SAINT-GOBAIN AND TOTALENERGIES SIGN A MAJOR RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AGREEMENT IN NORTH AMERICA

Paris/Houston, October 25, 2022 - Saint-Gobain has signed a 10-year renewable electricity supply agreement (Power Purchase Agreement or PPA) with TotalEnergies for the purchase of solar power for its 145 industrial sites in North America (United States and Canada).

Commenting on this agreement, Mark Rayfield, CEO of Saint-Gobain North America, said: "With this agreement, Saint-Gobain North America will dramatically reduce its CO(2) emissions while sending a strong signal to the market that the manufacturing industry is ready to commit to green electricity. This renewable energy project is critical to meeting Saint-Gobain's commitment to reduce scope 1 and 2 CO(2) emissions by 33% by 2030 - compared to 2017 - and to reach carbon neutrality by 2050."

"We are excited to support Saint-Gobain and be a part of making their sustainable goals in North America a reality, and we look forward to continuing this mutual effort to decarbonize their energy supplies," said Marc-Antoine Pignon, Managing Director, TotalEnergies Renewables USA. " Our ambition in the U.S. is to become a key partner for corporate players committed to achieving carbon neutrality by offering them innovative and cost-effective renewable solutions to decarbonize their electricity consumption."

This 200 MW PPA is expected to offset Saint-Gobain's North American CO(2) emissions from electricity (scope 2 emissions) by 210,000 Metric Tons per year, a reduction of around 33%. The agreement is expected to start at the end of 2024.

This is the second PPA signed in North America by Saint-Gobain, the first one being a wind project in Blooming Grove, Illinois (United States). The two projects combined are expected to represent a 62% reduction in Saint-Gobain North America's scope 2 emissions.
