TotalEnergies to Provide 1 GW of Solar Power Capacity to Supply Google’s Data Centers in the U.S.

Long-Term PPAs Deliver 28 TWh of Renewable Electricity

 

TotalEnergies has signed two long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to supply 1 gigawatt (GW) of solar capacity to power data centers operated by Google in Texas. The agreements will deliver approximately 28 terawatt-hours (TWh) of renewable electricity over a 15-year period.

The electricity will be generated from two TotalEnergies-owned solar projects currently under development in Texas: the Wichita solar farm (805 MWp) and Mustang Creek (195 MWp). Construction for both projects is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2026.

 

Supporting Power Demand From AI and Data Center Expansion

 

The newly signed PPAs represent the largest renewable power purchase volume ever executed by TotalEnergies in the United States. They are designed to provide reliable, long-term electricity supply to support Google’s expanding data center footprint, driven in part by rising power demand from artificial intelligence workloads.

These agreements complement 1.2 GW of separate gross PPAs recently secured by Clearway Energy, a California-based renewable energy company that is 50% owned by TotalEnergies. Those contracts support Google’s data centers across multiple U.S. power markets, including ERCOT (Texas), PJM (Northeast), and SPP (Central United States).

Local Economic and Community Benefits in Texas

 

Beyond energy supply, the Wichita and Mustang Creek projects are expected to generate tangible local benefits. Several hundred jobs will be created during the construction phase, and the projects will contribute long-term tax revenues to support public services throughout their operational lifetimes.

Marc-Antoine Pignon, Vice President Renewables U.S. at TotalEnergies, said the agreements reflect the company’s strategy of delivering tailored renewable solutions for digital infrastructure customers. He noted that the projects also address challenges around land availability and power access by enabling large-scale colocation opportunities for data centers.

 

Grid Reliability and Affordability a Key Focus

 

Google emphasized that the PPAs will contribute new generation capacity to the Texas grid, improving overall system reliability. Will Conkling, Director of Clean Energy and Power at Google, said the agreement strengthens the availability of affordable and dependable electricity for the broader region as the company expands its infrastructure.

TotalEnergies’ Growing U.S. Renewable Portfolio

 

TotalEnergies currently holds a gross capacity portfolio of 10 GW of onshore solar, wind, and battery storage assets in operation across the United States. This includes approximately 5 GW in the ERCOT market in Texas and 400 MW in the PJM market in the northeastern U.S.

Globally, the company reported more than 32 GW of installed gross renewable electricity capacity as of the end of October 2025. TotalEnergies aims to exceed 100 TWh of net electricity production by 2030, combining renewable generation with flexible assets such as storage and gas-fired power to deliver firm, low-carbon electricity.
