TotalEnergies is partnering with RWE to develop two large wind projects in Germany’s North Sea after Paris-based TotalEnergies acquired a 50% stake in the projects, the company said Oct. 7.
The two companies aim to commission the two projects, N-9.1 in 2031 and N-9.2 in 2032. Each project is on a site large enough to generate wind capacities of 2 gigawatts, according to RWE. The company announced it was awarded the N-9.1 and N-9.2 concessions in August after paying a total bid price of €250 million.
The projects increase to five the concessions TotalEnergies holds in Germany, the company said.
“This new partnership contributes to our integrated development in the German electricity market, the largest in Europe, and will enable TotalEnergies to provide green electrons to decarbonize the country’s electricity and industry,” said Olivier Jouny, senior vice president of renewables at TotalEnergies.
RWE and TotalEnergies are also partners in the OranjeWind project in North Sea off the Dutch coast. The wind farm will have an installed capacity of 795 megawatts. Offshore construction is expected to start in 2026 with full commissioning in early 2028.
“TotalEnergies shares our ambition to further drive the growth of offshore wind energy to accelerate the energy transition in Germany and beyond,” said RWE Offshore Wind CEO Sven Utermöhlen. “Our RWE teams will bring their many years of experience in the offshore wind industry and in-depth knowledge of the offshore wind industry to successfully develop and build the two wind farms.”
