SAN FRANCISCO and HOUSTON : TotalEnergies announced it reached the milestone of 500 MW of onsite B2B solar distributed generation projects in operation. More than 300 sites of its industrial and commercial customers have been equipped with solar panels in Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the United States.
TotalEnergies sells to its B2B customers renewable electricity produced directly on their sites through long-term onsite Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). It develops, finances, builds and operates the solar installations on roofs and carports, as well as on available industrial land.
These solar solutions enable companies to produce clean energy directly at their sites – benefitting from significant savings on their current electricity costs and reducing their carbon footprints.
“We are delighted to have reached 500 MW of onsite B2B distributed solar capacity worldwide. Thanks to our expertise in this market segment, we provide concrete and competitive solutions to our B2B customers to help them reach their sustainability goals and reduce their energy costs. With a footprint spanning 30 countries worldwide in the Distributed Generation business, we expect to speed up our growth and expand our portfolio in operation to one gigawatt by 2023,” said Matthieu Langeron, VP Solar Distributed Generation at TotalEnergies.
TotalEnergies is targeting 4 GW of solar capacity by 2025 in the U.S. and has reinforced its global commitment to renewable energy through its acquisition of SunPower Corp.’s Commercial & Industrial Solutions (CIS) business earlier this year.
TotalEnergies supports leading B2B customers in the U.S. on their journey to carbon neutrality, such as the Delaware River Port Authority.
“We believe that we are not only adding value to our operations with our spectacular solar project but also creating value for the community. This is something we were able to accomplish in partnership with TotalEnergies,” said John T. Hanson, Delaware River Port Authority CEO and Port Authority Transit Corporation President.
