TIDMTTE
TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) and Veolia have
signed an agreement to start the construction of the largest solar
photovoltaic (PV) systems providing power for a desalination plant
in Oman, in the city of Sur. The power plant will be located on the
site of the Sharqiyah Desalination plant, which is a reference in
Oman and in the gulf region, supplying drinking water to more than
600,000 inhabitants of the Sharqiyah region.
This 17-megawatt peak (MWp) solar project will be the first of
its kind to be installed in the region. It produces annually over
30,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of green electricity, or more than a
third of the desalination plant's daily consumption, enabling it to
avoid close to 300,000 tons of CO(2) emissions.
This is in line with Oman's National Energy Strategy to convert
30% of its electricity use to renewable sources by 2030. The plant
will be equipped with more than 32,000 high-efficiency solar panels
and will use an innovative East-West tracker system to increase
energy production. It will cover an area of 130,000 square meters,
equivalent to approximately 18 football pitches.
"At Veolia, we are committed to bring the ecological
transformation in the water sector for our clients and for our own
assets. We're happy to launch the construction of the solar plant
on our desalination unit in the city of Sur, to be able to power it
with the green electricity while drastically reducing its carbon
footprint, Estelle Brachlianoff, Chief Executive Officer of Veolia
said. As one of the key players of Oman's water sector, Veolia is
fully committed to supporting Oman's Vision 2040 sustainability
objectives for the Sultanate's communities and industries and our
solar project with TotalEnergies goes in this direction."
"This project is in line with our strategy to develop renewable
energy in the Middle East and provide our customers with clean,
reliable and affordable energy solutions. We are committed to
helping Veolia decarbonize its operations, building on our strong
track record of deploying renewable energy solutions at highly
technical and complex sites. As a global multi-energy company, our
goal is to contribute to the development of renewables in Oman and
its region," said Vincent Stoquart, Senior Vice President
Renewables at TotalEnergies
Veolia is deploying solutions to optimize the energy efficiency
of its desalination activities, including its Sharqiyah
Desalination plant. The Group, in partnership with TotalEnergies,
has decided to take a further step towards green transformation by
using renewable energy to power the plant instead of fossil
fuels.
TotalEnergies aims to assist producing countries in building a
more sustainable future through a better use of the country's
natural resources, including solar energy, which will directly
improve the accessibility of cleaner, more reliable and more
affordable electricity. The Company is leveraging its leadership
position in the region to develop large-scale solar projects in
Qatar, Iraq and Libya. These projects illustrate the sustainable
development model of TotalEnergies, a global multi-energy company
that supports producing countries in their energy transition.
