TotalEnergies has entered into a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with STMicroelectronics, marking a significant step in the company's push towards renewable energy. The contract, which began in January 2025, will see TotalEnergies supply 1.5TWh of renewable electricity to STMicroelectronics' French sites.
Under the agreement, TotalEnergies will provide power generated by two of its newly developed wind and solar farms, with a combined capacity of 75MW. The energy provided will be supplemented with services that convert intermittent production into a steady, reliable volume of green electricity.
“This agreement demonstrates our ability to provide long-term and innovative clean firm power solutions tailored to our customers' needs,” said Sophie Chevalier, senior vice president for flexible power and integration at TotalEnergies. “TotalEnergies aims to be a preferred partner to support tech industry players towards their decarbonisation efforts, and this agreement showcases our commitment and capabilities.
This contract is notable for being the first of its kind in France, with a 15-year duration. TotalEnergies emphasized that the environmental and community benefits of the wind and solar projects played a key role in finalizing the deal.
Geoff West, chief procurement officer at STMicroelectronics, highlighted the importance of the agreement in the company's broader sustainability strategy. “PPAs will play a major role in our transition, and we have already signed several to support ST's operations in Italy and Malaysia,” West said. “Starting in 2025, this PPA with TotalEnergies will provide a significant level of renewable energy for ST's operations in France, which includes R&D, design, sales and marketing, and large-volume chip manufacturing.
The PPA supports STMicroelectronics' goal of sourcing 100% of its energy from renewable sources by 2027, contributing to the company's ongoing efforts to reduce its carbon footprint and transition to a more sustainable energy model.
