Enbridge and Meta have expanded their clean energy partnership with a 365-megawatt solar and 200-megawatt battery storage project in Wyoming to supply power to Meta’s growing data center operations.
The Cowboy Project Phase I, located near Cheyenne, includes a 1,600 megawatt-hour battery energy storage system with Tesla supplying the batteries. Enbridge expects to invest about 1.2 billion dollars in construction and target commercial service by the end of 2027.
Power will be delivered through Cheyenne Light, Fuel and Power under Wyoming’s Large Power Contract Service tariff, designed to serve large data center loads without affecting retail electricity rates for residential customers. Storage capacity is contracted under a long-term battery tolling agreement with the utility.
Including this project, Enbridge and Meta have partnered on approximately 1.6 gigawatts of solar, wind and storage capacity across North America. The deal supports Meta’s Project Cosmo data center complex under construction in Cheyenne, part of the company’s broader commitment to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on AI infrastructure through 2028.
Tesla will supply batteries for the 1,600 megawatt-hour storage component of the Cowboy Project near Cheyenne. Power delivery uses Wyoming’s Large Power Contract Service tariff developed with Microsoft and Black Hills Energy. Enbridge and Meta have now partnered on roughly 1.6 gigawatts of renewable capacity across North America including prior solar agreements.
