Google has signed two long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) in Malaysia.

The first deal saw it ink a 21-year PPA with TotalEnergies to supply the tech giant with 20MW of solar power from the Citra Energies solar plant in the northern Kedah province.

TotalEnergies has said that it will commence construction on the project early next year. Google intends to use the power to support its operations in Malaysia. The PPA will take effect upon the project's financial close, expected in Q1 2026.

“We’re thrilled to build on our collaboration with TotalEnergies in Malaysia. This agreement is a key part of our strategy to make meaningful investments that benefit the economies where we operate. By enabling this new clean capacity, we are supporting local growth of the electricity system hosting our infrastructure,” said Giorgio Fortunato, head of Clean Energy & Power, Asia Pacific, Google.

The PPA is the second between the two companies in a matter of months. In November, the companies inked a 15-year PPA with Google, set to receive 1.5TWh of power from the 49MW Montpelier solar farm, which is expected to reach operational status by the end of the year.

“We are delighted to strengthen our collaboration with Google through this agreement to supply renewable electricity to their new data center in Malaysia,” said Sophie Chevalier, SVP Flexible Power & Integration at TotalEnergies. “This PPA illustrates our Company’s ability to offer competitive power solutions tailored to the needs of major tech groups, both in mature markets, such as the United States and Europe, and in emerging countries like Malaysia. It also contributes to achieving our target of 12 percent profitability in the power sector.”

The second deal Google struck in Malaysia was with Japanese developer Shizen Energy, which is tied to an under-development 29.99MW solar project in Gurun, Kedah, Malaysia.

“The successful expansion of our collaboration with Google from Japan to Malaysia underscores the trusted relationship we have built and validates Shizen Energy’s capability to deliver large-scale, complex renewable energy solutions across borders. As our first utility-scale project in Malaysia, this 29.99MWac facility is a flagship for our Southeast Asia growth strategy and significantly contributes to our cumulative regional capacity. We see Malaysia as a key market and aim to continue strengthening our leadership and expanding our presence in the region,” said Kenji Kawado, CEO, Shizen International.

The project is scheduled to reach operational status in 2028. It is being constructed by SM01 Sdn. Bhd, a consortium of Shizen Malaysia (49 percent), Solarvest (33 percent), and HSS (18 percent). As part of the deal, Google will receive environmental attributes from the solar plant, with the energy delivered to the Malaysian grid.

Google announced its intention to develop its first cloud region and data center in Malaysia in 2022. It followed this up in 2024 with a commitment to invest $2 billion into the project. The company broke ground at the data center in October 2024, at the Elmina Business Park outside Kuala Lumpur.
