ENGIE and QTS Strengthen Partnership in Texas with ABEI Energy’s Lubio Solar Project

ENGIE announced a 48 MWac solar power purchase agreement (PPA) with QTS to supply renewable energy to the company’s data center operations in Irving, Texas. The agreement was executed in parallel with a long-term PPA between ENGIE and ABEI Energy, securing renewable generation from ABEI Energy’s Lubio Solar project in north-central Texas.

Together, these agreements further strengthen the long-standing partnership between ENGIE and QTS while expanding ENGIE’s renewable energy footprint in the ERCOT market.

QTS is a long-standing ENGIE customer, and this agreement reflects its continued work with ENGIE to support renewable energy solutions tailored to the evolving needs of the data center industry.

“This project is a meaningful step forward in our renewable energy strategy, supporting the long-term sustainability and operational resilience of our Texas footprint,” said Travis Wright, Vice President Energy and Sustainability, QTS.

“By partnering with ENGIE, we’re able to support reliable, renewable energy procurement while simplifying delivery through our retail supply arrangement. Collaborations like this help us align clean energy procurement with the operational needs of our data centers.”

“Data center customers continue to seek long-term, dependable renewable energy solutions that align with both operational and sustainability goals,” said Taymur Bunkheila, Regional Vice President, Key Accounts and Energy+, ENGIE North America. “ENGIE’s global experience and integrated capabilities enable us to structure customized solutions that seamlessly combine renewable generation with retail power supply.”

Lubio Solar is an approximately 61 MWac pre-commercial-operation-date solar project located in Kaufman County, Texas, developed by ABEI Energy. Once operational, the project is expected to generate approximately 150 GWh of clean electricity annually, equivalent to avoiding 100,778 metric tons of CO₂ emissions per year. This transaction marks ABEI Energy’s first renewable energy deal with ENGIE in the United States, building on an established partnership between the two companies in Europe.

ENGIE’s proven global leadership in renewable corporate PPAs reinforces its ability to deliver at this scale. Ranked first worldwide in BloombergNEF’s 2025 benchmark, with 3.6 GW signed in 2025 and 13.8 GW contracted since 2011, ENGIE holds the highest total globally over the 2011-2025 period, built on long-term partnerships with leading technology companies and a growing business-to-business customer base.

As data centers increase demand for renewable power across the United States, ENGIE continues to deliver integrated energy solutions that combine renewable generation, retail supply and energy management expertise. This three-party agreement demonstrates ENGIE’s ability to structure customized, scalable solutions that support the growing energy needs of the data center sector.
