TotalEnergies has signed a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) to provide Google with renewable electricity from its near-complete Montpelier solar farm in Ohio, the company said on Tuesday.
The facility, connected to the PJM grid—the largest electricity system in the United States—will deliver approximately 1.5 terawatt-hours (TWh) of clean power to support Google’s data centre operations across the state.
The agreement is part of Google’s broader effort to add new carbon-free energy to the grids where it operates, while aligning with TotalEnergies’ strategy to provide tailored energy solutions for the data centre sector, which accounted for nearly 3% of global electricity demand in 2024.
“Strengthening the grid by deploying more reliable and clean energy is crucial for supporting the digital infrastructure that businesses and individuals depend on,” said Will Conkling, director of clean energy and power at Google. “Our collaboration with TotalEnergies will help power our data centres and the broader economic growth of Ohio.”
Stéphane Michel, TotalEnergies president for gas, renewables and power, added: “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.”
TotalEnergies is currently developing a 10-gigawatt portfolio of onshore solar, wind, and storage projects in the United States, including 1 GW in the PJM market and 4 GW in Texas’s ERCOT system.
The PPA with Google follows previous corporate agreements with companies including Amazon, Microsoft, Air Liquide, and Saint-Gobain, highlighting TotalEnergies’ expanding role in supplying renewable electricity to major technology and industrial clients.
