PRESS RELEASE

Decarbonizing French Industry: TotalEnergies Signs a

Renewable Electricity Supply Agreement with Saint-Gobain

 

Paris, October 8, 2024 – TotalEnergies has signed with Saint-Gobain a Power Purchase

Agreement (PPA), under which TotalEnergies will supply renewable electricity to SaintGobain’s French facilities. It will take effect from January 2026 for a total volume of 875 GWh over a period of five years. 

 

TotalEnergies will provide Saint-Gobain with a baseload supply of electricity and guarantees of origin for that amount of power, produced by TotalEnergies’ wind and solar plants in the northeast and south of France, and the Loire Valley.  

The contract for renewable electricity between the two companies adds to a previous agreement, signed in June 2023, for the sale to Saint-Gobain of biomethane produced by TotalEnergies at its BioBéarn site. 

“We are delighted with this new contract with Saint-Gobain, a sign of our shared commitment to take carbon out of French industry. It also demonstrates our ability to offer electricity solutions that meet our client’s needs while ensuring the origin of the green electricity provided”, said Sophie Chevalier, Vice President, Flexible Power & Integration, TotalEnergies. “In France, TotalEnergies has a renewable portfolio of over 2 GW, preventing the emission into the atmosphere of 800,000 tons of CO2 every year. That’s a persuasive argument for our customers”, she added.

"Saint-Gobain is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Realizing this ambition involves decarbonizing our production processes. This contract signed with TotalEnergies allows the Group to take a further step toward this goal with a reliable and continuous supply of renewable electricity for our industrial sites. With this PPA, combined with others signed by the Group in France, 30% of the electricity will be from renewable sources in France by 2027", explained Swaroop Srinath, Energy Purchasing Director for the SaintGobain Group
