TotalEnergies and Alphabet Inc. (Google) have entered into a 21‑year power purchase agreement that will deliver 1 terawatt‑hour of certified renewable electricity to Google’s data‑centre operations in Malaysia. The supply will come from the company’s Citra Energies solar project in northern Kedah, a 29.99‑MW plant that is expected to generate roughly 48 GWh per year, or about 1 TWh over the life of the contract.
The agreement gives TotalEnergies a 49 % stake in the project, with local partner MK Land holding the remaining 51 %. Construction is slated to begin in early 2026, and the PPA will take effect upon financial close, anticipated in the first quarter of 2026. The deal is part of Malaysia’s Corporate Green Power Programme, which facilitates direct renewable procurement by corporate users.
For TotalEnergies, the contract represents a strategic expansion into the high‑growth data‑centre market and adds a long‑term, renewable‑energy revenue stream that supports the company’s target of 12 % profitability in its power sector. The deal also contributes to TotalEnergies’ goal of reaching 35 GW of installed renewable capacity by the end of 2025 and generating over 100 TWh of net electricity by 2030.
For Google, the PPA underpins its commitment to run all data‑centre sites on carbon‑free electricity 24/7 by 2030 and addresses the rising energy demand from AI workloads. Securing dedicated renewable capacity in Southeast Asia also mitigates risks associated with grid expansion delays and aligns with Google’s broader strategy to expand cloud infrastructure in the region.
The long‑term nature of the agreement provides revenue stability for TotalEnergies and strengthens its renewable portfolio, while for Google it delivers a predictable, low‑carbon power source that supports the company’s sustainability targets and operational resilience. The deal also signals a broader industry shift toward direct renewable procurement by hyperscale operators, which is expected to accelerate as data‑centre energy consumption continues to grow.
"We are 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," said Giorgio Fortunato, Google’s senior vice president of sustainability. "By enabling this new clean capacity, we are supporting local growth of the electricity system hosting our infrastructure."
"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 and in emerging countries like Malaysia. It also contributes to achieving our target of 12 % profitability in the power sector," said Sophie Chevalier, TotalEnergies’ chief financial officer.
