How TotalEnergies Will Power Google's New Texas Data Centres

TotalEnergies has signed two 15-year Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) to supply 1GW of solar-generated electricity to Google’s data centres across Texas. The deal will deliver 28TWh of renewable power, reinforcing the French energy company’s role in providing large-scale, long-term clean energy for corporate offtakers.

The electricity will be sourced from TotalEnergies’ Texas-based solar developments – Wichita (805MWp) and Mustang Creek (195MWp) – both due to begin construction in Q2 2026. Together they represent one of the largest single additions of renewable capacity contracted in the US this year.

These agreements come alongside a further 1.2GW of gross PPAs recently signed by Clearway Energy, a US renewable developer 50% owned by TotalEnergies, across the ERCOT, PJM and SPP markets.

Texas' expanding grid

The new projects are set to add several hundred construction jobs and generate long-term local tax income, strengthening regional economies as solar deployment accelerates.

Marc-Antoine Pignon, Vice President Renewables US for TotalEnergies, says: “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 US.

“This highlights TotalEnergies’ strategy to deliver tailored renewable energy solutions that support the decarbonization goals of digital players, particularly data centres.

“Through this PPA, TotalEnergies is also addressing the challenges of land availability and power supply for data centres by enabling large-scale colocation opportunities.”

By securing long-term solar capacity, TotalEnergies is not only meeting corporate demand for clean energy but also supporting grid reliability in a fast-growing power market.

How corporate demand is driving the growth of renewable energy

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

“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.”

This collaboration underlines how new renewable projects can help utilities and grid operators balance corporate decarbonisation goals with local system needs.

TotalEnergies currently operates a gross capacity portfolio of 10GW of onshore solar, wind and battery assets in the US, including 400MW in PJM and 5GW in ERCOT, making it a top-tier independent power producer in the American renewables market.

TotalEnergies' B2B energy portfolio

TotalEnergies continues to expand its portfolio of corporate energy supply agreements, now including customers such as Airbus, SWM, Data4, STMicroelectronics, Saint-Gobain, Air Liquide, Amazon, LyondellBasell, Merck, Microsoft, Orange and Sasol.

These deals demonstrate the company’s ability to combine solar, wind and storage to offer firm, flexible renewable power at scale.

Through its integrated model, TotalEnergies develops energy systems that merge variable generation with battery storage and gas-fired back-up where needed.

This approach allows digital operators, particularly data centres, to meet future power needs securely while cutting carbon intensity.

At the end of October 2025, TotalEnergies had installed more than 32GW of renewable generation globally and aims to produce over 100TWh of net electricity by 2030.

As grid reliability and carbon efficiency become central to technology infrastructure, long-term PPAs such as the agreements with Google highlight how large-scale solar will underpin the next chapter of energy system transformation.
