TotalEnergies (TTE), Adani Green Ink JV to Fund 1.1GWac Project
TotalEnergies TTE recently announced that it has signed a new clean energy joint venture (JV) with Adani Green Energy Limited (“AGEL”). Under this agreement, TotalEnergies will invest $300 million and hold a 50% stake in the new JV, with AGEL holding the rest.
The JV will hold a portfolio of 1,050 megawatts alternating current (MWac) - 300 MW of operational capacity, 500 MWac under-construction projects and 250 MWac under-development assets, including solar and wind power.
TTE’s Clean Energy Focus
TotalEnergies, which aims to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, had a gross renewable power generation installed capacity of 19 gigawatts (GWs) as of July 2023. The company plans to expand its business to reach 35 GWs of gross production capacity from renewable sources and storage by 2025 and 100 GWs by 2030.
Notably, its recent achievements in the renewable sector include the plan to build a new mechanical recycling unit for plastic waste at its Grandpuits site southeast of Paris and its partnership with European Energy to build and operate in a 65/35 JV with at least 4 GWs of onshore renewable projects in multiple regions.
With industries across the board rapidly adopting renewables as their preferred choice of energy source, TotalEnergies' efforts to expand its renewable portfolio, including the latest JV signed with AGEL, can be expected to bolster its position in the expanding renewables market.
TTE’s Prospects in India
While China and the United States continue to be the forerunners in the global renewable space, India holds a significant position when it comes to emerging nations’ contribution to promoting clean energy. Impressively, India is one of the biggest emerging economies offering high growth prospects for renewable energy generation.
Per India Brand Equity Foundation’s Report, India had a fully renewable energy capacity of 168.9 GW, including 67.82 GW of solar power and 43.20 of wind power as of May 30, 2023. The country is targeting about 450 GW of installed renewable energy capacity by 2030, with more than 60% expected from solar.
TotalEnergies has been actively making developments to expand its presence in India’s renewable power market. The recent announcement will enable it to speed up its development in the country.
Apart from this, TotalEnergies already has a 19.7% stake in AGEL. The company also has an equal JV with AGEL, called Adani Green Energy Twenty Three Limited (AGE23L), which holds a portfolio of 2,353 MW.
