TSE, a leading player in solar energy and agrivoltaics in France, and STMicroelectronics , a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, have signed a physical Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to supply renewable electricity from solar parks to STMicroelectronics’ sites in France.
TSE will supply STMicroelectronics with renewable power generated by three solar parks in France, operated by TSE, totaling approximately 43 MW. This 15-year contract, starting in 2027, represents an overall volume of around 780 GWh.
“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% renewable electricity by 2027,” said Chouaib Rokbi, Executive Vice-President 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. Starting in 2027, this PPA with TSE will increase the contribution of renewable energy for ST’s operations in France, which includes R&D, design, sales and marketing, and large-volume chip manufacturing.”
“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,” said Mathieu Debonnet, President and Co-founder, TSE. “Following agreements with BioMérieux, Les Mousquetaires, Agrial, and Albea, this contract with STMicroelectronics further demonstrates confidence in our model—both in delivering decarbonized energy and supporting companies’ ESG commitments. Our teams have the tools and expertise to streamline every step of the process, ensuring seamless execution.”
