TotalEnergies has signed two long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with Google to supply a combined 1 gigawatt (GW) of solar energy to the technology company’s data centers in Texas, according to a recent announcement.

The agreements span 15 years and are expected to deliver approximately 28 terawatt-hours (TWh) of renewable electricity over their lifetime. Power will be generated from two TotalEnergies-owned solar projects currently under development: the Wichita solar farm (805 megawatts peak) and the Mustang Creek project (195 megawatts peak). Construction on both projects is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2026.

The deal represents TotalEnergies’ largest renewable PPA volume signed in the United States, highlighting the growing role of Texas’ ERCOT power market in meeting rising electricity demand from hyperscale data centers, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence infrastructure.

The Texas agreements complement separate gross PPAs totaling 1.2 GW recently secured by Google with Clearway Energy, a renewable power producer partially owned by TotalEnergies, across multiple U.S. power markets.

TotalEnergies said the Wichita and Mustang Creek projects are expected to create several hundred jobs during construction and generate long-term tax revenues for local communities. The company currently operates around 10 GW of onshore solar, wind, and battery storage capacity in the U.S., with roughly half located in Texas.
