The electricity will come from two TotalEnergies-owned solar projects currently under development in Texas – Wichita (805 MWp) and Mustang Creek (195 MWp). Construction at both sites is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2026, according to the company’s statement.
The newly signed 1 GW agreements complement an additional 1.2 GW of gross PPAs secured by Clearway, a California-based renewables company that is 50 per cent owned by TotalEnergies. These agreements will support Google’s operations across the ERCOT (Texas), PJM (Northeast), and SPP (Central) electricity markets, strengthening renewable supply across multiple US regions.
Marc-Antoine Pignon, Vice President – Renewables, US for TotalEnergies, said: “We are pleased to sign these agreements to supply renewable electricity to Google in Texas, representing the largest renewable PPA volume ever signed by Total Energies in the United States. This highlights TotalEnergies’ strategy to deliver tailored renewable energy solutions that support the decarbonisation 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.”
Will Conkling, Director of Clean Energy and Power at Google, remarked: “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.”
TotalEnergies currently operates 10 GW of onshore solar, wind, and battery storage capacity in the US, including 5 GW in ERCOT and 400 MW in PJM.
