- TotalEnergies is launching a 263 MW solar project near Seville to generate 515 GWh yearly and cut 245,000 tons of CO₂.
- It aims to reach 35 GW of renewables by 2025, backing Spain’s 80% clean energy target.
TotalEnergies has launched its largest solar power project cluster in Europe, comprising five solar farms with a combined installed capacity of 263 megawatts (MW) near Seville, Spain.
The French energy major expects the cluster to generate 515 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of renewable electricity annually. This output will power over 150,000 Spanish homes and reduce carbon emissions by 245,000 tonnes yearly.
TotalEnergies plans to sell most of the electricity through long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs), while the rest will go to Spain’s wholesale electricity market. Despite a broader trend among Europe’s Big Oil firms to scale back on green energy investments, TotalEnergies aggressively expands its renewable energy portfolio.
As of March 2025, TotalEnergies had 28 gigawatts (GW) of gross renewable electricity capacity installed globally. The company aims to increase this to 35 GW by the end of 2025. By 2030, it targets more than 100 terawatt-hours (TWh) of net electricity production annually.
Alongside its traditional oil and gas operations, TotalEnergies is developing an Integrated Power portfolio. This strategy combines renewable energy with flexible gas-fired power plants to deliver stable, clean electricity to customers.
In Spain, TotalEnergies ranks as the fourth-largest provider of electricity, gas, and related services. The company currently serves over 2 million residential and business customers nationwide.
According to Olivier Jouny, Senior Vice President of Renewables at TotalEnergies, the Seville project supports Spain’s national goal of sourcing 80% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. “This project is a major milestone for TotalEnergies and Spain’s energy transition,” Jouny said.
While many oil majors have begun cutting back on their early renewable energy ventures from 2020 to 2021, TotalEnergies stands out as an exception. The company prioritises renewable energy growth through strategic acquisitions and joint ventures worldwide.
By staying committed to clean energy, TotalEnergies positions itself as a leading player in the global shift towards a more sustainable power sector.
