Semiconductor technology company STMicroelectronics (ST) has tapped TotalEnergies to provide 1.5 terawatt hours of renewable power for operations in France.
As part of the 15-year contract, which began this month, TotalEnergies is providing solar and wind power to New York-based ST, according to a Jan. 28 news release. The renewable power deal was sealed as ST takes steps to become carbon neutral by 2027.
“PPAs [power purchase agreements] will play a major role in our transition, and we have already signed several to support ST’s operations in Italy and Malaysia,” said Geoff West, executive vice president and chief procurement officer for STMicroelectronics. “Starting in 2025, this PPA with TotalEnergies will provide a significant level of renewable energy for ST’s operations in France, which includes R&D, design, sales and marketing and large-volume chip manufacturing.”
TotalEnergies said the contract is similar to ones its signed with Saint-Gobain, Air Liquide, Amazon and Microsoft, among others.
“We are delighted to sign this agreement with STMicroelectronics, which demonstrates our ability to provide long-term and innovative clean firm power solutions tailored to our customers’ needs,” said Sophie Chevalier, senior vice president flexible power and integration at TotalEnergies. “TotalEnergies aims to be a preferred partner to support tech industry players towards their decarbonization efforts, and this agreement showcases our commitment and capabilities.”
