TotalEnergies launched its largest solar power plant cluster in Europe with a total installed capacity of 263 megawatts, according to a May 22 press release.
The plant, near Sevilla, Spain, consists of five solar projects expected to produce 515 gigawatt-hours per year of renewable electricity, equivalent to the consumption of more than 150,000 Spanish households.
Most of the electricity produced will be sold through long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) and the rest will be sold on the wholesale market, TotalEnergies said.
The field includes installation of 400,000 bifacial solar panels with trackers, which “provided a significant economic boost to the local economy,” TotalEnergies said.
The field is also anticipated to avoid 245,000 tons of CO2 emissions annually, the release stated.
“We warmly thank the Spanish authorities at both the regional and national levels for supporting this solar project that is contributing to Spain's ambition of 80% of renewables in its mix by 2030”, said Olivier Jouny, senior vice president renewables at TotalEnergies.
As of March 2025, TotalEnergies said it has 28 gigawatts (GW) of installed gross renewable electricity generation capacity and aims to reach 35 GW by the end of 2025.
The company also aims to hold more than 100 terrawatt-hours of net electricity production by 2030.
