TotalEnergies has reached a significant milestone in its U.S. renewable energy strategy by signing two long-term power purchase agreements with Google. Additionally, TotalEnergies 1GW Solar Power Deal Inked agreements represent the largest renewable PPA volume the company has ever signed in the United States. They will foresee the delivery of 1GW of solar capacity to power Google’s data centers in Texas.

Furthermore, the electricity will be generated by the 805MWp Wichita and 195MWp Mustang Creek sites. Additionally, the construction for both projects is slated to commence in the second quarter of 2026. Over a 15-year period, these projects are expected to provide 28TWh of renewable electricity.

Other Projects

Google continues to actively secure power purchase agreements for renewable energy as it also recently inks one with Ormat Technologies. Google has signed a 150MW geothermal Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with geothermal developer, Ormat Technologies in Nevada. The deal, signed between Ormat and Nevada public utility NV Energy, is expected to support Google’s data center operations in the state. It was signed as part of NV Energy’s Clean Transition Tariff (CTT). Moreover, the PPA covers a multi-project portfolio of geothermal assets. The CTT is a pathway created by NV Energy that allows utilities and large energy users like Google to invest in advanced generation technologies.

Significance of the Projects

Also, beyond increasing clean energy capacity, these projects are designed to provide significant regional benefits. The Wichita and Mustang Creek developments will create several hundred construction jobs and generate substantial tax revenue for local services.

Additionally, Google’s director of clean energy and power, Will Conkling, noted that the deal adds essential new generation to the local system. Also, he stated that it would support a stable and affordable grid for the entire region. Marc-Antoine Pignon of TotalEnergies added that the partnership addresses land availability and power supply challenges. This will be achieved by enabling large-scale colocation opportunities for data centers.

Significance of the PPAs under TotalEnergies 1GW Solar Power Deal

These new solar deals complement separate 1.2GW gross PPAs recently secured by Clearway to support Google’s operations across the PJM, SPP, and ERCOT markets. Currently, TotalEnergies maintains a gross capacity portfolio of 10GW in the U.S., including 5GW in ERCOT and 400MW in PJM across wind, solar, and battery storage assets. Lastly, this latest partnership with Google adds to TotalEnergies’ growing list of corporate agreements with major entities such as Amazon, Microsoft, Airbus, and Air Liquide.

TotalEnergies joins MPLX and MARA, and Constellation Energy in powering data centers in Texas. Constellation is supplying power to a new data center adjacent to Freestone Energy Center while MPLX and MARA intends to use natural gas as power source for the data centers.

Project Factsheet

Total capacity: 1 GW of solar power.

Energy output: Approximately 28 TWh of renewable electricity over a 15-year period.

Primary objective: To supply renewable energy to Google’s data centers in Texas. Also, it will enable the support of grid stability.

Strategic milestone: Represents the largest renewable PPA volume signed by TotalEnergies in the United States to date.

Infrastructure and location

The 1 GW capacity will be generated by two key sites in Texas:

• Wichita Site: 805 MWp capacity.
• Mustang Creek Site: 195 MWp capacity.
• Construction timeline: Scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2026.
