TotalEnergies Signs 1GW Solar PPA with Google

  • TotalEnergies has secured two long-term power purchase agreements to supply 1GW of solar power to Google’s Texas data centres.
  • The agreements will deliver 28TWh of renewable electricity over 15 years while strengthening grid reliability and supporting data centre decarbonisation.

TotalEnergies has signed two long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) to supply 1GW of solar power to Google’s data centres in Texas. This agreement strengthens the link between renewable energy generation and growing digital infrastructure demand.

The electricity will come from the Wichita 805MWp and Mustang Creek 195MWp solar projects in Texas. Construction will begin in the second quarter of 2026. Together, the projects will supply about 28TWh of renewable electricity over 15 years.

In addition, these agreements complement separate gross PPAs worth 1.2GW secured by Clearway. These projects will support Google’s data centre operations across the ERCOT, PJM and SPP power markets. As a result, Google will diversify its clean energy supply across multiple grid regions.

The Wichita and Mustang Creek projects will create several hundred construction jobs. They will also generate significant tax revenue for local communities. Therefore, the projects will support both economic growth and energy transition goals.

Marc-Antoine Pignon, Vice President of Renewables U.S. at TotalEnergies, described the agreement as a major milestone. He said it represents the company’s largest renewable PPA volume signed in the United States. He added that the deal supports decarbonisation efforts across the digital sector, especially for energy-intensive data centres.

Furthermore, the agreement helps address land and power supply constraints for data centre development. It does this by enabling large-scale co-location opportunities between renewable energy projects and data facilities.

Will Conkling, Director of Clean Energy and Power at Google, said grid stability and affordability remain key priorities. He explained that the new solar generation will strengthen local power supply and improve overall system reliability.

TotalEnergies operates a gross renewable capacity portfolio of about 10GW across solar, wind and battery storage in the United States. This includes about 400MW in PJM and about 5GW in ERCOT.

Moreover, the Google agreement adds to TotalEnergies’ growing list of corporate renewable supply partners. These include major industrial and technology companies across manufacturing, chemicals, and digital services.

The deal highlights how renewable energy partnerships continue to scale. At the same time, it shows how energy companies and technology firms are working together to meet climate targets and rising electricity demand.
