TotalEnergies has commissioned a cluster of five solar power plants in Seville, Spain, marking the French energy group’s largest solar project in Europe to date, the company said on Thursday.
The combined capacity of the sites reaches 263 megawatts (MW), generating approximately 515 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity annually—enough to supply about 150,000 households. The project supports Spain’s target of sourcing 80% of its electricity from renewable energy by 2030.
The Seville installation reinforces TotalEnergies’ position as Spain’s fourth-largest supplier of electricity and gas. “This project supports the country’s energy transition and strengthens our position in Spain,” said Olivier Jouny, the company’s senior vice president of renewables.
Most of the electricity produced will be delivered through long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs), with the remaining volume to be sold on the wholesale electricity market. The regional government of Andalusia declared the project to be of strategic interest. It created around 800 direct and indirect jobs during development.
The commissioning comes amid a broader energy sector pivot. While some companies have scaled back renewable investments in favor of higher-margin fossil fuels, TotalEnergies has maintained a dual-track strategy. The company reported 28 GW of gross installed renewable capacity globally and aims to reach 35 GW by the end of 2025.
