European chip manufacturer STMicroelectronics has signed a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with French solar developer TSE Energy. The PPA will see TSE supply ST with power generated by three solar parks in France, with a combined capacity of 43MW. The contract will commence in 2027 and represents an overall annual capacity of approximately 780GWh.
“This is our second PPA in France, marking another important step towards ST’s goal of becoming carbon neutral in its operations (Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and partially Scope 3) by 2027, including the sourcing of 100 percent renewable electricity by 2027,” said Chouaib Rokbi, EVP DTIT and global procurement organization, STMicroelectronics. “PPAs play a major role in our transition, and we have already signed several to support ST’s operations in France, Italy, Malaysia, and Morocco.”
“France’s energy resilience is built on action and ambition. This partnership with STMicroelectronics demonstrates our collective ability to align industrial sovereignty with the energy transition. To remain a strong and competitive nation, France must secure sovereign, abundant, decarbonized, and cost-effective energy,” added Mathieu Debonnet, president and co-founder, TSE.
