The contract, starting in January 2026, reinforces TotalEnergies' position as a key partner in industrial decarbonization and will use equivalent power from 30 MW of new Spanish wind and solar assets.
In a significant move that underscores the growing commitment to sustainable energy within the high-demand data center industry, TotalEnergies and Data4, a leading European data center operator, have finalized a 10-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). This strategic contract is set to supply Data4’s Spanish facilities with "Clean Firm Power"—a stable-profile renewable electricity solution—beginning in January 2026.
The agreement covers a substantial total volume of 610 GWh over its decade-long term. To fulfill this demand, TotalEnergies will utilize renewable electricity generated by a portfolio of Spanish wind and solar farms that are nearing the start of production, with a capacity equivalent to 30 MW. This tailored solution is designed to meet the specific requirements of large-scale industrial consumers like data centers, providing a consistent, long-term supply of carbon-free electricity.
This PPA is a critical step for Data4, which is currently established in six countries and has announced a massive investment plan of nearly €2 billion euros by 2030 to expand its European data center campuses, particularly in Spain. The partnership with TotalEnergies is a direct affirmation of Data4's pledge to fully integrate renewable energy across its operations.
François Sterin, Chief Operation Officer at Data4, emphasized the strategic importance of the deal, particularly in the context of the accelerating Artificial Intelligence race. "This agreement reaffirms Data4’s commitment to renewable energy which is more crucial than ever as the race for AI accelerates and the energy capacity required for all data centers in Spain is expected to more than triple by 2030," Sterin noted.
For TotalEnergies, the agreement strengthens its standing as a preferred decarbonization partner for major industrial players globally. Sophie Chevalier, Senior Vice President Flexible Power & Integration at TotalEnergies, commented on the company's ability to offer bespoke solutions. "Our ‘Clean Firm Power’ solutions are specifically designed to meet our clients’ requirements in terms of cost, consumption profile, and environmental commitment," she stated. Chevalier added that these solutions leverage TotalEnergies' integrated power portfolio, which combines both renewable and flexible assets, and are instrumental in achieving the company's target of 12% profitability in the power sector.
The Data4 PPA joins a distinguished list of similar contracts TotalEnergies has signed with global industry leaders, including Amazon, Microsoft, Orange, Air Liquide, Saint-Gobain, and others. This growing portfolio illustrates TotalEnergies’ proven capability to innovate and deploy its diverse asset base to facilitate the energy transition for its customers worldwide.
