Google Secures 28 TWh, 1 GW Solar Supply for Texas Data Centers
Google has signed two 15-year power purchase agreements with TotalEnergies to procure 1 GW of solar capacity from the Wichita and Mustang Creek projects, delivering 28 TWh of renewable electricity to its Texas data centers. Construction begins in Q2 2026, marking TotalEnergies’ largest US renewable PPA ever.
1. Deal Terms and Capacity
Google has agreed to two 15-year power purchase agreements with TotalEnergies to secure 1 GW of solar generation capacity. The PPAs guarantee 28 TWh of renewable electricity will feed into Google’s Texas data centers, locking in a fixed-rate supply through 2041.
2. Project Timeline and Development
Construction of the Wichita and Mustang Creek solar farms is slated to begin in the second quarter of 2026. Both projects are expected to reach commercial operation ahead of the end of 2027, ensuring a continuous renewable supply for Google’s growing computing infrastructure.
3. Strategic Impact for Google
The long-term solar deal helps Google stabilize energy costs and hedge against future power price volatility in Texas. It also advances Google’s goal to operate its data centers on 24/7 carbon-free energy by leveraging large-scale renewable PPAs.
