TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) is developing its
renewable activities in Poland by acquiring the country's main
biogas producer, Polska Grupa Biogazowa (PGB), and a 200-megawatt
(MW) development pipeline of solar projects.
Poland, Europe's Fourth-Largest Biogas Potential
With 130 employees in nine Polish regions, PGB is mainly
involved in generating renewable heat and power from biogas sourced
from organic waste. It owns and operates 17 facilities in
production and one under construction, for a total power generation
capacity of 166 GWh per year(1) . PGB's portfolio also includes a
development pipeline of 23 projects.
The acquisition of PGB raises TotalEnergies' biogas production
capacity to 1.1 TWh and gives the Company a leading position in the
promising Polish market, which represents Europe's fourth-largest
potential for biogas and biomethane production, estimated at close
100 terawatt-hours (TWh).
Poland, a Dynamic Solar Market
TotalEnergies is also entering the Polish solar market with the
acquisition of six solar projects under development representing a
production capacity of 200 MW. Located in northern and western
Poland, the first solar farms are expected to come on stream by
2025.
"These agreements illustrate TotalEnergies' commitment to
developing its renewable activities in Poland, and in Europe as a
whole, to support the European Green Deal," said Stéphane Michel,
President Gas, Renewables & Power at TotalEnergies. "On the one
hand, we are gaining a solid foothold in Poland's biogas market
thanks to an existing company's proven track record, experienced
teams, and broad asset base. On the other hand, we are developing
our presence in renewable energies with a portfolio of solar
projects. With these two transactions, we are pleased to be able
support Poland in its ambition to develop renewable energies and
strengthen its energy sovereignty. We hope we will also have the
opportunity to provide Poland with our expertise in offshore wind,
an area in which we have formed a partnership with KGHM."

TotalEnergies, Europe Second Largest Biogas Producer
TotalEnergies is one of the segment leaders in Europe, with now
1,1 TWh of biogas production capacity, and aims to become a major
player internationally by partnering with market leaders such as
Clean Energy in the United States. The Company is active across the
entire value chain, from project development to marketing of this
renewable gas and its by-products (biofertilizers, bioCO(2) ). It
aims to produce at least 20 TWh per year by 2030, which represents
the average annual gas consumption of four million French
consumers, and a reduction in CO(2) emissions of around four
million tons.
TotalEnergies and renewable electricity
As part of its ambition to get to net zero by 2050,
TotalEnergies is building a portfolio of activities in electricity
and renewables. At the end of 2022, TotalEnergies' gross renewable
electricity generation installed capacity stood at almost 17 GW.
TotalEnergies will continue to expand this business to reach 35 GW
of gross production capacity from renewable sources and storage by
2025, and then 100 GW by 2030, with the objective of being among
the world's top 5 producers of electricity from wind and solar
energy.
