Regulatory News:
Total (Paris:FP) (LSE:TTA) (NYSE:TOT), through its affiliate
Total Quadran, one of the leading renewables players in France,
announces the commissioning of the solarization project at
L'Oréal's Vichy production plant. The project consists of
photovoltaic parking lot awnings and charge points for electric
vehicles.
The renewable electricity produced will cover 33% of the plant's
energy needs, from almost 4,000 solar panels across a surface area
of 9,500 m(2) with total power of 1.5 MWp (Megawatts peak).
Total will also conduct an R&D project on this site, with
the aim of analyzing the performance of the bifacial photovoltaic
modules on the awnings.
"We are proud to accompany innovative industrial players like
L'Oréal in their energy transition, by solarizing their production
sites both in France and abroad," stated Thierry Muller, General
Manager of Total Quadran. "With our range of green electricity
solutions, from site solarization to major green power purchasing
agreements, we want to be a partner of choice for businesses as
they reduce their carbon footprints."
"We have been committed to the protection of the environment
since we set the plant up fifty years ago, and we are delighted to
pursue our L'Oréal for the Future drive alongside Total Quadran, in
line with our sustainable development commitments. The opening of
this photovoltaic power plant will allow the Vichy plant, which has
been carbon neutral since 2018, to meet over 30% of its electricity
needs locally," announced Jean-Yves Larraufie, Director of
Cosmétique Active Production (CAP) L'Oréal.
Total, renewables and electricity
As part of its ambition to get to net zero by 2050, Total is
building a portfolio of activities in renewables and electricity
that should account for up to 40 % of its sales by 2050. At the end
of 2020, Total's gross power generation capacity worldwide was
around 12 GW, including 7 GW of renewable energy. Total will
continue to expand this business to reach 100 GW of gross
production capacity from renewable sources by 2030 with the
objective of being among the world's top 5 in renewable
energies.
