TotalEnergies has signed a 15-year power purchase agreement to supply Google with renewable electricity from its Montpelier solar farm in Ohio.
The near-complete facility is connected to the PJM grid, the largest electricity system in the United States, and will support Google’s data centre operations across the state with 1.5TWh.
The deal forms part of Google’s strategy to add new carbon-free energy to the grids where it operates and aligns with TotalEnergies’ plan to deliver tailored power solutions for the data centre industry, which accounted for almost 3% of global electricity demand in 2024.
Will Conkling, director of clean energy and power at Google, said: “Strengthening the grid by deploying more reliable and clean energy is crucial for supporting the digital infrastructure that businesses and individuals depend on. Our collaboration with TotalEnergies will help power our data centres and the broader economic growth of Ohio.”
TotalEnergies president gas, renewables and power Stéphane Michel said: “We are delighted to strengthen our partnership with Google with this agreement to supply renewable electricity to their data centres in Ohio. 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.”
TotalEnergies is developing a 10GW portfolio of onshore solar, wind and storage projects in the United States, including 1GW in the PJM market and 4GW in ERCOT, Texas.
The agreement with Google adds to previous corporate PPAs signed by TotalEnergies with Amazon, Microsoft, Air Liquide, Saint-Gobain, and others.
