TotalEnergies signs 1 GW solar PPAs to power Google data centres in Texas

TotalEnergies has signed two new long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to supply 1 GW of solar capacity to Google’s data centres in Texas, marking the company’s largest renewable PPA volume ever concluded in the United States. The agreements will deliver around 28 TWh of renewable electricity over a 15-year period.

Solar Projects Under Development in Texas

The power will be generated from two TotalEnergies-owned solar projects currently under development in Texas: the 805 MWp Wichita project and the 195 MWp Mustang Creek project.

Construction of both facilities is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2026.

Complementing Clearway’s PPAs

The 1 GW of PPAs signed directly by TotalEnergies complements separate gross PPAs of 1.2 GW recently secured by Clearway Energy, a California-based renewables company that is 50 percent owned by TotalEnergies.

These additional agreements support Google’s data centres across the ERCOT market in Texas, the PJM market in the Northeast, and the SPP market in the Central United States.

Local Economic Benefits

According to the company, the Wichita and Mustang Creek solar farms will generate significant local benefits.

Several hundred jobs are expected to be created during the construction phase, while long-term tax revenues from the projects will help fund public services throughout their operating lifetimes.

“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”, said Marc-Antoine Pignon, Vice President Renewables US for TotalEnergies.

“This highlights TotalEnergies’ strategy to deliver tailored renewable energy solutions that support the decarbonization goals of digital players, particularly data centers. Through this PPA, TotalEnergies is also addressing the challenges of land availability and power supply for data centers by enabling large-scale colocation opportunities,” he added.

“Supporting a strong, stable, affordable grid is a top priority as we expand our infrastructure,” said Will Conkling, Director of Clean Energy and Power at Google.

“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,” Conkling added.

Expanding US renewable footprint

TotalEnergies currently has a gross capacity portfolio of around 10 GW of onshore solar, wind, and battery storage assets in operation across the United States.

This includes approximately 400 MW in the PJM market in the Northeast and about 5 GW in the ERCOT market in Texas.

Growing Corporate PPA Portfolio

The new power supply agreements with Google add to a growing list of corporate PPAs signed by TotalEnergies with global industrial and technology players, including Airbus, SWM, Google, Data4, STMicroelectronics, Saint-Gobain, Air Liquide, Amazon, LyondellBasell, Merck, Microsoft, Orange, and Sasol. 

TotalEnergies is building an electricity portfolio combining renewable energy sources such as solar and onshore and offshore wind with flexible assets including combined-cycle gas turbines and storage.

As of the end of October 2025, the company had more than 32 GW of installed gross renewable electricity generation capacity and is targeting more than 100 TWh of net electricity production by 2030.
