TotalEnergies & Petronas Join to Develop 100-MW Solar Plant

• French energy group TotalEnergies SE and Petronas have signed an agreement to develop a 100-MW solar project in Queensland, Australia. The Pleasant Hills project will reduce emissions of the Gladstone LNG plant, in which both companies are minority shareholders. This marks the first implementation of the strategic collaboration agreement in the APAC region.

French energy group TotalEnergies SE and Malaysian state-owned oil and gas company Petronas have signed an agreement to jointly develop a 100-MW solar project in northeastern Australia. The Pleasant Hills solar project, located in Queensland, will supply low-carbon electricity to the Roma field’s gas production and processing facilities. It will contribute to reducing emissions of the Gladstone LNG plant, in which both TotalEnergies and Petronas are minority shareholders. This marks the first implementation of the strategic collaboration agreement between the two firms to develop renewable energy projects in the Asia-Pacific region.

How Will TotalEnergies & Petronas Jointly Develop a 100 MW Solar Project?
