TotalEnergies, Inx

TotalEnergies SE (NYSE:TTE) on Wednesday penned a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Alphabet Inc.’s (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google.

Details

As per the deal, Google will receive 1.5 TWh of certified renewable electricity from TotalEnergies’ nearly completed Montpelier solar farm in Ohio.

Connected to the PJM grid, which is the largest in the U.S., the facility will power Google’s data center operations in the state.

The agreement aligns with TotalEnergies’ strategy to provide customized energy solutions for data centers, which represented nearly 3% of global energy consumption in 2024.

Also, it aligns with Google’s goal of adding new carbon-free energy to the grids where it operates.

Management Commentary

Stéphane Michel, President Gas, Renewables & Power at TotalEnergies, added, “This agreement illustrates TotalEnergies’s ability to meet the growing energy demands of major tech companies by leveraging its integrated portfolio of renewable and flexible assets. It also contributes to achieving our target of 12% profitability in the power sector.”

Notably, TotalEnergies is developing a 10 GW renewable portfolio across the U.S., including solar, wind, and battery storage projects.

Of this, 1 GW is in the PJM market in the northeast U.S. and 4 GW is in Texas.

(NYSE:STM), Saint-Gobain, Air Liquide SA (OTC:AIQUY), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), LyondellBasell Industries NV (NYSE:LYB), Merck & Company, Inc. (NYSE:MRK), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), Orange, and Sasol.
