United States: TotalEnergies Will Supply LyondellBasell Through Two Long-Term
Solar CPPAs

 

After a first renewable Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA) signed at
the end of 2022, TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) has signed a
second contract with LyondellBasell, a global leader in the chemical industry,
to supply a combined 275 MWac (358 MW) of green electricity sourced from its
utility-scale Cottonwood Bayou and Brazoria Solar farms in Texas:


 * Through the newly signed 15-year CPPA, LyondellBasell will offtake 125 MWac
(163 MW) from TotalEnergies’ Brazoria Solar farm, located southwest of
Houston, with a capacity of 325 MW and a commercial start-up planned for end
of 2025.


 * Through the 12-year CPPA signed in 2022, LyondellBasell will offtake 150 MWac
(195 MW) from TotalEnergies’ Cottonwood Bayou Solar plant, a project located
south of Houston, with a capacity of 455 MW and a commercial start-up planned
for end of 2024.

The two CPPAs are indexed on merchant prices through an upside-sharing
mechanism, under which the companies share any potential upside arising from
increased market price over the contract term. They follow other CPPAs
TotalEnergies signed with Amazon and Saint-Gobain in the U.S., demonstrating
its ability to provide competitive renewable electricity to support these
industry leaders’ decarbonization goals.

“TotalEnergies is proud to support LyondellBasell on its climate goals. The
signing of these new upside sharing CPPAs in the United States is consistent
with our strategy to take merchant exposure and will contribute to the
objective of profitable growth for our Integrated Power business”, said
Vincent Stoquart, Senior Vice President, Renewables at TotalEnergies.

“We are taking decisive steps to reduce our scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas
emissions and power purchase agreements are a critical lever towards meeting
our targets”, said Chris Cain, LyondellBasell Senior Vice President for Net
Zero Transition Strategy. “These agreements with TotalEnergies help us
accelerate the development of clean energy and shift to use low carbon energy
at our sites.”
