Google has signed two long-term power purchase agreements (PPAS) with TotalEnergies to power its data centers in Texas with 1 GW of solar capacity over 15 years. The power will come from two solar projects under development in Texas: the 805 MWp Wichita site and the 195 MWp Mustang Creek site. Construction is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2026.
According to a press release, the agreements add to separate gross PPAs totaling 1.2 GW recently secured by Clearway, a California-based renewable energy developer that is 50 percent owned by TotalEnergies. Those contracts are intended to support Google’s data center operations across the ERCOT market in Texas, PJM in the Northeast, and the SPP region in the central United States.
Marc-Antoine Pignon, Vice President Renewables U.S., 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 TotalEnergies in the United States, 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, Clean Energy and Power Director, Google, said, “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.”
The Wichita and Mustang Creek projects are expected to create several hundred construction jobs and generate local tax revenues over their operating life, supporting public services in the surrounding communities.
TotalEnergies’ U.S. renewable portfolio includes 10 GW of onshore solar, wind, and battery storage capacity in operation, with about 5 GW in Texas and 400 MW in the PJM market.
