TotalEnergies has signed a 10-year agreement to supply renewable electricity to French paper manufacturer SWM, supporting the company’s decarbonisation plans.
The contract will run from January 2026 and cover a total volume of 800 GWh of electricity delivered to SWM’s three French sites.
The plants included in the agreement are Papeteries de Saint Girons, PDM Industries and LTR Industries. Power will be supplied under a constant delivery profile, known as Clean Firm Power, tailored to industrial demand.
Electricity under the contract will be generated from around 50 MW of TotalEnergies’ existing renewable assets in France. This approach is designed to provide SWM with stable, competitive and low-carbon electricity over the duration of the deal.
The agreement reflects growing demand from energy-intensive industries for long-term renewable power solutions that offer both price stability and security of supply. Clean Firm Power combines renewable generation with flexible assets to ensure consistent delivery.
For SWM, the deal supports efforts to reduce emissions while maintaining operational competitiveness across its French manufacturing base.
Sophie Chevalier, Senior Vice President Flexible Power & Integration at TotalEnergies, said: “We are delighted to support SWM in its decarbonization 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.”
TotalEnergies said the agreement highlights its strategy of leveraging an integrated portfolio to meet the specific energy needs of industrial customers as France continues its energy transition.
