TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) has signed
Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (CPPA) with Sasol South Africa
and Air Liquide Large Industries South Africa for the supply of 260
MW capacity of renewable electricity over 20 years.
TotalEnergies will develop a 120 MW solar plant and a 140 MW
windfarm in the Western Cape province to supply around 850 GWh of
green electricity per year to the Sasol's Secunda site, located 700
kilometers further North-East, where Air Liquide operates the
biggest oxygen production site in the world.
The two projects will provide competitive and available
renewable electricity to decarbonize Sasol and Air Liquide's
production. These agreements demonstrate TotalEnergies' positioning
to contribute to the evolution of the energy mix in South Africa.
The projects will have a direct impact on the local community
through job creations.
"Power generation in South Africa is still 80% based on coal and
power cuts occur daily. With these developments we are proud to
support Air Liquide and Sasol for their supply of green
electricity. Meanwhile, we are pleased to contribute to South
Africa's energy transition which consists of increasing its share
of renewables and gas as an alternative to coal" said Vincent
Stoquart, Senior Vice President, Renewables at TotalEnergies.
"There is a dynamic market for corporate PPAs in South Africa and
we want TotalEnergies to take a strong leadership position."
The two projects are expected to be operational in 2025. The
CPPAs with SASOL and Air Liquide were signed with a consortium of
TotalEnergies Marketing South Africa(1) (70%), its partner Mulilo
(17%) and a to-be-announced B-BBEE partner (13%).
These projects are subject to regulatory approvals.
