TotalEnergies invests in six new battery projects in Germany

TotalEnergies is expanding its presence in the German electricity market with the launch of six new battery storage projects with a total capacity of 221 MW.

The projects represent a total investment of 160 million euros and are expected to be commissioned in early 2026, TotalEnergies said.

The battery plants have been developed by Kyon Energy, which TotalEnergies acquired in 2024, and most will be supplied by Saft – the company's subsidiary specializing in advanced battery technology for renewable energy sources, among other things.

According to TotalEnergies, the investments are an important step in the company's strategy to build an integrated and flexible electricity business in Germany, Europe's largest electricity market.

The batteries will be used, among other things, to support the integration of renewable energy by delivering stable and flexible power that can mitigate the fluctuations that come with solar and wind production.

With the new projects, TotalEnergies has a total of 321 MW of battery capacity under construction in Germany.

At the same time, the company is working to develop an additional 2 GW of battery storage and 13 GW of renewable energy, of which 6.5 GW of offshore wind.

- The implementation of these battery projects mark a significant step forward in our integrated electricity strategy. They will enable us to deliver clean, stable power to our customers while achieving the desired profitability of 12 percent in this business,” said Patrick Pouyanné, CEO of TotalEnergies.
