TotalEnergies will supply Airbus with renewable electricity for major sites in Germany and the UK under two clean firm power contracts. The deals will deliver 3.3TWh into the next decade.
Stéphane Michel, president of gas, renewables and power at TotalEnergies, said the agreements follow last year’s sustainable aviation fuel partnership and illustrate the company’s ability to deliver turnkey solutions across multiple geographies.
He added that the contracts rely on an integrated portfolio of renewable and flexible assets and will contribute positively to the profitability of TotalEnergies’ electricity business.
The agreements will use new renewable capacity totalling 200MW and provide baseload power covering half of the electricity needs of the Airbus sites from 2027.
Florent Massou dit Labaquère, EVP of operations for the commercial aircraft business of Airbus, said the PPAs demonstrate a long-term commitment to decarbonising its sites.
“These agreements will help Airbus secure reliable low-carbon energy, supporting our goal to increase renewable electricity across our sites,” he said.
“Complementing our existing collaboration with TotalEnergies to scale SAF production capabilities, these PPAs are part of our holistic approach to build resilience in our operations.”
TotalEnergies said the contracts add to a roster of global supply deals with companies across the technology and industrial sectors.
The company has more than 32GW of installed renewable capacity and aims to reach 35GW by the end of 2025.
