TotalEnergies has signed two long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Google to provide 1GW of solar energy in Texas, US, over a period of 15 years.

This energy, equivalent to 28TWh, will be generated from the Wichita and Mustang Creek sites currently under development by TotalEnergies in Texas, specifically for Googleโ€™s data centres in the region.

Construction on these sites is expected to commence in the second quarter (Q2) of 2026.

Google director of clean energy and power Will Conkling said: โ€œSupporting a strong, stable, affordable grid is a top priority as we expand our infrastructure.

โ€œOur 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.โ€

The newly established PPAs, amounting to 1GW, enhance the separate agreements for 1.2GW recently obtained by Clearway.

Clearway, a renewable energy company based in California and half-owned by TotalEnergies, will support Googleโ€™s data centres across various markets, including ERCOT in Texas, PJM in the Northeast, and SPP in the Central region.

The development of the Wichita and Mustang Creek solar farms is expected to provide considerable advantages to local communities.

The construction phase will create several hundred jobs, and the projects are anticipated to deliver substantial tax revenues that will support public services throughout their operational lifespan.

TotalEnergies US vice president renewables Marc-Antoine Pignon said: โ€œWe 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.

โ€œThis highlights TotalEnergiesโ€™ strategy to deliver tailored renewable energy solutions that support the decarbonisation goals of digital players, particularly data centres.

โ€œThrough this PPA, TotalEnergies is also addressing the challenges of land availability and power supply for data centres by enabling large-scale colocation opportunities,โ€ he added.

TotalEnergies operates a portfolio in the US with a total gross capacity of 10GW, comprising onshore solar, wind, and battery storage assets.

This includes 400MW within the PJM market in the Northeast and 5GW in Texasโ€™s ERCOT market.

In December 2025, TotalEnergies signed a 21-year PPA with Google to deliver 1TWh of certified renewable power from the Citra Energies solar plant, which is located in northern Kedah, Malaysia.
