Engie announces power purchase agreement with Google

ENGIE North America (ENGIY) announced they recently completed a Power Purchase Agreement with Google (GOOGL) to supply 90 MW of renewable energy from its Chillingham solar project in Bell County, Texas. This agreement in the United States 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, 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 on every grid where it operates.
