Apex Clean Energy announced that Altavista Solar has executed a power purchase agreement with Facebook for a 61.6MW portion of the project located in Campbell County, Virginia

At 80 MW, the overall Altavista Solar project will be Apex’s largest solar project to date and the company’s first renewable energy facility on the East Coast. The project will help support Facebook’s operations in Virginia

The deal, which will help support Facebook’s operations in Virginia, is Apex’s second major transaction with the tech company this year. In August, Facebook signed a 200 MW PPA with Aviator Wind East, which Apex said, "will be part of the largest single-phase, single-site wind project in the United States once it begins operations in Coke County, Texas, in 2020."
