Google has signed agreements with TotalEnergies for 1 GW of solar power supply for its data centers in Texas
The deal covers 28 TWh of renewable electricity over a 15-year period once the projects come online in H2 2026
Power will come from 2 solar projects under development: 805 MW Wichita and 195 MW Mustang Creek
Global technology giant Google has locked in solar energy supply worth 1 GW from TotalEnergies to power its data centers in Texas. This represents 28 TWh of renewable electricity over 15 years.
TotalEnergies will supply this clean energy from 2 solar farms that are currently under development in Texas. These comprise the 805 MW Wichita and the 195 MW Mustang Creek solar farms. Both facilities are scheduled for commissioning in H2 2026.
In January 2026, renewable projects developer Clearway Energy Group entered 3 new power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Google for 1.2 GW carbon-free capacity. Its projects located in Missouri, Texas, and West Virginia will supply this electricity to local grids to support Google’s data centers. TotalEnergies is a 50% stakeholder in Clearway.
“These two agreements represent the largest volume of renewable electricity purchases ever signed by TotalEnergies in the United States,” said Head of Renewables at TotalEnergies in the US, Marc-Antoine-Pignon. “With these PPAs, TotalEnergies is also addressing the challenge of land availability and power supply for data centers by opening up large-scale colocation opportunities.”
Will Conkling, Google’s Director of Clean Energy and Power, added that the TotalEnergies agreement will increase “much-needed new generation capacity to the local system, increasing the amount of reliable and affordable electricity available to the entire region.”
Google has been investing in renewable energy to ensure reliable electricity supply for its data centers as AI demand booms. Earlier this year, Google’s parent Alphabet announced an agreement to acquire Intersect Energy for $4.75 billion to support faster growth of its data centers and power generation. Intersect develops infrastructure that combined data centers with dedicated gas and renewable energy (see Alphabet To Acquire Intersect For $4.75 Billion In Cash).
