Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--TotalEnergies SE (NYSE:TTE) (Courbevoie, France) plans to straddle both sides of the energy divide in 2025, with major renewable developments standing alongside liquefied natural gas (LNG) buildouts in its near-term portfolio. Industrial Info is tracking more than US$13 billion worth of active and proposed projects across the U.S. from TotalEnergies, most of which are for renewable-energy developments, as well as more than $11 billion worth of the company's LNG projects worldwide.
Solar installations lead windfarms among U.S.-based renewable-energy projects from TotalEnergies deemed more likely to begin construction as planned, according to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Project Database, as many big-ticket offshore-wind projects have been indefinitely delayed amid recent pushback from Washington. Most of these projects are found in Texas, such as the Piedra Solar Farm in Mexia, about 80 miles south of Dallas.
The Piedra project comprises a $450 million solar plant, which is designed to generate 300 megawatts (MW) from 648,936 Series 6 photovoltaic (PV) panels provided by First Solar Incorporated (NASDAQ:FSLR) (Tempe, Arizona), and a 101.5-MW, $125 million battery energy-storage system (BESS) fueled by batteries from Tesla Incorporated (NASDAQ:TSLA) (Austin, Texas).
Both components of Piedra could begin construction as early as the third quarter of this year. Subscribers to Industrial Info's GMI Project Database can read detailed reports on the solar plant and BESS unit.
The outlook for renewable energy in the U.S. became less certain in recent months, following the re-election of President Donald Trump. But TotalEnergies found a partner for its green portfolio in investment firm Apollo Global Management (NYSE:APO) (New York, New York), which now holds a 50% stake in TotalEnergies' 2 gigawatts (GW) of solar and BESS units across Texas. TotalEnergies will continue to operate the assets, which include three completed windfarms: Hill Solar 1 in Itasca, Danish Fields in Bay City and Cottonwood Bayou in Liverpool.
Subscribers can read detailed plant profiles on Hill Solar 1, Danish Fields and Cottonwood Bayou.
Smaller U.S. projects under construction from TotalEnergies include an $18 million array at the Hernwood Landfill in Granite, Maryland, which is expected to generate 20 MW, and a $1.05 million array at the Cybulski Correctional Institute in Somers, Connecticut, which is expected to generate 870 kilowatts (kW). Both are slated to be completed before the end of the year. Subscribers can read detailed reports on the Hernwood and Cybulski projects.
The biggest recent news from TotalEnergies comes from overseas: The company expects the U.S. will approve long-delayed financing for a massive LNG project in Quionga, Mozambique, in which TotalEnergies holds a 26.5% operating stake. Called "Mozambique LNG," the project comprises an 18 million-metric-ton-per-year liquefaction plant, with 12 fully modularized LNG trains of equal capacity. Following a final investment decision of US$20 billion in 2019, the project was placed under force majeure in 2021 when Islamic State-linked militants took over neighboring areas.
Trump's administration has signaled it is ready to re-approve loans for the project, and Patrick Pouyanne, the chief executive officer of TotalEnergies, recently said similar approvals from export credit agencies in the U.K. and the Netherlands will follow in the coming months. The U.S. Export-Import Bank previously had agreed to a $4.7 billion loan for the project before it was frozen in 2021, according to Reuters. Other partners in the project include Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) (Spring, Texas).
Pouyanne acknowledged in the company's most recent quarterly earnings-related conference call that Mozambique LNG's completion date would not arrive until 2029 at the earliest, after a previously planned wrap in 2027.
