experience. Thanks to its 500 employees, VSB has built a recognized
expertise and notable track record in the development of onshore
wind power farms across Europe (more than 2 GW of developed
capacity). VSB has over 475 MW of renewable capacity in operation
or under construction mainly in Germany and France, and a pipeline
of 18 GW of wind, solar and battery storage technologies mainly
across Germany, Poland and France.
This transaction will strengthen TotalEnergies Integrated Power
value chain in Germany, which represents half of VSB’s portfolio.
This complements the recent acquisitions of battery storage
developer Kyon Energy and energy manager Quadra Energy, as well as
TotalEnergies’ major offshore wind positions in northern Germany.
In addition, this transaction will reinforce TotalEnergies’ top 3
position in renewable power in France.
The completion of the transaction remains subject to the
approval of applicable merger control authorities.

capacity of 300 MW. Following this transaction subject to certain
conditions precedent, TotalEnergies will retain a 50% stake and
remain the operator of the assets, which are Danish Fields,
Cottonwood, and Hill Solar I. The electricity production of these
projects has either already been sold to third parties or will be
commercialized by TotalEnergies.
"In line with our strategy, these transactions will enable us to
optimize our capital allocation in renewables and contributes to
improve the profitability of our Integrated Power business. We
welcome the 500 employees of VSB Group and their leading onshore
wind expertise in European markets. Their competences and assets

in Europe, and notably in Germany”, said Stéphane Michel,
president of Gas, Renewables and Power at TotalEnergies.
“Finally, we are looking forward to joining forces with Apollo as a
partner in our renewable assets in Texas”, he added.

TotalEnergies’ Integrated Power business model
TotalEnergies is building a competitive portfolio that combines
renewables (solar, onshore wind, offshore wind) and flexible assets
(CCGT, storage) to deliver clean firm power to its customers. To
achieve its 12% profitability target for the Integrated Power
business, TotalEnergies plans to sell up to 50% of its wholly owned
renewable assets once they reach commercial operation date (COD)
and are derisked, allowing the company to maximize asset value and
manage risks. By the end of 2024, TotalEnergies’ gross renewable
electricity generation installed capacity had reached over 24 GW.
TotalEnergies will continue to expand this business to reach 35 GW
in 2025 and more than 100 TWh of net electricity production by
2030.
