TotalEnergies to Supply 800 GWh of Renewable Electricity to Paper Manufacturer SWM Over 10 Years
TotalEnergies and SWM, one of the major players in the paper industry, announce the signing of a contract for the supply of renewable electricity with a constant delivery profile (Clean Firm Power) to SWM’s three plants in France (Papeteries de Saint Girons, PDM Industries and LTR Industries).
The contract will begin in January 2026 for a duration of 10 years and will represent a total volume of 800 GWh. TotalEnergies will supply this electricity from approximately 50 MW of its existing renewable generation assets in France, ensuring SWM receives competitive, stable and low-carbon electricity that meets the needs of the paper industry.
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.

“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’s a strategic investment that gives us cost predictability and strengthens our ability to offer customers genuinely sustainable solutions,” stated Giuliano Scilio, Vice President & CIO at SWM.
