Both projects are scheduled to be completed in the second half of 2027. They’re expected to create more than 600 jobs during construction.
“Entering into a long-term renewable energy agreement with Meta is an important step for Sabanci Renewables as we continue to grow our presence in the United States,” said Tolga Kaan Doğancıoğlu, strategic investments and operations president, Sabanci Group. “For Sabanci Renewables, it also marks another strategic milestone in our US market journey and reinforces our focus on building durable partnerships with institutional and corporate off-takers.”
