Renewable energy developer Arevon Energy and Meta Platforms, formerly Facebook, have partnered on an environmental purchase agreement (EAPA) for Arevon’s Heirloom Solar Project in Pike County, Indiana, US, as the tech giant continues the “important work” of energy transition.

The 60MW Heirloom Solar Project recently started construction and it’s expected to be fully operational in the third quarter of 2025. Arevon will own and operate the Averon project as it does with the Kelso Solar project in Scott County, Missouri.
In March, Arevon and Meta signed two long-term EAPAs Scott County facility.
The energy supplier said at the time that the Kelso project will help support Meta’s operations in the region with 100% renewable energy.
Averon said it will own and operate the Kelso Solar Project. Kelso is set to start producing power in the fourth quarter of 2025.
