Overview
- Electricity will come from the Wichita 805 MWp and Mustang Creek 195 MWp projects in Texas, with construction scheduled to begin in Q2 2026.
- The contracts are expected to provide about 28 TWh of solar power over 15 years for Google facilities on the ERCOT grid.
- Google says the deal adds necessary new generation to the local system, increasing affordable and reliable power available to the region.
- The new PPAs complement separate Clearway agreements of roughly 1.17–1.2 GW that support Google across ERCOT, PJM, and SPP.
- Coverage notes solar’s variability poses challenges for round-the-clock data-center demand, highlighting potential roles for scheduling, storage, or other firm capacity.
