A huge new Utah solar farm could power half a million homes. It will fuel Facebook and Instagram instead.

Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta will draw electricity from 1.3 million solar panels in a remote corner of Utah County.

(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) Piles have been driven in for about 30% of a huge solar farm under construction near Fairfield on Tuesday, Dec. 19, 2023. The piles eventually will hold rows of solar panels that will pivot with the sun to generate power for Facebook parent company Meta.
