TotalEnergies Wins Two Maritime Leases to Develop two Giga Offshore Wind Farms
in Germany

 

TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) has been awarded by the
Bundesnetzagentur (German Federal Network Agency) two marine concessions,
N-12.1 and O-2.2, at the end of the auction held in Germany.

Located in the North Sea, 170 kilometers off the coast, concession N-12.1
covers an area of around 200 square kilometers. Located in the Baltic Sea 40
kilometers from the coast, concession O-2.2 has a surface area of around 100
square kilometers.

Green electricity for over 3 million households

The concessions will run for a term of 25 years, extendable to 35 years. With
capacities of 2 GW and 1 GW respectively, these two wind farms will provide a
volume of electricity equivalent to the consumption of over 3,000,000 homes.
Following these awards, TotalEnergies will pay the German Federal government
582 million euros, which will be allocated to the conservation of the marine
environment and the promotion of environmentally friendly fishing. An annual
contribution will also be paid to the electricity transmission system
operators in charge of connecting the projects for 20 years from commissioning
of the sites.

The production generated by these sites will be marketed by TotalEnergies,
either by selling it directly on the electricity market, or by entering into
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with end-buyers, enabling them to reduce
their carbon footprint. These projects, which are cost-competitive given the
quality of the sites, are in line with the Company's strategy of becoming an
integrated player in the electricity markets, taking advantage of price
volatility. They will contribute to the Integrated Power Business Unit’s
objective of reaching a two-digit profitability.

Commissioning by 2030

These major projects are in line with the German government's objective of
deploying 30 GW of offshore wind power in Germany by 2030. The next step for
TotalEnergies will be to carry out the studies required to obtain the
environmental permits, as well as the technical analyses on these sites,
leading to investment decisions in 2027 and commissioning by 2030.

“TotalEnergies is proud to leverage its expertise in offshore and
large-scale projects to build these giant wind farms, which will make a
significant contribution to the development of renewable electricity in Europe
by 2030. Our entry into offshore wind power in Germany, Europe's largest
electricity market, is a key step in the implementation of our strategy to
become an integrated profitable player in the electricity markets. After the
commissioning of a floating LNG regasification unit at the Lubmin terminal in
January 2023, this is a further commitment by TotalEnergies to deploy our
multi-energy strategy in Germany and contribute to the country's and Europe's
energy security.,” said Patrick Pouyanné, chairman and CEO of
TotalEnergies.

project), France (Eolmed project), the United States (New York Bight project,
North Carolina project) and Germany. The Company has also been qualified to

was 18 GW. TotalEnergies will continue to expand this business to reach 35 GW
of gross production capacity from renewable sources and storage by 2025, and
