TotalEnergies SE: First Power at Scotland’s Largest Offshore Wind Farm

 

 

TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) and its partner SSE Renewables,
has announced first power generation from the Seagreen offshore wind farm,
27km off the coast of Angus in Scotland.

The first turbine, of a total of 114, was commissioned in the early hours of
Monday morning. The aim is for the 1075 MW farm to be fully operational in the
first half of 2023. The $4.3bn Seagreen project will be Scotland’s largest
offshore wind farm and the world’s deepest fixed bottom wind farm as it is
being developed in 59 meters of water depth.

“We are delighted to announce the start of power generation from Seagreen,
our first offshore wind steps in the UK North Sea” said Vincent Stoquart,
Senior Vice President Renewables at TotalEnergies. “This marks a new step in
the development of TotalEnergies’ offshore activities capacity. This
milestone will contribute directly to our objective of reaching 35 GW of
renewable electricity capacity worldwide by 2025.”

“We often talk about key milestones along a project’s journey, and
Seagreen has had a number to date, but to see this turbine turning in the
North Sea and to have reached first power safely, is a fantastic achievement
for everyone connected to the project. The project has already brought several
benefits to the local community, the UK supply chain and, once completed,
Seagreen will make a significant contribution to Scotland and the UK’s
ambitious renewable energy targets,” said Paul Cooley, Director of Offshore
Wind, SSE Renewables.

TotalEnergies entered into an agreement with SSE Renewables to acquire a 51%
stake in the Seagreen project in June 2020. Seagreen has a capacity of 1075
megawatts (MW).

When fully operational, the site will produce around 5 terawatt hours (TWh) of
renewable electricity per year, enough to power the equivalent of 1.6 million
households.

TotalEnergies and offshore wind in the UK

Over the past two years TotalEnergies has increased its presence in the UK
market, the world leader in offshore wind. In 2020 after taking a majority
stake in Seagreen, TotalEnergies entered the Erebus (96 MW) and Valorous (300
MW) floating offshore windfarm projects in Wales. In February 2021,
TotalEnergies and consortium partner Corio Generation won rights to develop a
1.5 GW offshore wind farm off the coast of Lincolnshire (Outer Dowsing).
Finally, in January 2022, TotalEnergies, with Corio Generation and RIDG,
secured leasing rights to develop the West of Orkney Windfarm, a 2 GW offshore
windfarm in Scotland (Scotwind).
