Meta to draw power from space… Secures 24-hour data center electricity with space-based solar power

Meta signed a large power procurement agreement with Overview Energy to secure up to 1 GW of capacity for data centers.

The plan uses satellites to capture solar energy in orbit and beam it back to Earth, helping cover nighttime power gaps.

The investment targets rising AI-driven electricity demand with a new kind of renewable supply chain beyond conventional grid sourcing.

The deal could be an early signal that space-based power transmission is becoming a viable model for future energy infrastructure.
