Total Solarizes L’Oréal’s First Industrial Site in France

 

Total (Paris:FP) (LSE:TTA) (NYSE:TOT), through its affiliate Total Quadran,
one of the leading renewables players in France, announces the commissioning
of the solarization project at L’Oréal’s Vichy production plant. The
project consists of photovoltaic parking lot awnings and charge points for
electric vehicles.

The renewable electricity produced will cover 33% of the plant’s energy
needs, from almost 4,000 solar panels across a surface area of 9,500 m² with
total power of 1.5 MWp (Megawatts peak).

Total will also conduct an R&D project on this site, with the aim of
analyzing the performance of the bifacial photovoltaic modules on the awnings.

"We are proud to accompany innovative industrial players like L’Oréal in
their energy transition, by solarizing their production sites both in France
and abroad," stated Thierry Muller, General Manager of Total Quadran. "With
our range of green electricity solutions, from site solarization to major
green power purchasing agreements, we want to be a partner of choice for
businesses as they reduce their carbon footprints."

"We have been committed to the protection of the environment since we set the
plant up fifty years ago, and we are delighted to pursue our L’Oréal for
the Future drive alongside Total Quadran, in line with our sustainable
development commitments. The opening of this photovoltaic power plant will
allow the Vichy plant, which has been carbon neutral since 2018, to meet over
30% of its electricity needs locally," announced Jean-Yves Larraufie, Director
of Cosmétique Active Production (CAP) L’Oréal.

Total, renewables and electricity

As part of its ambition to get to net zero by 2050, Total is building a
portfolio of activities in renewables and electricity that should account for
up to 40 % of its sales by 2050. At the end of 2020, Total's gross power
generation capacity worldwide was around 12 GW, including 7 GW of renewable
energy. Total will continue to expand this business to reach 100 GW of gross
production capacity from renewable sources by 2030 with the objective of being
among the world's top 5 in renewable energies.
