ENGIE: the world’s number one in renewable electricity purchase agreements with businesses

  • ENGIE ranks as the world’s number one supplier of energy for renewable corporate Power Purchase Agreements (cPPAs).
    3.6 GW signed in 2025 in this category, according to BloombergNEF’s annual benchmark review.

  • ENGIE has contracted 13.8 GW of cPPA since 2011, making the Group the global leader for the entire period from 2011 to 2025.

  • Confirmation of the Group’s leadership and the resilience of its renewable energy growth model.

This success has been driven by several major transactions concluded with leading tech players, including Apple, Google and Meta, as well as the ongoing expansion of its B2B customer base. This now includes manufacturing, agrifood, transport and logistics, retail, and business services.


ENGIE, a pioneer in the cPPA market for over a decade, leverages a portfolio of renewable and flexible assets, combining wind, solar and storage solutions, including batteries, to drive its performance and benefits from the Group’s balanced geographical presence. With a strong historical presence in this market in Europe, Latin America, and the United States, ENGIE intends to continue its growth by making cPPA more accessible to a growing number of businesses and exploring new high-potential countries, such as India.


Edouard Neviaski, Executive Vice President in charge of GBU Supply & Energy Management, explains: “ENGIE’s outstanding performance on the cPPA market reflects our clients’ growing interest in securing their long-term energy supplies, even amid a softening market. The continued trust they place in us to support them in their decarbonization efforts is both a strong recognition and a powerful driver for the daily commitment of ENGIE’s teams.”


ENGIE continues to innovate with the development of its 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy renewable electricity supply solution, which exceeds the scope of annual green energy sourcing. This offer matches site consumption hour by hour with generation from dedicated, local renewable and flexible assets. It thus guarantees traceable electricity while contributing to grid resilience.

ENGIE announces Power Purchase Agreement with Google – Will supply power from its largest U.S. solar project to date

Latest deal builds on collaboration to accelerate the energy transition

HOUSTON – ENGIE North America (ENGIE) announced they recently completed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Google to supply 90 MW of renewable energy from its Chillingham solar project in Bell County, Texas. This agreement in the United States (U.S.) expands on ENGIE and Google’s prior collaborations in Europe and is the fifth renewable energy project under agreement between the two companies globally.    

To support its operations in Texas, Google will purchase a portion of the 350 MW facility’s output which is expected to commence operation later this year. The Chillingham solar project was developed by ENGIE, who will also construct and operate the project located north of Austin, Texas.

This agreement was facilitated through LEAP™ (LevelTen Energy’s Accelerated Process), which was co-developed by Google and LevelTen Energy to make sourcing and executing clean energy PPAs more efficient, and contributes to Google’s ambitious 2030 goal to run on 24/7 carbon-free energy (CFE) on every grid where it operates.

“We are honored to continue to expand ENGIE’s global relationship with Google, supporting their growth and delivery of their net-zero commitments” said Dave Carroll, Chief Renewables Officer, ENGIE North America “We are proud that ENGIE’s proven track record in developing, building and operating renewable assets puts us at the forefront of the energy transition. Chillingham solar clearly demonstrates ENGIE’s track record of consistently delivering quality renewables projects that meet the needs of customers such as Google – allowing us to collaborate together and meet their unique needs.”

“We’re pleased to further our collaboration with ENGIE with new carbon-free energy from its Chillingham plant that will supply our operations in Texas with clean power,” said Amanda Peterson Corio, Global Head of Data Center Energy, Google. “This agreement is another example of how using our scalable procurement approach is transforming the way the industry sells and purchases power, and ultimately speeds up the development of carbon free electricity.”

The Chillingham project has employed over 300 skilled workers during construction, many of them local to the region and will generate more than $72 million in tax revenues to support the local community over the life of the project. This includes some $53 million specifically for local school districts. Once operational, Chillingham, which will be ENGIE’s largest single solar project in the U.S. so far, will join the company’s portfolio of around 8 GW of renewable projects including solar, wind and battery storage in operation or construction across North America.

This power purchase agreement with Google contributes to ENGIE closing almost 1GW of signed PPAs in the U.S. for 2024 (YTD). ENGIE’s continued innovation in this space has resulted in the company being named as a top developer to sell corporate energy PPAs several years in a row.
