GameChange to Supply Trackers for Sabanci's Texas Solar Projects Powering Meta Data Centers
GameChange Energy has selected its Genius Tracker™ solar tracker systems for the Pepper and Lucky 7 utility-scale solar projects in Texas, developed by Sabanci Renewables. Together, the projects will add 286 MWdc of new solar generation.
In a press release, the global energy infrastructure firm said the projects are expected to begin commercial operations in the second half of 2027. They will supply renewable energy to Meta under a long-term agreement, supporting the growing electricity demand from hyperscale data centre operations.
Texas has become one of the nation’s leading markets for both data centre development and utility-scale solar deployment, making it a strategic location for projects that connect renewable energy generation with rapidly expanding digital infrastructure. Similar projects are expected to accelerate across the United States as technology companies continue to invest in AI and cloud computing infrastructure.
GameChange Adds 68 GW+ Solar Tracker, Fixed-tilt Systems Worldwide
GameChange Energy’s Genius Tracker systems are designed to maximize energy production while reducing installation time and long-term operating costs. The company has added more than 68 GW of solar tracker and fixed-tilt systems deployed worldwide.
As AI, cloud computing, and digital infrastructure continue to accelerate, data centers have become one of the fastest-growing sources of electricity demand in the United States. Across Texas and other key markets, developers are increasingly pairing new utility-scale solar generation with long-term power purchase agreements to help meet this demand with reliable, cost-effective renewable energy.
“The rapid expansion of data centers is fundamentally changing how new power generation is being developed,” said Phillip Vyhanek, Chief Executive Officer of GameChange Energy. “We’re proud that Genius Tracker was selected for the Pepper and Lucky 7 projects, which demonstrate how utility-scale solar can help support the enormous energy requirements of modern digital infrastructure. We believe this represents just the beginning of a significant growth opportunity as developers and hyperscale customers continue investing in new renewable energy projects.”
