Meta确认已不再属于企业可再生能源倡议 RE100,结束了长达十年的成员关系。与此同时,这家公司正持续扩大天然气发电布局,以满足 AI 数据中心快速增长的用电需求。

过去一年连推电站项目

随着 AI 业务推高算力需求,Meta 一边继续采购可再生能源,一边加快天然气供电建设。TechCrunch 报道称,过去一年里,Meta 已为至少十余座天然气电站提供支持。

  • 2025 年 6 月公布俄亥俄州 200 兆瓦项目
  • 随后在路易斯安那州推进 3 座大型电站
  • 2026 年 4 月再为同一项目追加 7 座电站

其中,服务于 Hyperion 数据中心的 10 座电站合计装机规模达到 7.5 吉瓦。按报道说法,这一规模已相当于美国南达科他州的整体用电水平,甚至更高。

RE100成员关系结束

RE100 由英国非营利机构 Climate Group 发起,主要为企业实现 100% 可再生电力目标提供政策和技术支持。Meta 向 TechCrunch 表示,此次退出是双方共同决定,但没有说明具体原因。

报道提到,Climate Group 近期更新了成员企业指引,要求更严格地披露可再生能源目标进展。Meta 此前曾向 RE100 表示,计划在 2020 年前让全部运营使用可再生电力。

目前,苹果、谷歌和微软仍在 RE100 的成员名单中。较早前,Recharge News 已率先披露 Meta 退出该组织的消息。

仍维持可再生能源表述

Meta 通过发言人称,仍致力于让数据中心用电与“100% 清洁和可再生能源”相匹配。报道指出,这类目标通常可以通过购买环境属性证书来实现,即以其他地区的可再生发电量,对冲数据中心的年度耗电量。

TechCrunch 还提到,部分科技公司正尝试按小时匹配用电与发电,以减少统计口径与实际供电之间的差异。微软正推进更严格的匹配方式,谷歌也在部分项目中采用可再生能源配合电池储能的方案。

报道认为,Meta 并非唯一投资化石能源项目的科技公司,但在为 AI 数据中心扩张而押注天然气方面,其动作尤为突出。
