TotalEnergies has inked a 21-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Google, marking another stride in the energy giant’s renewable energy portfolio and Google’s decarbonisation strategy. The agreement will see TotalEnergies deliver 1TWh of certified renewable power from the Citra Energies solar plant in northern Kedah, Malaysia, to support Google’s data centre operations. Construction of the solar farm is set to commence in early 2026, with the PPA commencing upon financial close, anticipated in Q1 2026.
This deal builds on TotalEnergies’ growing list of renewable energy contracts with major tech corporations, including recent agreements with Google in the US, as well as partnerships with Data4, STMicroelectronics, Air Liquide, Amazon, Saint-Gobain, Merck, Microsoft, LyondellBasell, Orange, and Sasol. These partnerships underscore TotalEnergies’ commitment to helping customers advance their decarbonisation goals.
Giorgio Fortunato, Google Asia-Pacific head of clean energy and power, highlighted the strategic importance of the agreement, stating, “We’re thrilled to build on our collaboration with TotalEnergies in Malaysia. This agreement is a key part of our strategy to make meaningful investments that benefit the economies where we operate. By enabling this new clean capacity, we are supporting local growth of the electricity system hosting our infrastructure.”
TotalEnergies’ senior vice-president flexible power and integration, Sophie Chevalier, echoed this sentiment, noting, “We are delighted to strengthen our collaboration with Google through this agreement to supply renewable electricity to their new data centre in Malaysia. This PPA illustrates our company’s ability to offer competitive power solutions tailored to the needs of major tech groups, both in mature markets, such as the United States and Europe, and in emerging countries like Malaysia. It also contributes to achieving our target of 12% profitability in the power sector.”
As of October 2025, TotalEnergies claims to have over 32GW of installed gross renewable generation capacity, with a target of 35GW by the end of 2025 and more than 100TWh of net electricity to be produced by the end of this decade. The company is developing a portfolio that blends renewables, such as solar and wind, with flexible assets like combined cycle gas turbine and storage.
This news underscores the growing trend of tech giants investing in renewable energy to power their data centres, driving demand for clean energy solutions. It also highlights the strategic role that energy companies like TotalEnergies play in facilitating this transition. The deal could spur further investment in renewable energy projects in emerging markets, as well as encourage other corporations to follow suit in their decarbonisation efforts. Moreover, it signals a shift in the energy sector towards long-term, large-scale renewable energy contracts, which could reshape the energy landscape and accelerate the global transition to clean energy.
