continuous power for its data center infrastructure.
Under the agreement, Meta will secure up to 1GW of energy storage capacity, with initial collaboration on a 25MW project, scheduled for completion by 2028. Following completion of the project, Noon will begin delivering systems under the 1GW supply agreement.
Energy storage forms one of the key building blocks for the rapidly expanding clean energy transition, given the intermittent generating nature of many sources of renewable energy, such as wind and solar, and the need to satisfy round-the-clock energy demand, while ensuring that energy is not wasted, particularly as demand on the grid grows from areas such as transport electrification and AI computing.
Founded in 2018, California-based Noon Energy develops ultra-long-duration energy storage systems capable of storing energy for over 100 hours, using abundant elements, such as carbon and oxygen instead of scarce metals like lithium.
According to the company, its modular, solid oxide fuel cell-based systems enable multi-day energy storage and discharge, providing firm, 24/7 clean energy during periods of low renewable generation.
Noon has raised more than $45 million in venture capital and government grants from At One Ventures, Emerson Collective, Clean Energy Ventures, Aramco Ventures, Prime Impact Fund, Elemental Impact, Sabanci Climate Ventures, D3 Jubilee, the California Energy Commission, and others.
Chris Graves, co-founder and CEO of Noon Energy said:
“We’re partnering with a company that is actively securing stable power for the AI infrastructure of tomorrow, and Meta recognizes the promise in our 100+ hour ultra-long duration storage technology. Data centers stand as one of the best applications for Noon’s battery system, and we look forward to working with Meta on building production capacity and an ultra-LDES supply chain in the years ahead.”
Meta, the owner of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, has set targets to reach net-zero emissions across its value chain by 2030, and to continue to match 100% of the electricity used in its data centers and offices with renewable energy. The company ranked as the largest corporate clean energy offtaker globally in 2025, according to a recent report by BloombergNEF, contracting 10.24 GW in the year.
Nat Sahlstrom, VP of Energy and Sustainability at Meta said:
“Bringing data centers online faster requires rapid deployment of reliable energy sources. Our agreement with Noon advances that goal with a storage technology that delivers grid resilience and firm power.”
