TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) will develop a
series of photovoltaic and energy storage projects in New Caledonia
in order to deliver decarbonized electricity via a 25-year
renewable power purchase agreement (PPA) for the industrial
operations of mining and metallurgy consortium Prony Resources New
Caledonia.
Between 2022 and 2025, the Company, will develop, in successive
phases, ground-based photovoltaic arrays with installed capacity of
160 MW, as well as 340 MWh of energy battery storage capacity. Most
of the installations will be located on property owned by the Grand
Sud hydrometallurgical plant. The first photovoltaic power plant
(30 MW) is scheduled to come on stream in 2023.
Ultimately, the project will cover nearly two-thirds of the
site's electricity needs and will help avoid close to 230,000 tons
of CO(2) emissions. This project strengthens Prony Resources New
Caledonia's ambition of achieving carbon neutrality by 2040.
By combining solar energy and energy storage to replace
electricity generated from coal, TotalEnergies is demonstrating its
ability to provide a sustainable energy solution to Prony Resources
New Caledonia while meeting demanding local, industrial,
environmental and social requirements.
"Prony Resources New Caledonia's commitment to decarbonization
is both ambitious and pioneering in the industry. We are very proud
to support their energy transition, and that of New Caledonia,"
said Thierry Muller, CEO of TotalEnergies Renewables France. "As
industrial firms, we think and act responsibly. Our two companies
are committed to protecting natural resources and biodiversity, and
to improving the situation of local communities. With this
long-term partnership, we are demonstrating that it is possible to
support industrial activity in New Caledonia and participate in a
sustainable development approach at the same time."
"Certainly, one of the most important pathways in our industrial
transformation -- an orderly and assertive transition of our energy
mix towards renewables -- allows Prony Resources to ensure that its
electric vehicle battery manufacturer customers are supplied with
high environmental quality nickel and cobalt while contributing to
New Caledonia's sustainable development. The choice of
TotalEnergies brings in world-class industrial expertise and opens
the door to exciting opportunities and innovations in the years
ahead," declared Antonin Beurrier, Chairman of Prony Resources New
Caledonia.
