SAINT-GOBAIN signs a renewable electricity supply agreement in france

 

Saint-Gobain has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with TotalEnergies to supply renewable electricity to Saint-Gobain's French industrial facilities. It will take effect from January 2026 for a total volume of 875 GWh over a period of five years.

 

TotalEnergies will provide Saint-Gobain with a baseload supply of electricity and guarantees of origin for that amount of power, produced by TotalEnergies' wind and solar plants across France. 

 

"Saint-Gobain is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Realizing this ambition involves decarbonizing our production processes. This contract signed with TotalEnergies allows the Group to take a further step towards this goal with a reliable and continuous supply of renewable electricity for our industrial sites. With this PPA, combined with the three others signed by the Group in France since 2021, 30% of the electricity used by Saint-Gobain in France will come from renewable sources by 2027", explained Swaroop Srinath, Energy Purchasing Director, Saint-Gobain.
