TotalEnergies has signed two long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with Google to supply 1 gigawatt (GW) of solar power to the company’s data centers in Texas. The 15-year agreements will deliver an estimated 28 terawatt-hours of renewable electricity. The deal strengthens clean energy supply as digital infrastructure expands across the state.

TotalEnergies will generate the electricity from two solar projects it owns and is developing in Texas. These include the 805-megawatt peak Wichita project and the 195-megawatt peak Mustang Creek facility. The company plans to begin construction in the second quarter of 2026. Once completed, both projects will connect to the ERCOT grid, where demand continues to rise due to data center growth.

Meeting AI-Driven Power Demand

The 1 GW solar agreement builds on separate gross PPAs totaling 1.2 GW secured by Clearway Energy Group. Clearway, a California-based renewable energy company, is 50% owned by TotalEnergies. Those agreements support Google’s data center operations across several U.S. power markets. These include ERCOT in Texas, PJM in the Northeast, and the SPP market in the central United States.

Electricity demand from hyperscale data centers has surged as artificial intelligence workloads expand. To manage that growth, companies are signing long-term power contracts to stabilize supply and pricing. Large-scale solar projects are expected to reduce grid strain while helping companies meet decarbonization targets.

Economic Impact and Strategic Value

The Wichita and Mustang Creek projects are expected to create several hundred construction jobs. The facilities will also generate local tax revenue throughout their operating lifetimes, supporting public services in nearby communities.

Marc-Antoine Pignon, Vice President Renewables U.S. at TotalEnergies, called the agreement the largest renewable PPA volume the company has signed in the United States. He said the contracts reflect a broader strategy to deliver tailored renewable solutions to digital infrastructure operators. TotalEnergies also aims to enable large-scale colocation through integrated project development.

Will Conkling, Director of Clean Energy and Power at Google, said the projects will add new generation capacity to the local grid. He noted that the additional supply will help strengthen affordable and reliable electricity across the region.

Expanding TotalEnergies’ Renewable Portfolio

TotalEnergies currently operates 10 GW of onshore solar, wind, and battery storage capacity in the United States. That portfolio includes roughly 400 MW in the PJM market and 5 GW in ERCOT.

Globally, the company continues to expand its renewable footprint. As of the end of October 2025, TotalEnergies had installed more than 32 GW of gross renewable generation capacity worldwide. The company targets more than 100 terawatt-hours of net electricity production by 2030.

The Google agreements add to a growing list of corporate renewable contracts signed by TotalEnergies. Other partners include Airbus, Amazon, Microsoft, STMicroelectronics, and Air Liquide. Through these deals, the company is securing long-term clean power to support industrial and digital decarbonization efforts worldwide.
