The solar projects are expected to be operational by 2028, producing more than 350 gigawatt hours (GWh)/year of renewable electricity. The output is equivalent to the electricity consumption of 100,000 UK households in the UK – a substantial contribution to the region’s renewable energy capacity.
The projects will make a key contribution to the UK government’s Clean Power 2030 ambition.
TotalEnergies renewables senior vice-preside t Olivier Jouny stated: “The acquisition of these solar and battery projects located in the south of England will complement our integrated electricity portfolio in the UK, which includes 1.1GW of gross installed offshore wind, 1.3GW of gross combined cycle gas turbine and more than 600 MW of solar projects under development.”
TotalEnergies, which has been present in the UK for more than 60 years, is deploying its integrated power strategy there. The strategy integrates renewable power production and flexible power generation capacities.
