Enbridge is developing a $1.2 billion solar and battery storage project in Wyoming to support Meta’s growing data center operations in the United States. The project expands the companies’ renewable energy partnership, which now totals approximately 1.6 GW of contracted capacity across North America.
The first phase of the Cowboy Project will combine 365 MW of solar generation with a 200 MW/1600 MWh battery energy storage system near Cheyenne, Wyoming. The integrated system will supply dispatchable power for Meta’s data center operations while supporting grid reliability and renewable energy integration.
Cheyenne Light, Fuel and Power (CLFP) will deliver electricity from the project to Meta through Wyoming’s Large Power Contract Service tariff. The tariff structure allows utilities to serve large-load customers such as data centers without affecting retail electricity rates for other customers.
Tesla will supply and service the project’s battery systems under a long-term battery tolling agreement with CLFP. Project developers expect the facility to enter service by the end of 2027. The Cowboy Project ranks among the larger utility-scale solar and storage developments tied to rising U.S. data center electricity demand. Battery storage will allow the project to store excess solar generation and discharge electricity during periods of higher grid demand.
