TotalEnergies has acquired a portfolio of 10 renewable energy projects from Low Carbon, including 8 solar farms totaling 350 MW and 2 battery storage projects with 85 MW of capacity. The projects, all located in the UK, are at an advanced stage of development and are expected to be operational by 2028.
Once completed, the solar projects will generate over 350 GWh of clean electricity annually—enough to power approximately 100,000 UK homes. This acquisition strengthens TotalEnergies’ presence in the UK renewable market and supports its strategy to grow its integrated power business.
“We are very pleased with the acquisition of this pipeline from the renewable developer Low Carbon. The acquisition of these solar and battery projects located in the south of England will complement our integrated electricity portfolio in the UK, which includes 1.1 GW of gross installed offshore wind, 1.3 GW of gross combined cycle gas turbine, and more than 600 MW of solar projects under development”, said Olivier Jouny, SVP renewables at TotalEnergies.
Roy Bedlow, Chief Executive and Founder at Low Carbon, added: “We are very pleased to have finalised this agreement with TotalEnergies, who are making an impressive commitment to building renewable infrastructure and sees Low Carbon deliver one of the largest ready-to-build portfolios of solar and battery projects in the UK market. Once built, these projects will make a vital contribution to the Government’s Clean Power 2030 ambition and reinforce Low Carbon’s track record for developing renewable assets of the highest quality, while supporting the build out of the rest of our renewables pipeline as we continue to scale as an independent power producer.”
