TotalEnergies on June 3 said it has acquired eight solar projects with a combined capacity of 350 megawatts (MW) in the U.K. from renewable energy company Low Carbon.
The acquisition also includes two battery storage projects with a total capacity of 85 MW.
“The acquisition of these solar and battery projects located in the south of England will complement our integrated electricity portfolio in the U.K., which includes 1.1 GW [gigawatts] 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, senior vice president of renewables at TotalEnergies.
The advanced stage projects could begin operations by 2028, the company said. They are expected to produce more than 350 gigawatt-hours per year of renewable electricity, which TotalEnergies said is equivalent to the electricity consumption of about 100,000 U.K. households.
