As part of its development as an integrated power player in
Germany, TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) has signed
an agreement to acquire from its three founders the entire share
capital of Kyon Energy, one of the leading developers of battery
storage systems in the country. The consideration consists of a
EUR90 million upfront payment, plus some earn out payments linked
to the achievement of development targets.
Since its creation in 2021, Kyon Energy has developed 770 MW of
projects with very competitive connection costs of which 120 MW are
already in operation, 350 MW are under construction and 300 MW are
ready to build. In addition, Kyon Energy's portfolio includes a 2
GW pipeline of advanced-stage projects.
Thanks to the expertise of Kyon Energy's management and
employees, TotalEnergies will develop, build, and operate those
projects, mainly located in the North of Germany, as part of its
integrated power strategy. This new acquisition follows 2023
successes in the country -- including the award of a maritime
concession to develop a 3 GW offshore wind farm, the acquisition of
the renewable energy aggregator Quadra Energy and the award of a
contract to install and operate 1,100 high-power charge points for
electric vehicles -- and is further strengthening TotalEnergies
ability to offer reliable and competitive power to its German
customers.
The battery storage system will contribute to the resilience of
the German electricity system, help solving congestion problems or
providing additional flexibility to the German power grid, and
ultimately support the rapid expansion of renewable energies in
Germany
"I would like to welcome the Kyon Energy teams to TotalEnergies.
The acquisition of this company, one of the leaders in its market,
is a key element in our presence in the German electricity market,
which is the largest in Europe," said Stéphane Michel, President
Gas, Renewables & Power at TotalEnergies. "This acquisition
will enable us to accelerate the development of our Integrated
Power activities in Germany, both in production, trading,
aggregation and marketing of low-carbon electricity available 24
hours a day. It also contributes to our profitability target for
this business segment of 12% ROACE by 2028."
"This partnership with TotalEnergies represents a key moment for
Kyon Energy, as we aim to become one of Europe's leading
flexibility providers. By joining forces, we are consolidating our
position in the German electricity market, and thus making a direct
contribution to its transition to a more sustainable system", said
Adrian Kapsalis, CEO of Kyon Energy.
The acquisition remains subject to authorization by the relevant
authorities.
