TotalEnergies to Supply Google Data Centers with 1 GW of Solar Power in Texas

TotalEnergies has reached a new long-term energy agreement with Google that will supply the tech giant’s Texas data centers with 1 gigawatt of solar power. The 15-year deal strengthens the region’s position as a key hub for renewable energy development and highlights the continued expansion of large-scale clean power projects connected to Texas’ technology and industrial sectors.

The partnership includes power from several Texas-based solar projects developed and operated by TotalEnergies. Houston, the energy capital of the world, is closely connected to the company’s U.S. operations and continues to play a central role in the transition strategies of global energy firms seeking to scale large renewable portfolios.

Why It Matters for Houston

This agreement reflects how energy companies anchored in or engaged with Houston are accelerating investment in solar and hybrid energy systems. TotalEnergies has been expanding its U.S. renewable footprint, and deals like this support grid stability, job creation, and new infrastructure across the state.

For Google, the solar commitment aligns with its goal to operate on carbon-free energy around the clock by 2030. Texas is home to several of the company’s major data centers, which require consistent and large-scale energy sources. Securing long-term renewable power helps ensure the reliability needed to support cloud services, AI development, and digital infrastructure expansion.

What’s Next

TotalEnergies plans to continue growing its renewable energy pipeline throughout Texas, with additional solar, energy storage, and hybrid energy projects under development. As Houston maintains its leadership in both traditional and emerging energy sectors, the region is expected to remain central to future projects and corporate clean energy commitments.
