Germany: TotalEnergies Pursues Growth in Electricity by Launching Six New
Battery Storage Projects
* TotalEnergies is launching 221 MW of new battery energy storage systems
developed by Kyon Energy in Germany, where the Company already has 100 MW
under construction.
* Most of these batteries will be supplied by Saft, TotalEnergies’ affiliate
specialized in advanced battery technology, particularly in renewables.
* TotalEnergies’ German project pipeline amounts to 13 GW(1 )of renewables and
2 GW of battery capacity, contributing to its strategy to develop an
integrated portfolio.
On the occasion of Patrick Pouyanné’s participation in the Europe 2025
conference in Berlin, and in connection with the Company’s integrated
development in the country’s electricity sector, TotalEnergies is announcing
investment decisions for six battery storage projects. In total, these
projects amount to 221 MW of new storage capacity and an investment outlay of
€160 million.
These projects were developed by Kyon Energy

, a TotalEnergies affiliate acquired in 2024, and most will use
next-generation batteries supplied by Saft, a TotalEnergies affiliate and
leader in advanced battery technology. Construction began at the end of 2024,
and commissioning is planned for early 2026.
The launch of these projects marks a major milestone in TotalEnergies’
development of battery energy storage capacity in Germany, where the Company
has operations in the production, trading, aggregation and commercialization
of clean firm power. This storage capacity will allow TotalEnergies to
contribute to the resilience of the German power system, by reducing
congestion and adding flexibility in order to quickly boost the country’s
renewables sector.
TotalEnergies expands its integrated power operations in Germany
These batteries round out TotalEnergies’ German electricity portfolio, which
consists of:
* 7 GW(1) of onshore wind and solar in development and 200 MW(1) installed or
under construction;
* 6.5 GW net of
offshore wind

“We are delighted with this significant step forward in the development of
our integrated power activities in Germany, Europe’s largest electricity
market. The implementation and integration of all these battery projects will
allow us to supply our customers with clean firm power, contributing directly
to our targeted 12% profitability in this activity,” said Patrick Pouyanné,
Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies.
Energy storage, a key part of our integrated electricity strategy
Energy storage plays a key role in offsetting the intermittence of renewable
power. Their development is therefore necessary to enable TotalEnergies to
offer Clean Firm Power to its customers, i.e. the continuous, stable supply of
renewable electricity. Batteries also help to maximize the value of
TotalEnergies’ portfolio, especially through its trading activities. The
Company leverages the expertise of its Saft affiliate for the supply of the
best battery storage systems for its needs.
TotalEnergies and electricity
As part of its ambition to get to net zero by 2050, TotalEnergies is building
a world class cost-competitive portfolio combining renewables (solar, onshore
and offshore wind) and flexible assets (CCGT, storage) to deliver clean firm
power to its customers. By the end of 2024, TotalEnergies’ gross renewable
electricity generation installed capacity had reached 26 GW. TotalEnergies
will continue to expand this business to reach 35 GW in 2025 and more than 100
TWh of net electricity production by 2030.
