TotalEnergies commenced commercial operations at Danish Fields and Cottonwood, two large-scale solar farms with integrated battery storage in southeast Texas. These projects, with a combined capacity of 1.2 GW, are part of TotalEnergies’ 4 GW renewable portfolio, either operational or under construction in Texas.
Danish Fields, the company’s largest U.S. solar farm, boasts a capacity of 720 MWp and includes 1.4 million ground-mounted solar panels.
70 percent Danish Fields’ capacity has been secured through long-term Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (CPPAs) with companies like Saint-Gobain, featuring a revenue-sharing mechanism tied to market prices. Cottonwood, with a capacity of 455 MWp and over 847,000 solar panels, also includes a 225 MWh battery storage system provided by Saft, scheduled for commissioning in 2025. Its electricity output is contracted under long-term PPAs with LyondellBasell and Saint-Gobain, helping them meet their decarbonization goals through an upside-sharing mechanism tied to market prices.
“The start-ups of Danish Fields and Cottonwood in the fast-growing ERCOT market showcase TotalEnergies’ ability to deliver competitive renewable electricity to support our clients’ decarbonization goals, as well as our own. Thanks to these projects, we are delighted to take another step in delivering our strategy across the entire value chain, from power generation to customer delivery, in order to achieve our profitability target of 12% ROACE in our Integrated Power business”, said Olivier Jouny, Senior Vice President, Renewables at TotalEnergies.
