Noon Energy has entered into an agreement with Meta Platforms, Inc. in which it will supply up to 1 gigawatt (GW)/100 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of energy storage capacity.
The collaboration will begin with a 25 megawatt (MW)/2.5 GWh project which is expected to reach completion by 2028. Noon will begin delivering systems under a 1 GW/100 GWh supply contract following the first project.
The ultra-long duration energy storage will power Meta’s AI infrastructure buildout; the company aims to utilize reliable energy from quick-to-build generation. The initiative also aligns with Noon’s desire to supply storage for hyperscaler applications.
“Our partnership with Meta is a monumental step toward realizing what we founded Noon to achieve,” said Chris Graves, co-founder and CEO of Noon Energy, in a statement. “We’re partnering with a company that is actively securing stable power for the AI infrastructure of tomorrow, and Meta recognizes the promise in our 100+ hour ultra-long duration storage technology.”
Noon’s modular, reversible solid oxide fuel cell systems can store and discharge energy for 100+ hours, providing 24/7 baseload clean power during periods of low renewable energy generation.
Graves continued, “Data centers stand as one of the best applications for Noon’s battery system, and we look forward to working with Meta on building production capacity and an ultra-LDES supply chain in the years ahead.”
