TotalEnergies Launches Six New Battery Storage Projects in Germany

TotalEnergies SE TTE announced that it would be investing in six battery storage projects. The projects are expected to have a storage capacity of 221 megawatts (MW) and an investment outlay of $172.5 million (€160 million). These will be developed by Kyon Energy, a TotalEnergies affiliate acquired in 2024.Most of the projects will use next-generation batteries supplied by Saft, a TotalEnergies affiliate and leader in advanced battery technology. Construction has already begun toward the end of 2024, and commissioning is planned for early 2026.TTE Expands Its Operations in GermanyThe initiation of these projects represents a significant turning point in the company's expansion of battery energy storage capacity, where TTE operates the generation, trading, aggregation and commercialization of clean firm power. By reducing congestion and increasing flexibility, this storage capacity will enable TotalEnergies to enhance the resilience of the German power system and accelerate the nation's renewable energy expansion.These batteries complete the German power portfolio of TotalEnergies, which includes 200 MW1 installed or under construction, 7 gigawatts (GW) of onshore wind and solar in development, 6.5 GW net of offshore wind in development, 2 GW of storage capacity in development, and 321 MW under construction. It also includes 9 GW of electricity aggregation capacity managed by Quadra Energy and 6,900 developed and operated charge points, including 1,100 with high-power charging.TotalEnergies' Focus on Clean Energy GenerationTo reach net zero by 2050, TTE is developing a world-class, cost-competitive portfolio that combines flexible assets like combined-cycle gas turbines and storage with renewable energy sources like solar, onshore and offshore wind. The idea is to provide clean, reliable electricity to its customers.By the end of 2024, TotalEnergies’ gross renewable electricity generation installed capacity was 26 GW. With further growth, the company plans to produce 35 GW of power by 2025 and more than 100 terawatt-hours of net electricity by 2030.Other Companies’ Focus on Battery Storage ProjectsThe market for energy storage has a competitive advantage due to the quickly growing use of clean energy. To meet their clean energy targets, countries worldwide are expanding their energy storage capacity.
