Business Wire
Regulatory News:
Total (Paris:FP) (LSE:TTA) (NYSE:TOT), through Total Quadran, a
wholly-owned affiliate dedicated to developing and producing
renewable energy in France, was awarded with 131 megawatt-peak
(MWp) of solar projects – or 20% of the total up for the seventh
round of the CRE 4 (French Energy Regulatory Commission) tender for
ground-mounted solar parks, as well as 5.6 MWp of solar in the
French Overseas departments and collectivities (ZNI1).
More than half the capacities awarded fall under Total’s program
to solarize its industrial facilities and reuse of industrial
brownfield sites, including:
- Total’s future largest ground-mounted solar plant in
France: the 50 MWp solar plant in Valenciennes is the largest
project awarded in the call for tenders and Total Quadran’s biggest
solar plant to date. It will be installed on Total’s former
refinery site that has been redeveloped by RETIA2. The solar plant
will supply green electricity to nearly 32,000 people when it comes
on stream in 2022.
- the largest photovoltaic power plant of the Greater Paris
Region: located near the Grandpuits refinery, the 25 MWp solar
plant will be the largest in the Greater Paris Region. It will
generate enough renewable electricity to cover the needs of nearly
17,000 people. The plant is scheduled to come on stream by
2022.
The projects of Lavéra (3 MWp), located in Bouches-du-Rhône,
Serpaize (5 MWp) and Brignoud (4 MWp), both in Isère, all
located on industrial brownfield sites were also included in the
winning CRE 4.7 tender.
“Total Quadran is proud to rank among France’s renewable energy
leaders. The results of this call for tenders illustrate our
ability to put together solid, competitive bids in an increasingly
competitive environment,” said Thierry Muller, General
Manager of Total Quadran. “Total’s program to solarize
industrial facilities by enhancing brownfield sites is a key factor
in this success which we intend to carry on.”
Total and Low-Carbon Electricity
As part of its ambition to become the responsible energy major,
Total is building a portfolio of low-carbon electricity operations,

capacity is close to 7 gigawatts, of which 3 gigawatts from
renewable energy sources.
With over 6 GW of solar projects announced since the beginning
of 2020, the Group is well on track to reach its objective of 25 GW
of installed power generation capacity from renewable sources by
2025.
