TotalEnergies and Airbus have signed two clean firm power contracts to supply a total of 3.3 TWh of renewable electricity to all major Airbus sites in Germany and the United Kingdom. According to TotalEnergies, the electricity will come from new renewable assets with a combined capacity of 200 MW and will cover half of the electricity needs of the sites, starting in 2027. The supply is designed to have a baseload profile, ensuring reliable energy throughout the year.

“Following last year’s announcement of our partnership in sustainable aviation fuel, we are pleased to sign these power purchase agreements with Airbus in Germany and the United Kingdom, two countries where TotalEnergies is rapidly expanding its production and sales,” said Stéphane Michel, President of Gas, Renewables & Power at TotalEnergies. “These new contracts illustrate TotalEnergies’ ability to deliver turnkey clean firm power solutions across multiple geographies to support our industrial customers in their energy transition. By combining renewable and flexible assets, these agreements will also contribute positively to the profitability of our electricity business.”

Florent Massou dit Labaquère, EVP of Operations for Airbus’ Commercial Aircraft business, added: “As Airbus continues to advance our energy efficiency and emissions reduction targets, these PPAs with TotalEnergies demonstrate our long-term commitment to decarbonising our sites. They will help us secure reliable low-carbon energy and increase renewable electricity across our operations. Together with our collaboration to scale sustainable aviation fuel production, these agreements form part of a holistic approach to build resilience in our operations.”

TotalEnergies noted that these contracts add to its existing renewable power agreements with major global companies, including SWM, Google, Data4, STMicroelectronics, Saint-Gobain, Air Liquide, Amazon, LyondellBasell, Merck, Microsoft, Orange, and Sasol. The company highlighted its capacity to develop tailored, innovative solutions leveraging a diverse asset portfolio to support customers’ decarbonization efforts.
