TotalEnergies has agreed to supply 1 gigawatt of solar energy for Google’s data centres in Texas, United States.
The French oil major signed two new long-term power purchase agreements (PPA) to supply energy generated from two large solar farms that TotalEnergies is developing in Texas: the Wichita project, which is capable of generating 805 MWp, and the Mustang Creek project, which will generate 95 MWp.
Construction of both sites is planned to begin in the second quarter of 2026.
The new agreements with Google add to the 1.2 GW of gross PPAs recently secured by Clearway, a California-based renewables company 50 per cent owned by TotalEnergies, to support Google’s data centres across the ERCOT (Texas), PJM (Northeast), and SPP (Central) markets.
Marc-Antoine Pignon, Vice President Renewables US for TotalEnergies said the agreements with Google represent the largest renewable PPA volume signed by TotalEnergies in the US.
“This highlights TotalEnergies’ strategy to deliver tailored renewable energy solutions that support the decarbonisation goals of digital players, particularly data centres,” Pignon said.
“Through this PPA, TotalEnergies is also addressing the challenges of land availability and power supply for data centres by enabling large-scale co-location opportunities.”
Will Conkling, Google’s Director of Clean Energy and Power, said that strengthening the reliability and stability of the local grid is a priority for the company as it expands its 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,” Conkling said.
TotalEnergies currently operates a gross capacity of 10 GW of onshore solar, wind, and battery storage assets in the US, including 400 MW located in the PJM region and 5 GW within the ERCOT region in Texas.
