TotalEnergies signs two long-term power purchase agreements with Google to supply 1 GW of solar capacity to data centers in Texas, generating 28 TWh of renewable electricity. Construction on two TotalEnergies-owned solar projects begins in the second quarter of 2026, reinforcing Texas’ role in meeting data center power demand.

The deal represents TotalEnergies’ largest volume of renewable PPAs in the U.S. as Texas faces mounting strain from rapid power demand growth driven by AI and cloud computing. Hyperscale data centers turn to PPAs for decarbonization and reliable electricity in volatile markets.

Google secures separate PPAs totaling 1.2 GW with Clearway Energy in addition to the TotalEnergies agreements, highlighting a multi-region approach to clean power sourcing. TotalEnergies strengthens its position as a major power supplier, expanding its U.S. electricity portfolio to 10 GW of renewable capacity.

The Wichita and Mustang Creek projects are expected to create jobs and provide tax revenues for surrounding communities. TotalEnergies’ strategy of pairing renewables with flexible assets aligns with Google’s goals of supporting decarbonization and grid stability in Texas.

Energy companies and Big Tech increasingly act as long-term partners in infrastructure buildout amid growing AI-driven electricity demand. The TotalEnergies-Google agreement reflects this trend and supports both corporate decarbonization goals and regional grid stability.
