Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc. said a new data center it plans to build in the Netherlands will create hundreds of jobs and run entirely on renewable energy, amid a row in government over the environmental impact of such large-scale projects.
The facility in Zeewolde, located 55 kilometers east of Amsterdam, is expected to be the country’s largest and will eventually support over 1,000 construction and hundreds of operational jobs, a Meta spokesperson told Bloomberg on Friday. All of Meta’s data centers have achieved net zero carbon emissions, they added.
