Overview
- RWE and Meta announced the long-term power purchase agreement for the 298‑MW Rabbit’s Foot Solar project on Thursday, June 11, 2026.
- The Rabbit’s Foot site in Bowie County, Texas, began onsite construction earlier in 2026 and is targeted to reach commercial operation by the end of 2027.
- This is the fourth PPA between the two companies since 2024, bringing their combined signed capacity to 872 MW over the past two years.
- RWE projects the project will create nearly 200 local construction jobs and generate more than $50 million in tax revenue over 40 years for Bowie County and nearby entities.
- The deal fits RWE’s broader U.S. strategy — the company says it operates about 13 GW across 27 states and plans to add roughly 9 GW of net new capacity by 2031 — and depends on permitting, construction and grid interconnection to deliver power as planned.
