TotalEnergies Launches its Largest Solar Plant in Europe

TotalEnergies has launched its largest solar installation in Europe – five solar farms in Seville, Spain, with a total capacity of 263 MW. The solar farms will generate 515 GWh of electricity per year, enough to power more than 150,000 Spanish homes and avoid 245,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year.

“This solar project contributes to Spain’s goal of having 80% of its energy mix from renewable sources by 2030,” said Olivier Jouny, Total Energy’s Senior Vice President for Renewables.

Declared a project of strategic importance by the Andalusian Regional Government, the Seville Solar Complex features 400,000 bifacial solar panels with trackers. The project has mobilized 14 companies, more than half of which are local, and has created 800 direct and indirect jobs, bringing significant economic development to the region.

The project highlights Total Energy’s dual-track energy strategy: investing in renewable energy while maintaining flexible gas-fired power generation capacity. With 28 GW of installed renewable energy capacity worldwide, the company is on track to reach 35 GW by the end of 2025.

“With 1,700 employees in Spain, we are building a competitive and integrated power portfolio that combines renewable energy and flexible gas-fired power plants to provide clean and stable electricity to our customers”, added Jouny. “We are proud to be the fourth largest provider of electricity, gas and related services in Spain, with more than 4 million residential and professional customers.”

Most of the electricity from the Seville project will be sold through long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs), with the rest going to wholesale markets – a model that enhances predictability for investors and buyers.

Against the background of a changing global energy landscape, Total Energy’s continued investment in renewables demonstrates its long-term bet on clean, scalable energy, and a model that balances growth, profitability and climate alignment.
