TotalEnergies signs landmark 15-year deal to power Google’s Texas data centres

TOTALENERGIES has entered into two long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to supply 1 gigawatt (GW) of solar capacity to Google, providing an estimated 28 terawatt-hours (TWh) of renewable electricity over the next 15 years for the tech giant’s data centres in Texas, the United States.

The agreements, announced by TotalEnergies on Monday, cover electricity to be generated from the company’s Texas-based projects currently under development: the Wichita solar farm with a capacity of 805 MWp and the Mustang Creek site at 195 MWp. Construction for both sites is scheduled to begin in the second quarter (Q2) of 2026.

Vice President of Renewables for TotalEnergies in the US, Mr Marc-Antoine Pignon,described the deal as a milestone for the company. “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 said.

Mr Pignon added that the agreements underscore TotalEnergies’ strategy to provide tailored renewable energy solutions that help digital players achieve their decarbonization goals. “Through this PPA, TotalEnergies is also addressing challenges such as land availability and reliable power supply for data centres, enabling large-scale colocation opportunities,” he explained.

The 1 GW secured under these new PPAs complements separate gross PPAs totaling 1.2 GW that were recently signed by Clearway, a California-based renewables company in which TotalEnergies holds a 50 percent stake. These projects aim to support Google’s data centres across the ERCOT (Texas), PJM (Northeast), and SPP (Central) electricity markets.

Beyond corporate sustainability, the Wichita and Mustang Creek solar farms are expected to deliver substantial benefits for local communities. Construction of the projects will create several hundred temporary jobs, while ongoing operations will generate tax revenues to support public services throughout the lifespan of the projects.

“Supporting a strong, stable, affordable grid is a top priority as we expand our infrastructure,” said Director of Clean Energy and Power at Google, Mr Will Conkling, “Our agreement with TotalEnergies adds necessary new generation to the local system, boosting the amount of affordable and reliable power available to serve the entire region.”

TotalEnergies’ US renewable portfolio currently comprises 10 GW of onshore solar, wind, and battery storage assets, including 400 MW in the PJM market in the Northeast and 5 GW in the ERCOT market in Texas. The partnership with Google adds to a growing list of corporate clients, which includes Airbus, SWM, Data4, STMicroelectronics, Saint-Gobain, Air Liquide, Amazon, LyondellBasell, Merck, Microsoft, Orange, and Sasol. These collaborations illustrate TotalEnergies’ ability to leverage a diverse energy asset portfolio to support customer decarbonisation efforts.

The company continues to build a competitive energy portfolio combining renewable sources, such as solar, onshore and offshore wind, with flexible assets such as combined-cycle gas turbines (CCGT) and battery storage to deliver clean, firm power to its customers. As of October 2025, TotalEnergies had more than 32 GW of installed gross renewable electricity generation capacity and aims to exceed 100 TWh of net electricity production by 2030.

This landmark deal with Google reflects a broader trend of collaboration between energy producers and tech companies in the US, where corporate demand for renewable electricity is driving the rapid expansion of large-scale solar and wind projects. It also demonstrates how global energy companies like TotalEnergies are positioning themselves to meet the dual challenge of supplying reliable electricity while supporting ambitious climate goals.

With construction set to start in mid-2026, the Wichita and Mustang Creek projects are expected to become operational in the coming years, marking another step in the transition toward a more sustainable and low-carbon energy future in the United States.
