The 15-year agreements will provide approximately 28 terawatt-hours of renewable electricity sourced from two upcoming projects in Texas. TotalEnergies will develop the 805 MWp Wichita site and the 195 MWp Mustang Creek facility, with construction for both scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2026. This capacity is specifically designed to meet the surging power requirements of Google’s digital infrastructure and artificial intelligence operations within the ERCOT grid.

These solar projects complement a separate 1.2 GW commitment recently secured by Clearway, a renewables developer 50% owned by TotalEnergies. Together, these initiatives represent a significant push to stabilize the regional grid while meeting the decarbonization goals of major tech players. Marc-Antoine Pignon, Vice President of Renewables U.S. for TotalEnergies, stated that the deal highlights the company’s ability to offer large-scale colocation opportunities and tailored energy solutions for the data center sector.

Beyond the energy output, the development is expected to generate several hundred jobs during the construction phase and provide substantial long-term tax revenue for local Texas communities. Will Conkling, Google’s Director of Clean Energy and Power, noted that the partnership adds essential new generation to the local system, which helps maintain an affordable and reliable power supply for the entire region.

TotalEnergies currently maintains a gross portfolio of 10 GW of onshore solar, wind, and battery storage assets across the United States. This latest expansion aligns with the company's global strategy to exceed 100 TWh of net electricity production by 2030, building on a renewable capacity that reached 32 GW by late 2025. The company’s growing list of corporate partners includes major industrial and tech names such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Air Liquide.
