France-based energy giant TotalEnergies announced today that it has signed two new long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) with Google, providing the tech giant with 1 GW of solar capacity for 15 years to power its Texas-based data centers.
The agreement marks TotalEnergies’ largest renewable energy deal to date in the U.S., and will deliver the equivalent of 28 TWh of renewable electricity over the term of the PPAs.
Marc-Antoine Pignon, Vice President Renewables U.S. for 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. This highlights TotalEnergies’ strategy to deliver tailored renewable energy solutions that support the decarbonization goals of digital players, particularly data centers.”
The agreement marks the second major clean energy deal to be announced by Google over the past month, following a 1.2 GW deal with Clearway in January, to provide power to data centers in Missouri, Texas, and West Virginia. Clearway is 50% owned by TotalEnergies.
Google’s environmental targets include 2030 goals to reach net zero emissions across its operations and value chain, and its 24/7 CFE ambition, aiming to run its entire business on carbon-free energy (CFE) by 2030, matching electricity demand with CFE supply every hour of every day, in every region where the company operates. The company has signed more than 170 agreements to purchase over 23 GW of clean energy generation since 2010.
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.”
The power from the new agreements with TotalEnergies will be generated from two new projects located in Wichita and Mustang Creek, Texas. Construction on the new projects is expected to start in Q2 2026.
