TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) has obtained from
the Spanish authorities (Ministry of Energy Transition and
Autonomous Communities) a favorable Environmental Impact Assessment
for an estimated 3 GW of installed capacity.
Large-scale solar projects throughout the country
This favorable result relates to the 48 power plants that
TotalEnergies will develop in the Madrid region (installed capacity
of 1.9 GW), in the Murcia region (more than 350 MW), in Castilla-La
Mancha (more than 300 MW), in Andalusia (263 MW) and in Aragon
(approximately 150 MW). The first projects will come on stream
early 2024.
The plants will generate about 6,000 GWh of clean energy per
year, enough to meet the annual electricity demand of nearly 4
million people. They will also avoid the emission into the
atmosphere of close to 50 million tons of CO2 during their
lifetime.
Socially and environmentally responsible projects
TotalEnergies will promote a series of compensatory measures,
including bird marking for behavior monitoring, renting 400
additional hectares for conservation efforts, and utilizing 1.5% of
plant production for electricity bill discounts for local
residents, while providing construction and Operation &
Maintenance training to residents in surrounding
municipalities.
"With 2 million residential and business customers in Spain, our
Company is firmly committed to promoting the development of
renewable energy in the country. Obtaining this favorable
environmental impact assessment is therefore a great step forward
for us," said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of TotalEnergies. "For Spain, the development of these
solar farms will make a massive contribution to the country's
energy transition, as they will be able to power the equivalent of
the population of the entire community of Madrid. For
TotalEnergies, these projects will bring us closer to our goal of
100 GW of gross renewable installed capacity by 2030 worldwide"
TotalEnergies is proud to contribute to Spain's goal of
obtaining 70% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030 and
100% by mid-century.
