French energy giant TotalEnergies and Eneos have received clearance to form a joint venture (JV) for developing 2GW of business-to-business (B2B) solar projects in Asia over the next five years.
The deal to create the TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Distributed Generation Asia JV was first announced in April this year.

TotalEnergies Renewables Distributed Generation Asia head Gavin Adda said: “We are very pleased to announce the first set of projects to be developed through our joint venture with ENEOS.
“Together with our partner, we will mobilise our know-how and expertise for more projects in the coming months which puts us firmly on track to achieve the goal of 2GW within the next five years.
“We increasingly see B2B customers preferring to rely on established companies that they can trust to deliver cost-effective, carbon-reducing power solutions.”
TotalEnergies ENEOS has initially decided to sign long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) for 34MWp across nine countries.
