Houston, United States - February 09, 2026 - TotalEnergies has secured long-term solar power agreements with Google to supply more than 1 gigawatt (GW) of renewable electricity for the company’s data center operations in Texas, underscoring how hyperscalers are racing to lock in dedicated clean power as AI-driven demand accelerates.
Under two 15-year power purchase agreements (PPAs), TotalEnergies will deliver solar power from large-scale projects under development in Texas and connected to the ERCOT grid, according to company disclosures. The agreements represent TotalEnergies’ largest U.S. renewable PPAs to date by contracted volume.
The power will be sourced from the 805-MWp Wichita Solar Project and the 195-MWp Mustang Creek Solar Project, both wholly owned by TotalEnergies. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2026, with the projects designed to directly support Google’s growing data center footprint across Texas.
Google said the agreements advance its goal of operating all data centers on 24/7 carbon-free energy by 2030, while also adding new generation capacity to a grid facing increasing strain from AI and cloud infrastructure growth. Texas has become a core market for Google’s U.S. data center expansion due to its scale, power market structure, and renewable energy availability.
The combined PPAs exceed 1 GW of solar capacity, highlighting the rapidly rising power requirements of hyperscale data centers, particularly those supporting advanced AI workloads. Data Center Dynamics noted that deals of this size are becoming increasingly common as operators seek long-term energy security alongside sustainability commitments.
Beyond supplying Google’s facilities, the solar developments are expected to generate hundreds of construction jobs and provide long-term economic benefits to local Texas communities once operational, according to regional energy analysts.
For TotalEnergies, the agreements strengthen its integrated power strategy in the U.S., where the company continues to expand its solar, wind, and battery storage portfolio. For Google, the Texas PPAs reflect a broader hyperscaler shift toward securing dedicated, utility-scale renewable supply as power availability becomes one of the biggest constraints on future data center growth in North America.
