Working alongside Walton Electric Membership and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), Silicon Ranch will supply renewable power to serve Meta's (META) data centers in Georgia and the Tennessee Valley. It will fund, build, own, operate and maintain the solar facilities over the life of each of the seven projects.
