TotalEnergies and ENEOS have received final merger clearance and have completed the joint venture agreement to develop 2 GW of onsite B2B solar projects across Asia over the next five years.

Plans for the joint venture were first announced on April 13, 2022, and the final agreement was completed on June 24, 2022.

The new joint venture will be called TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Distributed Generation Asia Pte. Ltd.

Together with our partner, we will mobilize our know-how and expertise for more projects in the coming months which puts us firmly on track to achieve the goal of 2 GW within the next 5 years,” said Gavin Adda, Head of TotalEnergies Renewables Distributed Generation Asia. “We increasingly see B2B customers preferring to rely on established companies that they can trust to deliver cost-effective, carbon-reducing power solutions.”

“We are proud to work with TotalEnergies on this joint venture, which will make it possible to help corporate customers save energy cost and switch to green power. In line with our long-term vision to contribute to a low carbon society, we will be able to accelerate our renewable energy business while leveraging the strong customer network of ENEOS. We believe this partnership will create greater and more sustainable value for Asian market with the growing number of companies transforming their business to be more environment-friendly,” said Kenichiro Kesamaru, General Manager, Company Planning & Management Department, Resources & Power Company, ENEOS Corporation.
