| Work Detail |
TotalEnergies has signed an agreement with RWE to acquire a 50% stake in OranjeWind, a 795 MW offshore wind farm under development in the Netherlands. TotalEnergies will dedicate its share of the renewable electricity production from this project to power 350 MW electrolyser projects.
These will produce about 40,000 tonnes per year of green hydrogen for the decarbonisation of TotalEnergies’ refineries in Northern Europe. Located in the North Sea, about 53 km off the Dutch coast, the OranjeWind project was won by RWE in 2022 as part of the Dutch Hollandse Kust West VII tender. RWE then committed to developing electrolysers, to which TotalEnergies will now also contribute. In addition to producing green power and hydrogen, OranjeWind will also support the stability of the Dutch grid with its electric boilers and battery storage. Construction of the wind farm is scheduled to start in 2026, with full commissioning expected in early 2028. |
