09 Feb TotalEnergies to Provide 1 GW of Solar Capacity to Power Google’s Data Centers in Texas

(Oilandgaspress) -] TotalEnergies has signed two new long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) to deliver 1 GW of solar capacity – equivalent to 28 TWh of renewable electricity over 15 years – to supply Google’s data centers in Texas. The power will be generated from TotalEnergies-owned sites currently under development in Texas: Wichita (805 MWp) and Mustang Creek (195 MWp), with construction scheduled to begin in Q2 2026.

Bringing reliable new power capacity for AI – now
These PPAs totaling 1 GW complement separate gross PPAs of 1.2 GW recently secured by Clearway, a California-based renewables company 50% owned by TotalEnergies, to support Google’s data centers across the ERCOT (Texas), PJM (Northeast), and SPP (Central) markets.

The Wichita and Mustang Creek solar farms will generate significant benefits for local communities. Several hundred jobs will be created during construction, and substantial tax revenues will help fund public services throughout the lifetime of the projects.
