TotalEnergies has signed a 10-year contract to supply 800GWh of renewable electricity to paper manufacturer SWM’s three French sites.
The company said deliveries will begin in January 2026 using around 50MW of its existing renewable generation assets in France.
It added that the agreement will provide competitive, stable and low-carbon power tailored to the needs of the paper industry.
“We are delighted to support SWM in its decarbonization efforts and pursuit of competitiveness through our ‘clean firm power’ solutions,” said Sophie Chevalier, senior vice president flexible power and integration at TotalEnergies.
“This contract illustrates TotalEnergies’ ability to offer tailor-made solutions adapted to the specific needs of our industrial customers in France. These solutions are based on our integrated production portfolio combining both renewable and flexible assets.”
SWM said the deal covers half of its French electricity needs for the next decade.
“This agreement secures half of our French electricity needs from renewable sources for the next decade, a decisive step toward our commitment to significantly reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2033,” stated Giuliano Scilio, vice president and CIO at SWM.
“For an energy-intensive industry like ours, this isn’t just an environmental milestone; it’s a strategic investment that gives us cost predictability and strengthens our ability to offer customers genuinely sustainable solutions.”
