Global energy giant TotalEnergies and leading aircraft manufacturer Airbus have signed two landmark clean firm power contracts that will supply 3.3 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity to Airbus sites across Germany and the UK.
The electricity, coming from new renewable assets with a combined capacity of 200 MW, will cover roughly half of the sites’ energy needs starting in 2027. The supply is designed with a baseload profile, ensuring steady, reliable power well into the next decade.
“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 growing quickly its production base and its sales,” said Stéphane Michel, President, Gas, Renewables & Power at TotalEnergies.
“These new contracts illustrate TotalEnergies’ ability to deliver turnkey clean firm power solutions on multi-geographies to support our industrial customers in their energy transition. These contracts, which rely on our integrated power portfolio combining both renewable and flexible assets will contribute positively to the profitability of our electricity business.”
Airbus, which has been ramping up its energy efficiency and emissions reduction efforts, hailed the agreement as a step toward securing low-carbon energy for its operations.
“As Airbus continues to make steady progress towards our energy efficiency and emissions reduction targets, these power purchase agreements (PPA) with TotalEnergies demonstrates our long-term commitment to decarbonising our sites,” said Florent Massou dit Labaquère, EVP of Operations for the Commercial Aircraft business of Airbus.
“These agreements will help Airbus secure reliable low-carbon energy, supporting our goal to increase renewable electricity across our sites. Complementing our existing collaboration with TotalEnergies to scale SAF production capabilities, these PPAs are part of our holistic approach to build resilience in our operations.”
