Renewable Power: STMicroelectronics and TSE Sign 15-Year PPA to Power French Sites with Solar Energy
November 21, 2025 | Globe NewswireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
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.”

Dan’s Biz Bookshelf: ‘Abundance: How We Build a Better Future’
05/07/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: Dan's Biz BookshelfEvery once in a while, a book comes along that doesn’t just make you think, it makes you sit up straighter and ask: Why aren’t we doing this better? "Abundance" is exactly that kind of book. When so much of our national conversation revolves around scarcity—housing, energy, infrastructure, and opportunity—authors Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson flip the script. They argue, persuasively and intelligently, that America’s real problem isn’t a lack of ideas. It’s a lack of execution.
