The energy company TotalEnergies has signed a supply agreement with Data4, one of Europe’s leading data center operators, to supply its facilities in Spain with renewable electricity over the next decade.
The contract, which comes into force in January 2026, provides for the supply of 610 GWh of renewable energy with a constant consumption profile. This energy will be generated by
Renewable energy as the backbone of digital infrastructure
The agreement is framed in the context of the exponential growth of energy demand associated with artificial intelligence and digital expansion. In particular, Madrid is emerging as one of the main digital nodes in Europe, and this contract positions Data4 to respond efficiently to the new demands of the technology sector.
François Sterin, chief operating officer of Data4, emphasized that long-term supply guarantees its customers a carbon-free and economically competitive energy source. “The growth of AI and digital transformation requires a sustainable and predictable energy approach, especially in strategic cities like Madrid,” he said.
TotalEnergies strengthens its role as a strategic supplier
For its part, TotalEnergies continues to consolidate its position as a benchmark energy partner for the global technology industry. With more than 32 GW of installed renewable capacity and an ambitious target of 35 GW by the end of 2025, the company offers integrated solutions that combine solar, wind and flexible assets such as storage.
Sophie Chevalier, senior vice president of Flexible Energy and Integration at TotalEnergies, remarked that the solutions offered are designed to align costs, consumption stability and sustainability. “Our proposition is tailored to the needs of highly demanding and rapidly evolving sectors, such as data centers.”
Shared commitment to sustainability
The alliance is part of Data4’s broader strategy to operate its data center campuses under energy efficiency and environmental responsibility criteria. The company has announced investments of €2 billion through 2030 in Spain, focused on sustainable digital infrastructure.
The contract model adopted, similar to other agreements signed by TotalEnergies with companies such as Amazon, Microsoft or Saint-Gobain, is evidence of a structural change in the corporate electricity supply model.
Both companies point out that such customized energy solutions will become increasingly common among industrial players seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and ensure the energy stability of their critical operations.
