Google has signed a 15-year PPA with TotalEnergies for energy from its 49-MW Montpelier solar farm in Ohio. The solar facility, nearing completion, is connected to the PJM grid system and will support Google’s data center operations in Ohio.
The deal reflects Google’s strategy of enabling new, carbon-free energy to the grid systems where it operates. It also aligns with TotalEnergies’ strategy to deliver tailored energy solutions for data centers, which accounted for almost 3% of the world’s energy demand in 2024.
“We are delighted to strengthen our partnership with Google with this agreement to supply renewable electricity to their data centers in Ohio”, said Stéphane Michel, president of gas, renewables & power at TotalEnergies. “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.”
