Served under Black Hills Energy Large Power Contract Service tariff with customized renewable procurement. Meta and Black Hills Energy partnered to add new renewable resources to the Wyoming grid. Note: Meta signed a separate January 2026 portfolio-wide PPA with TerraPower for up to 8 remote Natrium reactors (power delivery via grid, not at the Cheyenne site); no on-site nuclear generation planned at this location per cited sources.
