TIDMTTE
A consortium of TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE),
Green Investment Group (GIG) and Qair has been pre-selected by the
Direction Générale de l'Energie et du Climat ("DGEC") to
participate in an upcoming competitive tender for the development
of a floating wind farm of up to 270 MW in Southern Brittany.
Through the tender, the consortium will bid to develop a project
that will produce enough green energy to power the equivalent of
250,000 homes across France.
The consortium believes the Southern Brittany tender round is a
key step in the deployment of this new technology and will help
foster the development of a cutting-edge industry in France.
A sustainable development opportunity for Brittany
TotalEnergies, GIG and Qair are committed to working closely
with local stakeholders and utilizing the local supply chain
wherever possible to maximise the economic benefits to the regions
of Brittany.
A key consortium
The consortium intends to leverage the member's unique mix of
local knowledge, financial expertise, technical proficiency, their
experience in renewable energy, as well as their ambitions for the
growth of the floating offshore wind sector:
-- TotalEnergies, a broad energy company, has expertise in offshore
operations and maintenance thanks to its historical activities.
TotalEnergies is already developing and building offshore wind projects
with a cumulative capacity of approximately 6 GW, including three
floating offshore wind projects in Europe and Asia.
-- Green Investment Group is a global leader in green energy investment and
development, which has committed over EUR30 billion to the sector to
date. With a total global portfolio of 14 GW, GIG is one of the world's
largest players in the offshore wind sector.
-- Qair, an independent producer of exclusively renewable energy and a
pioneer in floating wind power in France, has more than 30 years of
experience in the field and a strong local presence in France.
A proven track record
This joint bid is based on a productive history between the
members of the consortium:
-- Over 2 GW of floating wind projects in South Korea (GIG and
TotalEnergies),
-- the 1.5 GW bottom-fixed Outer Dowsing offshore wind project in the UK
(GIG and TotalEnergies),
-- the Eolmed floating offshore wind pilot project in France (Qair and
TotalEnergies)
"We are delighted to join forces with our partners Qair and GIG
once again, to contribute to the French energy transition and the
development of the Brittany region. Thanks to our expertise in
offshore projects and the development of renewable projects, we
have the resources to meet the technical and financial challenges
of the project." said Julien Pouget, Senior Vice President
Renewables at TotalEnergies
"The deployment of floating offshore wind at scale is critical
to realizing the full potential of France, and the world's, wind
resource. With its deep waters and industrial heritage, Brittany is
fantastically placed to unlock this new sector, creating
significant job and investment opportunities." said Edward Northam,
Head of GIG Europe
"We are pleased to bring together our complementary expertise in
the development, financing, construction and operation of renewable
energy projects to contribute to the growth of the French floating
offshore wind industry, built around an industrial project anchored
in Brittany." said Louis Blanchard, President of Qair
