TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE), Iberdrola and
Norsk Havvind have joined forces to respond to the Norwegian
authorities' call for tenders for the development of floating and
bottom-fixed wind projects for a cumulated capacity of 4.5 GW at
two offshore sites in southern Norway.
The consortium will leverage in its offer the proven technical
expertise of its members in both bottom fixed and floating offshore
wind, as well as its in-depth knowledge of the challenges,
territories and stakeholders in Norway. Besides, on successful
award, the consortium will focus on strengthening the local
industrial competencies and ensuring the successful development of
the Norwegian offshore wind supply chain.
"Investing in energy projects in Norway and the North Sea has
been at the heart of TotalEnergies' history for several decades,
especially in developing the offshore industry. As a global
multi-energy company, TotalEnergies is therefore delighted to join
forces with Iberdrola and Norsk Havvind to develop Norway's great
offshore wind potential". said Olivier Terneaud, VP offshore wind
at TotalEnergies. "The energy transition is gathering speed and
Norway, with its world-class wind resources, is a great place to
invest in new energy".
"This agreement in Norway fits with Iberdrola's strategy to
consolidate its position as the world's largest renewable energy
company and builds on previous transactions and investments in
offshore wind carried out by the company in recent years. We see
very good long-term potential for offshore wind projects in the
Norwegian market and are determined to strengthen skills and the
supply chain in the North Sea offshore wind industry," said David
Rowland, Offshore Wind Business Development Director at
Iberdrola.
"Together with our partners Iberdrola and TotalEnergies we will
work hard to develop the Norwegian offshore wind industry, reduce
emissions and create new jobs for the Norwegian supply chain", said
Peder Sortland, CEO at Norsk Havvind.
