TotalEnergies Wins Two Maritime Leases to Develop two Giga Offshore Wind Farms in Germany
12 Julho 2023 - 12:13PM
Business Wire
TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) has been awarded
by the Bundesnetzagentur (German Federal Network Agency) two marine
concessions, N-12.1 and O-2.2, at the end of the auction held in
Germany.
Located in the North Sea, 170 kilometers off the coast,
concession N-12.1 covers an area of around 200 square kilometers.
Located in the Baltic Sea 40 kilometers from the coast, concession
O-2.2 has a surface area of around 100 square kilometers.
Green electricity for over 3 million households
The concessions will run for a term of 25 years, extendable to
35 years. With capacities of 2 GW and 1 GW respectively, these two
wind farms will provide a volume of electricity equivalent to the
consumption of over 3,000,000 homes. Following these awards,
TotalEnergies will pay the German Federal government 582 million
euros, which will be allocated to the conservation of the marine
environment and the promotion of environmentally friendly fishing.
An annual contribution will also be paid to the electricity
transmission system operators in charge of connecting the projects
for 20 years from commissioning of the sites.
The production generated by these sites will be marketed by
TotalEnergies, either by selling it directly on the electricity
market, or by entering into Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with
end-buyers, enabling them to reduce their carbon footprint. These
projects, which are cost-competitive given the quality of the
sites, are in line with the Company's strategy of becoming an
integrated player in the electricity markets, taking advantage of
price volatility. They will contribute to the Integrated Power
Business Unit’s objective of reaching a two-digit
profitability.
Commissioning by 2030
These major projects are in line with the German government's
objective of deploying 30 GW of offshore wind power in Germany by
2030. The next step for TotalEnergies will be to carry out the
studies required to obtain the environmental permits, as well as
the technical analyses on these sites, leading to investment
decisions in 2027 and commissioning by 2030.
“TotalEnergies is proud to leverage its expertise in offshore
and large-scale projects to build these giant wind farms, which
will make a significant contribution to the development of
renewable electricity in Europe by 2030. Our entry into offshore
wind power in Germany, Europe's largest electricity market, is a
key step in the implementation of our strategy to become an
integrated profitable player in the electricity markets. After the
commissioning of a floating LNG regasification unit at the Lubmin
terminal in January 2023, this is a further commitment by
TotalEnergies to deploy our multi-energy strategy in Germany and
contribute to the country's and Europe's energy security.,” said
Patrick Pouyanné, chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies.
