TotalEnergies Secures 1 GW Solar Supply for Google Data Centers

In the data center and digital infrastructure sector, access to reliable, low-carbon electricity has become a critical requirement as AI workloads and cloud services continue to expand. TotalEnergies has signed two long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to supply 1 GW of solar capacity to Google’s data centers in Texas, corresponding to 28 TWh of renewable electricity over 15 years.

Utility-scale solar projects under development in Texas
The PPAs are backed by two TotalEnergies-owned solar projects currently under development in Texas: the Wichita project (805 MWp) and Mustang Creek (195 MWp). Construction of both sites is scheduled to begin in Q2 2026, adding new generation capacity directly into the ERCOT market. By sourcing power from newly built assets, the agreements contribute additional supply to a grid facing growing demand from hyperscale data centers.

These projects are expected to generate several hundred jobs during the construction phase and provide long-term tax revenues to local communities, supporting public services throughout the operational lifetime of the plants.

Supporting AI-driven electricity demand with new capacity
The 1 GW of solar PPAs complements 1.2 GW of separate gross PPAs recently secured by Clearway—50% owned by TotalEnergies—to supply Google’s data centers across multiple U.S. power markets, including ERCOT, PJM, and SPP. Together, these agreements illustrate how large-scale renewable generation can be paired with long-term contracts to support energy-intensive digital infrastructure.

According to TotalEnergies, the Texas agreements address two recurring constraints for data centers: land availability and power supply scalability. By enabling large-scale colocation of generation and consumption, the PPAs support both decarbonization objectives and operational reliability.

Power solutions tailored to large electricity consumers
TotalEnergies’ U.S. renewable portfolio currently includes 10 GW of gross capacity across solar, wind, and battery storage assets, with a significant concentration in Texas. The company positions long-term PPAs as a key tool for delivering predictable, low-carbon electricity to industrial and digital customers with high and continuous power demand.

For Google, the agreements add new generation to the local grid, increasing the availability of affordable and reliable electricity not only for data centers but for the wider region as well.

Electricity as a core growth pillar
Globally, TotalEnergies continues to expand its electricity business by combining renewable generation with flexible assets such as gas-fired power plants and energy storage. As of late 2025, the company reported more than 32 GW of installed renewable electricity capacity and targets over 100 TWh of net electricity production by 2030, underlining the strategic role of large-scale power supply agreements in its energy transition roadmap.
