French multinational TotalEnergies has commissioned its largest solar power plant cluster near Seville, Spain.
The cluster comprises five solar projects with a total installed capacity of 263 MW, generating 515 GWh of renewable electricity annually.
This will power over 150,000 Spanish households and avoid 245,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
The electricity will be sold through long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) and on the wholesale market.
Declared a strategic interest by the Junta de Andalucía, the project involved 14 companies, mostly from Seville, creating 800 direct and indirect jobs.
“We thank the Spanish authorities for supporting this solar project, contributing to Spain’s ambition of 80% renewables by 2030,” stated Olivier Jouny, Senior Vice President Renewables at TotalEnergies.
“With 1,700 employees in Spain, we’re building a competitive Integrated Power portfolio, delivering clean firm power to our customers.”
