Saint-Gobain, a leading building materials company, is taking a significant step towards decarbonization by signing a 15-year renewable power purchase agreement (PPA) with TotalEnergies. This partnership aims to support the decarbonization efforts of 125 industrial sites in North America through the supply of energy from TotalEnergies’ Danish Fields solar project in Texas.

Through the 100 MW PPA, TotalEnergies will provide clean and sustainable energy to Saint-Gobain, effectively offsetting the company’s North American scope 2 CO2 emissions from electricity by an estimated 90,000 metric tons annually. The Danish Fields solar project, with an impressive capacity of 720 MW, is scheduled to become operational next year, taking its place as TotalEnergies’ largest utility-scale operated solar farm in the United States.

The agreement between TotalEnergies and Saint-Gobain also includes an upside sharing mechanism, enabling both parties to benefit from any potential increase in market price throughout the contract term. This demonstrates a commitment to shared sustainability goals and reinforces the importance of collaboration in achieving a greener future.

TotalEnergies has positioned itself as a leader in the renewable energy sector with a comprehensive portfolio of large-scale solar, storage, on-site B2B solar distributed generation, onshore and offshore wind projects. By 2025, these initiatives collectively aim to generate up to 10 GW of power, a number that is set to increase to over 25 GW by 2030.

This partnership between Saint-Gobain and TotalEnergies showcases the power of collaboration in driving sustainable development. By harnessing the potential of solar energy through the Danish Fields project, the two companies are making significant strides towards their shared vision of a greener and more environmentally-conscious future.
