Meta To Use Geothermal Power In US Data Centres

Meta (Facebook and Instagram’s parent company) says it has struck a deal to buy geothermal power from Sage Geosystems to supply its U.S. data-centres. 

Why? 

Meta’s deal with Sage Geosystems is part of its push to support its sustainability goals while trying to meet the growing energy demands of its AI infrastructure. Geothermal energy offers a continuous, carbon-free, and reliable power supply, unlike intermittent sources like solar and wind, thereby ensuring stable operations for energy-hungry AI technologies. Also, by diversifying its energy mix, Meta can enhance its resilience and reduce reliance on a single source, thua partnering with Sage supports clean energy innovation and offers long-term cost efficiency through geothermal’s stable operating costs.
