TotalEnergies already has one of the largest power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Google. These agreements will deliver 1 gigawatt (GW) of new solar power in Texas over the next 15 years. This new initiative plays an active role in welcoming and supporting Google’s data centers in the area. It helps provide a reliable source of renewable energy while supporting strong local economic development.
The Wichita and Mustang Creek solar sites are both presently in development. Combined, they will produce approximately 28 terawatt-hours (TWh) of energy from these contracts. Construction on all of these projects will start in the second quarter of 2026. This first phase is expected to produce more than 900 construction jobs alone.
In addition to immediate job creation during construction, the projects are estimated to produce millions in new tax revenues. These dollars will most assuredly fortify public services throughout their productive operational lifetime. They’ll create good jobs in local communities in and around the new solar farms.
TotalEnergies is highlighting its varied climate portfolio in the United States. They consist of a wholly owned gross capacity of 10 GW from operating, managed, or contracted-onshore solar, wind, and battery storage assets. This most recent agreement with Google furthers those commitments. In December 2025, Google did the longest-term power purchase agreement we’ve seen signed for 21 years for 1 terawatt-hour of certified renewable power from the Citra Energies solar plant in Malaysia.
TotalEnergies has recently won separate contracts to add another 1.2 GW. This new capacity is made possible by Clearway, a renewable energy company that is 50% owned by TotalEnergies. Together, these efforts further Google’s influence over the power supply in each of these markets.
Marc-Antoine Pignon, TotalEnergies’ US vice president of renewables, expressed enthusiasm about the agreements, stating:
“Through this PPA, TotalEnergies is also addressing the challenges of land availability and power supply for data centres by enabling large-scale colocation opportunities.” – Marc-Antoine Pignon, TotalEnergies US vice president renewables
Will Conkling, Google’s director of clean energy and power, emphasized the importance of stability in the energy grid as they expand their infrastructure:
“Supporting a strong, stable, affordable grid is a top priority as we expand our infrastructure.” – Will Conkling, Google director of clean energy and power
The construction of the Wichita and Mustang Creek solar farms will bring significant benefits to local communities. TotalEnergies’ sincere commitment to renewable energy furthers climate justice on a global scale by increasing energy access and reliability, priorities that are especially important for the tech industry’s heavy-hitters like Google.
