TotalEnergies has signed two long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to deliver 1 gigawatt (GW) of solar capacity to power Google’s data centers in Texas, United States over the next 15 years. The agreements are expected to produce around 28 terawatt-hours (TWh) of renewable electricity during the contract period, helping Google meet its growing energy needs with clean power.
Solar Projects Under Development
TotalEnergies is working on two solar projects in Texas that will provide the solar energy. The Wichita project can produce 805 MWp of solar power, and the Mustang Creek project can produce 195 MWp of solar power. The building of both sites is set to begin in the second quarter of 2026.
Supporting Google’s Data Center Growth
The new deals help Google carry out its plan to use renewable energy to power its data centers. As data centers grow and the need for electricity grows, getting long-term clean energy supplies is important for both lowering carbon emissions and keeping energy costs stable.
TotalEnergies’ Statement
Marc-Antoine Pignon, Vice President of Renewables U.S. at TotalEnergies, said: “We are pleased to sign these agreements to supply renewable electricity to Google in Texas, representing the largest renewable PPA volume ever signed by TotalEnergies in the United States.”
He added that the deal reflects TotalEnergies’ strategy to deliver tailored renewable energy solutions to support the decarbonisation goals of major digital players.
Google’s Perspective
Will Conkling, Director of Clean Energy and Power at Google, said: “Supporting a strong, stable, affordable grid is a top priority as we expand our infrastructure. Our agreement with TotalEnergies adds necessary new generation to the local system, boosting the amount of affordable and reliable power supply available to serve the entire region.”
Broader Energy Context
The 1 GW deal adds to a broader trend of large technology companies entering long-term clean energy agreements with renewable developers. TotalEnergies already has around 10 GW of solar, wind, and battery storage assets operating in the U.S., including 5 GW in the Texas ERCOT market, a region critical for data center power supply.
