Meta exits RE100 as peers stay — the only hyperscaler out of the renewable energy initiative

Meta has withdrawn from RE100, the global corporate renewable energy initiative, after committing to 10 natural gas plant projects — capacity enough to power South Dakota. Climate Group, which oversees RE100, said Meta "is no longer able to meet the technical criteria due to investments made in new gas power." Meta called the departure "mutual." Microsoft, Google, and Apple all remain in the initiative.
