TotalEnergies plans a significant investment in Germany. The company will invest €160m. This equates to $172.8m. The funds will go to six new battery storage projects. These projects will total 221MW of capacity.

TotalEnergies affiliate Kyon Energy developed the projects. Most projects will use next-generation batteries. These batteries come from Saft. Saft is another TotalEnergies affiliate.

Construction began at the end of 2024. Commissioning is scheduled for early 2026. This development is a key step. It supports TotalEnergies’ efforts. The efforts aim to enhance the flexibility of Germany’s power system. The new storage capacity will help reduce congestion. It will provide necessary flexibility. This flexibility will support the rapid expansion. The expansion involves Germany’s renewable energy sector.

TotalEnergies chairman and CEO Patrick Pouyanné made a statement. “We are delighted with this significant step forward,” he said. This step is in the development of their integrated power activities in Germany. Germany is Europe’s largest electricity market. “The implementation and integration of all these battery projects will allow us to supply our customers with clean firm power. This contributes directly to our targeted 12% profitability in this activity.”

TotalEnergies’ German project pipeline is substantial. It contains 13GW of renewables. This includes 7GW of onshore wind and solar. It also includes 6.5GW of offshore wind. In addition, there is 2GW of battery capacity.

In July 2024, the company launched a battery storage project. It had a capacity of 100MW/200 megawatt hours (MWh). The location was Dahlem. Dahlem is in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The investment exceeded €75m. This was the first approved project. It came from Kyon Energy’s pipeline since its acquisition.

In March 2025, TotalEnergies and its partners commissioned a wind farm. This was the 640MW Yunlin offshore wind farm in Taiwan. It sits 15km from Taiwan’s western coast. The water depths reach down to 35m. The project includes 80 wind turbines. Each turbine has a capacity of 8MW.

TotalEnergies’ investment in these German battery storage projects underscores its commitment. The commitment is to renewable energy and grid stability. The projects will play a crucial role. They will support Germany’s energy transition. They will also enhance the reliability of the power supply. The use of advanced battery technology from Saft highlights TotalEnergies’ integrated approach. They are leveraging their various affiliates. This aims to create a comprehensive energy solution. The scale of the investment demonstrates TotalEnergies’ confidence. They have confidence in the German market. They also believe in the future of battery storage. This move positions TotalEnergies as a key player. They are a key player in Germany’s evolving energy landscape. The focus on grid flexibility addresses a critical need. It supports the increasing penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources.
