TotalEnergies has signed two long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with Google to supply 1 GW of solar energy for the company’s data centers in Texas, marking the largest renewable PPA volume ever signed by TotalEnergies in the United States. The agreement will deliver approximately 28 TWh of renewable electricity over 15 years and support the growing power demand driven by artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure.
New Solar Projects to Power Google’s Texas Operations
The renewable energy will come from two TotalEnergies-owned solar projects currently under development in Texas:
Wichita solar farm: 805 MWp
Mustang Creek solar farm: 195 MWp
Construction of both projects is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2026. Once operational, the solar farms will provide large-scale, reliable renewable electricity for Google’s expanding data center footprint in the region.
These new agreements complement an additional 1.2 GW of gross PPAs recently secured by Clearway, a renewable energy company 50 percent owned by TotalEnergies. Clearway’s projects will support Google’s data centers across major U.S. power markets including ERCOT in Texas, PJM in the Northeast, and SPP in Central United States.
Supporting AI Growth With Reliable Renewable Energy
The demand for electricity from data centers is rising rapidly due to the expansion of artificial intelligence and cloud computing. The new solar capacity is designed to bring additional power generation online quickly to help maintain grid reliability and affordability.
Marc-Antoine Pignon, Vice President Renewables U.S. at TotalEnergies, said the agreement highlights the company’s strategy to deliver customized renewable energy solutions for digital companies. He noted that the partnership helps address land availability and power supply challenges by enabling large-scale colocation opportunities for data centers.
Will Conkling, Director of Clean Energy and Power at Google, emphasized the importance of grid stability as the company expands its infrastructure. He said the partnership adds new generation capacity to the local system and increases the availability of affordable and reliable power for the wider region.
Economic Benefits for Texas Communities
The Wichita and Mustang Creek solar projects are expected to deliver significant local economic benefits, including:
Creation of several hundred construction jobs
Long-term tax revenues supporting public services
Regional infrastructure and economic development
These projects reinforce Texas’ position as a key hub for large-scale renewable energy deployment and data center growth.
TotalEnergies Expands U.S. Renewable Portfolio
TotalEnergies continues to scale its renewable energy presence in the United States. The company currently holds a gross capacity portfolio of 10 GW of onshore solar, wind and battery storage assets nationwide. This includes:
5 GW in the ERCOT market in Texas
400 MW in the PJM market in the Northeast
Globally, TotalEnergies has built a broad portfolio of renewable and flexible power assets to supply clean electricity to major industrial and technology customers.
Growing Global Partnerships for Clean Power
The Google agreement adds to a growing list of long-term renewable power partnerships signed by TotalEnergies with major global companies including Airbus, Amazon, Microsoft, Orange, STMicroelectronics, Air Liquide and Merck. These partnerships demonstrate the company’s ability to combine diverse energy assets to support corporate decarbonization goals.
As of October 2025, TotalEnergies had more than 32 GW of installed renewable electricity generation capacity worldwide. The company aims to reach more than 100 TWh of net electricity production by 2030 as it continues to expand its clean energy portfolio.
Driving the Energy Transition for Digital Infrastructure
The 1 GW solar PPA with Google represents a major step in aligning renewable energy growth with the rising power needs of AI and digital infrastructure. By combining large-scale solar development with long-term corporate partnerships, TotalEnergies and Google are accelerating the transition toward cleaner and more reliable electricity for the data-driven economy.
