TotalEnergies has made headlines with its recent agreement to supply 1 gigawatt of solar power to Google’s data centers in Texas, marking the largest renewable power purchase agreement the company has ever signed in the United States. The contracts, announced on February 9, 2026, will span 15 years and are set to deliver an impressive 28 terawatt-hours of renewable energy to fuel Google’s rapidly expanding operations.
Under this new initiative, electricity will be generated from two solar farms located in Texas. The Wichita solar farm will contribute 805 megawatts, while the Mustang Creek facility will add another 195 megawatts to the grid. Construction is slated to begin in the second quarter of 2026, positioning TotalEnergies as a key player in meeting the soaring demand for renewable energy in the region.
This partnership with Google is a strategic move for TotalEnergies, which has been investing significantly in renewable energy amidst the backdrop of a volatile energy market. Marc-Antoine Pignon, TotalEnergies’ vice president for U.S. renewables, confirmed that these agreements represent a milestone for the company’s renewable initiatives in America, highlighting their commitment to sustainable growth.
Already a notable contributor to renewable energy in the U.S., TotalEnergies plays a pivotal role through its 50% stake in Clearway, which indirectly supplies Google with 1.2 gigawatts of capacity. Clearway recently secured a series of contracts across three major U.S. power markets, covering ERCOT in Texas, PJM in the Northeast, and SPP in the Central U.S., underscoring the demand for clean energy from tech giants like Google.
As Google continues to expand its data center footprint, the demand for clean energy becomes increasingly critical. Will Conkling, Google’s director of clean energy and power, remarked that the agreement with TotalEnergies introduces new generation capacity and enhances the affordability and reliability of power in the region. This comes at a time when data centers are consuming vast amounts of electricity to support operations driven by artificial intelligence.
Moreover, the construction of the solar projects is poised to create hundreds of jobs within the local community and generate substantial tax revenues over the operational lifetime of the facilities. TotalEnergies maintains a robust portfolio of 10 gigawatts of renewable assets across the United States, which includes solar, wind, and battery storage systems.
As of October 2025, the company boasts more than 32 gigawatts of installed renewable capacity globally, with aspirations to achieve over 100 terawatt-hours of net electricity production by 2030. The agreements with Google serve as a significant step toward fulfilling this ambitious goal, further solidifying TotalEnergies’ position within the renewable energy sector.
Overall, the partnership signifies a strategic alignment between a major player in the energy sector and a global tech leader, reflecting a shared vision for a sustainable and renewable-powered future.
