TotalEnergies SE (NYSE:TTE) revealed on May 22, 2025, that it has started up a cluster of five solar projects in Seville, Spain, with a total installed capacity of 263 MW, marking the French energy major's largest solar power plant cluster in Europe. The solar field will generate 515 GWh of electricity annually, enough to power more than 150,000 Spanish households, marking a key step forward in Spain’s push toward 80% renewables by 2030. The company revealed that most of the electricity generated will be sold through long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs), while the remaining will be traded on the wholesale market.
The Seville project, declared of strategic interest by the Andalusian government, included the installation of 400,000 bifacial solar panels equipped with sun-tracking systems, generated 800 direct and indirect jobs, and provided a significant economic boost to the local economy. Olivier Jouny, Senior Vice President Renewables at TotalEnergies SE (NYSE:TTE), 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. With our 1,700 employees in Spain, we are building a competitive Integrated Power portfolio that combines renewables and flexible gas-fired power plants to deliver clean firm power to our customers. We are proud to be the 4th largest provider of electricity, gas, and related services in Spain, where we have more than 2 million residential and professional customers."
TotalEnergies SE (NYSE:TTE) remains focused on expanding its portfolio beyond oil and gas, boasting 28 GW of gross installed renewable capacity worldwide, with a goal of reaching 35 GW by the end of 2025 and more than 100 TWh of net electricity production by 2030.
