Germany

PARIS, March 26, 2025 – TotalEnergies will invest EUR 160 million in six new battery storage projects in Germany totalling 221 MW of capacity, the company said on Wednesday.

The projects were developed by Kyon Energy, a TotalEnergies affiliate acquired in 2024, and will mostly utilise next-generation batteries supplied by Saft, TotalEnergies’ battery technology affiliate. Construction started in late 2024 with commissioning scheduled for early 2026.

“We are delighted with this significant step forward in the development of our integrated power activities in Germany, Europe’s largest electricity market. The implementation and integration of all these battery projects will allow us to supply our customers with clean firm power, contributing directly to our targeted 12% profitability in this activity,” TotalEnergies chairman and CEO Patrick Pouyanné said.

The company’s German portfolio now includes 7 GW of onshore wind and solar in development and 200 MW installed or under construction, alongside 6.5 GW of offshore wind capacity under development. It also holds 2 GW of storage capacity in development and 321 MW under construction, plus 9 GW of electricity aggregation capacity managed by Quadra Energy.

TotalEnergies additionally operates 6,900 charging points across Germany, including 1,100 high-power units, reinforcing its presence in the country’s electricity sector.
