Spain: TotalEnergies Obtains Favorable Environmental Impact Assessment for 3
GW of Solar Projects


 * These 48 solar plants will be able to produce more than 6,000 GWh of clean
energy per year, enough to meet the annual electricity demand of nearly 4
million people.

 * These facilities will avoid the emission of approximately 50 million tons of
CO(2) into the atmosphere during their lifetime.

 

TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) has obtained from the Spanish
authorities (Ministry of Energy Transition and Autonomous Communities) a
favorable Environmental Impact Assessment for an estimated 3 GW of installed
capacity.

Large-scale solar projects throughout the country

This favorable result relates to the 48 power plants that TotalEnergies will
develop in the Madrid region (installed capacity of 1.9 GW), in the Murcia
region (more than 350 MW), in Castilla-La Mancha (more than 300 MW), in
Andalusia (263 MW) and in Aragon (approximately 150 MW). The first projects
will come on stream early 2024.

The plants will generate about 6,000 GWh of clean energy per year, enough to
meet the annual electricity demand of nearly 4 million people. They will also
avoid the emission into the atmosphere of close to 50 million tons of CO2
during their lifetime.

Socially and environmentally responsible projects

TotalEnergies will promote a series of compensatory measures, including bird
marking for behavior monitoring, renting 400 additional hectares for
conservation efforts, and utilizing 1.5% of plant production for electricity
bill discounts for local residents, while providing construction and Operation
& Maintenance training to residents in surrounding municipalities.

"With 2 million residential and business customers in Spain, our Company is
firmly committed to promoting the development of renewable energy in the
country. Obtaining this favorable environmental impact assessment is therefore
a great step forward for us,” said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of TotalEnergies. “For Spain, the development of these
solar farms will make a massive contribution to the country's energy
transition, as they will be able to power the equivalent of the population of
the entire community of Madrid. For TotalEnergies, these projects will bring
us closer to our goal of 100 GW of gross renewable installed capacity by 2030
worldwide”

TotalEnergies is proud to contribute to Spain's goal of obtaining 70% of its
electricity from renewable sources by 2030 and 100% by mid-century.
