TotalEnergies and Google have signed a long-term power purchase agreement to supply renewable electricity to Google’s data centre operations in Malaysia, as global technology firms continue to secure clean power for energy-intensive infrastructure.
Under the 21-year agreement, TotalEnergies will provide Google with a total of 1 terawatt hour (TWh) of certified renewable electricity, equivalent to around 20 megawatts, from the Citra Energies solar project in the northern state of Kedah. Construction of the solar plant is scheduled to begin in early 2026.
The project was awarded by Malaysia’s Energy Commission in August 2023 to a consortium comprising TotalEnergies, which holds a 49% stake, and local developer MK Land, which owns the remaining 51%, under the country’s Corporate Green Power Programme (CGPP). The facility is expected to support the electricity demand of Google’s data centre operations in Malaysia.
The agreement builds on an existing partnership between the two companies, following a power purchase deal announced in November for renewable electricity supply to Google’s data centres in the United States.
“We’re 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, head of clean energy and power for Asia Pacific at Google. “By enabling this new clean capacity, we are supporting local growth of the electricity system hosting our infrastructure.”
Sophie Chevalier, senior vice president for flexible power and integration at TotalEnergies, said the agreement highlighted the company’s ability to deliver tailored power solutions to large technology groups across both developed and emerging markets. “It also contributes to achieving our target of 12% profitability in the power sector,” she added.
The power purchase agreement is expected to take effect following the project’s financial close, anticipated in the first quarter of 2026.
