TotalEnergies’ Seville solar project adds 263 MW of capacity, pushing its global renewables footprint toward a 35 GW target by end-2025.
Project supports Spain’s clean energy ambitions, helping drive the national goal of 80% renewable electricity by 2030.
Long-term PPAs and 800 new jobs demonstrate commercial and socio-economic viability of large-scale renewables.
TotalEnergies has switched on its largest solar power installation in Europe — a cluster of five solar farms in Seville, Spain — delivering a combined 263 megawatts of installed capacity. The solar fields will generate 515 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually, enough to supply over 150,000 Spanish households and avoid 245,000 tons of CO₂ emissions per year.
“This solar project is contributing to Spain’s ambition of 80% of renewables in its mix by 2030,” said Olivier Jouny, Senior Vice President Renewables at TotalEnergies.
The Seville solar complex, declared of strategic interest by the Junta de Andalucía, features 400,000 bifacial panels with trackers. It mobilized 14 companies — over half of them local — and created 800 direct and indirect jobs, offering a significant economic lift to the region.
The project underscores TotalEnergies’ dual-track energy strategy: investing in renewables while maintaining flexible gas-fired capacity. With 28 GW of installed renewable capacity globally, the company is on track to reach 35 GW by the end of 2025.

“With our 1,700 employees in Spain, we are building a competitive Integrated Power portfolio that combines renewables and flexible gas-fired power plants to deliver clean firm power to our customers,” Jouny added. “We are proud to be the 4th largest provider of electricity, gas, and related services in Spain, where we have more than 2 million residential and professional customers.”
Most of the electricity from the Seville project will be sold through long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs), with the remainder entering the wholesale market — a model that enhances predictability for investors and buyers alike.
Amid shifting global energy narratives, TotalEnergies’ continued investment in renewables signals a long-term bet on clean, scalable power — and a model for balancing growth, profitability, and climate alignment.
