Google has signed two long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) with Sunraycer Renewables for the Lupinus and Lupinus 2 solar projects in Texas.

The agreements will support the construction and operation of the approximately 400MWac Lupinus solar facilities in Franklin County. The projects are expected to achieve commercial operation in Q4 of 2027.

The transaction was facilitated through LevelTen Energy and its LEAP process, which aims to accelerate PPA execution through standardized contracting. The companies said the process enabled the deal to move from request for proposals to contract signing in under 10 weeks.

Google said the projects will support long-term energy supply for its operations while contributing to local economic activity.

"Google's data centers are long-term investments in the communities we call home," said Will Conkling, director of Energy and Power, Google. "This collaboration with Sunraycer will fuel local economic growth while helping to build a more robust and affordable energy future for Texas."

Sunraycer, a portfolio company of Crayhill Capital Management, has a pipeline of approximately 3GW of solar and battery storage projects across development, construction, and operations. It has signed several deals with data center firms in recent years. In May of last year, Meta inked two Environmental Attribute Purchase Agreements (EAPA) with Sunraycer for the entire capacity of two solar projects in Texas.

"These agreements with Google represent a significant milestone for Sunraycer and underscore the strength of our development platform," said David Lillefloren, CEO at Sunraycer. "We are proud to support Google's clean energy objectives while delivering high-quality renewable infrastructure in Texas."

Texas is becoming one of Google’s biggest markets. In November, the firm announced plans to invest some $40 billion in expanding its cloud and AI infrastructure in Texas through 2027. To power its operations in the state, the company has signed multiple PPAs, including agreements with Elawan Energy and X-Elio for a combined 165MW solar capacity, and another with SB Energy.
