435 MW Clean Energy Boost: Acquisition includes 350 MW of solar and 85 MW of battery projects, expected to power 100,000 UK homes by 2028.
Strategic UK Expansion: Strengthens TotalEnergies’ integrated electricity portfolio alongside offshore wind, CCGT, and solar assets.
Accelerates UK’s Clean Power 2030 Goal: Positions both firms as key contributors to national renewable energy targets.
TotalEnergies has acquired a major renewable energy pipeline in the UK—comprising 8 solar projects (350 MW) and 2 battery storage assets (85 MW)—from Low Carbon, a leading renewable developer. The projects, located in the south of England, are expected to be operational by 2028 and will generate over 350 GWh annually, equivalent to the power needs of approximately 100,000 UK households.
“We are very pleased with the acquisition of this pipeline from the renewable developer Low Carbon,” said Olivier Jouny, SVP Renewables at TotalEnergies. “The acquisition of these solar and battery projects… will complement our integrated electricity portfolio in the UK, which includes 1.1 GW of gross installed offshore wind, 1.3 GW of gross combined cycle gas turbine, and more than 600 MW of solar projects under development.”
This strategic move strengthens TotalEnergies’ commitment to growing its low-carbon portfolio and expands its UK footprint in renewable generation, aligning with long-term decarbonization goals.

“We are very pleased to have finalised this agreement with TotalEnergies, who are making an impressive commitment to building renewable infrastructure,” said Roy Bedlow, Chief Executive and Founder of Low Carbon. “Once built, these projects will make a vital contribution to the Government’s Clean Power 2030 ambition and reinforce Low Carbon’s track record… as we continue to scale as an independent power producer.”
The deal not only accelerates TotalEnergies’ transition to clean energy but also affirms investor confidence in scalable, ready-to-build renewable assets as the UK energy market evolves.
