Kuala Lumpur - December 16, 2025 - TotalEnergies has entered into a 21-year renewable power purchase agreement (PPA) with Google to supply electricity to the tech giant’s data centre operations in Malaysia, marking a major step in Southeast Asia’s transition to clean energy for hyperscale computing infrastructure.

The agreement will source power from the forthcoming Citra Energies solar plant in northern Kedah, providing approximately 1 terawatt-hour (1 TWh) of certified renewable electricity, equivalent to about 20 megawatts of continuous clean energy.

The solar project is slated to begin construction in early 2026, with power delivery expected to commence in the first quarter of the following year. Google said the agreement forms part of its broader strategy to power its Malaysian cloud and AI infrastructure with 100% renewable energy, aligning with the company’s global carbon-free energy commitments. The PPA with TotalEnergies enables long-term price stability and ensures a direct, reliable supply of green power to Google’s data centre facilities.

According to TotalEnergies, the deal represents a continuation of its strategy to serve large-scale industrial and technology clients through long-term renewable agreements. The Citra Energies solar plant will incorporate state-of-the-art photovoltaic technology designed to deliver maximum efficiency and minimal environmental impact, meeting both corporate sustainability goals and local regulatory requirements.

A spokesperson for TotalEnergies noted that the partnership with Google underscores the company’s role as a strategic renewable energy supplier for hyperscale data centre operators, emphasising its commitment to facilitating low-carbon energy adoption across emerging markets. “This agreement reflects the growing demand from digital infrastructure operators for long-term, reliable, and carbon-free electricity,” the spokesperson said.

Industry analysts highlight that long-term PPAs such as this one are increasingly critical for large cloud providers seeking to meet sustainability targets while managing operational costs in regions with rapidly expanding data centre footprints.

By securing a dedicated renewable supply, Google aims to future-proof its Malaysian operations against energy price volatility and strengthen the resilience of its cloud and AI services.

The deal also signals a broader trend in Southeast Asia, where major hyperscale operators are partnering with energy companies to scale clean power production and integrate it with local grids, supporting both digital growth and environmental objectives. TotalEnergies’ engagement with Google positions it as a leading supplier in the region’s emerging green data centre market.
