TotalEnergies has entered into an agreement to provide 800 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of renewable electricity over a ten-year period to SWM’s three plants in France.

The contract will cover the Papeteries de Saint Girons, PDM Industries and LTR Industries sites.

TotalEnergies will source the electricity from around 50MW of its operational renewable assets in France.

TotalEnergies Flexible Power & Integration senior vice-president Sophie Chevalier said: “We are delighted to support SWM in its decarbonisation efforts and pursuit of competitiveness through our ‘clean firm power’ solutions.

“This contract illustrates TotalEnergies’ ability to offer tailor-made solutions adapted to the specific needs of our industrial customers in France. These solutions are based on our integrated production portfolio combining both renewable and flexible assets.”

The arrangement aims to deliver electricity with a consistent supply profile to support SWM’s production processes.

SWM vice-president and CIO Giuliano Scilio said: “This agreement secures half of our French electricity needs from renewable sources for the next decade, a decisive step toward our commitment to significantly reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2033.

“For an energy-intensive industry like ours, this isn't just an environmental milestone; it is a strategic investment that gives us cost predictability and strengthens our ability to offer customers genuinely sustainable solutions.”

TotalEnergies has reported an installed gross renewable generation capacity exceeding 32GW as of October 2025.

The company targets more than 100 terawatt-hours (TWh) of net electricity production by 2030, combining solar, onshore and offshore wind, and flexible resources such as combined cycle gas turbines and storage.

Last month, TotalEnergies announced a 21-year power purchase agreement with Google to supply 1TWh of certified renewable electricity from the Citra Energies solar plant in northern Kedah, Malaysia.
