TotalEnergies has inaugurated its largest solar power project in Europe, a 263-megawatt cluster of five solar installations near Seville, Spain, the French energy company said on Thursday.

The facility is expected to generate 515 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually, enough to power more than 150,000 Spanish households, and prevent 245,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year.

Most of the electricity will be sold through long-term power purchase agreements, with the remainder going to the wholesale market.

The project, declared of strategic interest by the regional government of Andalusia, includes 400,000 bifacial solar panels installed with trackers.

The construction involved 14 companies — more than half of them local to Seville — and created 800 direct and indirect jobs.

Boost to Spanish Renewable Ambitions

“We warmly thank the Spanish authorities at both the regional and national levels for supporting this solar project that is contributing to Spain’s ambition of 80 percent renewables in its mix by 2030,” said Olivier Jouny, senior vice president renewables at TotalEnergies.

TotalEnergies employs 1,700 people in Spain and says it is building a competitive integrated power portfolio combining renewables with flexible gas-fired power plants.

The company is currently the fourth-largest provider of electricity, gas, and related services in Spain, with more than 2 million residential and professional customers.

Integrated Power Strategy

The Seville project underscores TotalEnergies’ broader strategy of developing a balanced power generation portfolio that includes solar, wind, combined-cycle gas turbines and storage assets.

As of the end of March 2025, the company reported 28 GW of installed gross renewable capacity and aims to increase this to 35 GW by year-end. It targets more than 100 terawatt-hours of net electricity production annually by 2030.

TotalEnergies is a global multi-energy company active in more than 120 countries.

It produces and markets energy including oil, natural gas, biofuels, hydrogen, renewables, and electricity, with a focus on reliability, affordability and sustainability.
