Airbus and French energy giant TotalEnergies announced the signing of two Power Purchase Agreements to supply 3.3 TWh of renewable electricity to Airbus’ major sites in Germany and the UK, aimed at reducing emissions and expanding the use of clean power across the aerospace company’s operations.
Under the new agreements, Airbus will source baseload electricity from new renewable energy assets with a total capacity of 200 MW under a long-term supply agreement extending into the next decade. The electricity generated will cover approximately 50% of the power demand of the UK and Germany sites, with supply scheduled to start in 2027, the company said.
Florent Massou dit Labaquère, Executive Vice President of Operations for Commercial Aircraft at Airbus, said:
“As Airbus continues to make steady progress towards our energy efficiency and emissions reduction targets, these power purchase agreements (PPA) with TotalEnergies demonstrates our long-term commitment to decarbonising our sites. These agreements will help Airbus secure reliable low-carbon energy, supporting our goal to increase renewable electricity across our sites.”
TotalEnergies has set a goal to reach more than 100 TWh of net electricity production by 2030, and reached 32 GW of installed gross renewable electricity generation capacity as of October 2025.
The new agreement follows a sustainable aviation fuel partnership in 2024 between the companies, with TotalEnergies supplying Airbus with SAF for more than half of its needs in Europe, and collaborating on R&D aimed at developing 100% sustainable fuels tailored to the design of current and future aircraft.
Stéphane Michel, President of Gas, Renewables and Power at TotalEnergies, said:
“Following last year’s announcement of our partnership in sustainable aviation fuel, we are pleased to sign these power purchase agreements with Airbus in Germany and the United Kingdom, two countries where TotalEnergies is growing quickly its production base and its sales.”
