Australia?/ Financial Close for a 250 MW solar farm?

ENGIE has reached Financial Close for the Goorambat East Solar Farm project in northern Victoria. The project involves the construction, commissioning and operation of a 250 MW solar farm. Once completed, the solar farm could generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of 105,000 average Victorian homes, helping to bolster energy security in the state. This project will create approximately 250 new jobs during the construction phase and a community benefit fund designed to deliver long-term benefits to Goorambat and surrounding communities. Commissioning is planned for 2026 and will contribute to our commitment to supply 3 GW of renewable energy in Australia by 2030.

Australia / ENGIE contributes to Coca-Cola Europacific Partners' move towards net zero

ENGIE and Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) have signed a new Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA) to meet CCEP's target of using 100% renewable electricity across its Australian operations by 1 January 2025. The 10-year agreement with ENGIE GEMS will provide CCEP with the remaining energy required to meet its RE100 commitment, an important step in the company's journey to net zero. This agreement is an excellent demonstration of cross-sector collaboration to achieve a common goal and will enable CCEP to reach its target 1 year ahead.

Spain / ENGIE supports Carrefour's energy transition and its renewable energy target.

ENGIE and Carrefour have signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), reinforcing Carrefour's consumption of electricity from renewable sources. The energy supply will come from 4 ENGIE assets (2 wind farms and 2 solar farms), representing around 180 GWh/year. This contract will contribute to achieving the objectives set out in Carrefour's 2026 strategic plan, and will reinforce ENGIE's leading position in the PPA market. With sales of 2.4 GW of green electricity to industry and large energy consumers in 2023, ENGIE became the largest developer of renewable projects aimed at businesses.

Brazil / ENGIE's largest wind farm begins operations

The ENGIE Brasil Energia’s Serra do Assuruá Wind Complex, state of Bahia, is now operating commercially. The first 15 generator units began commercial operations. This initial commercial activity represents 8% of the total installed capacity. The Serra Assuruá Complex is to comprise 24 wind farms, with 188 wind turbines and a total installed capacity of 846 MW when complete. This is the fourth wind complex in the state of Bahia where ENGIE is already surpassing a combined 1 GW of installed power. The beginning of commercial operations ahead of schedule at Serra do Assuruá is a milestone in the implementation of one of the largest wind energy projects ever constructed in a single phase by the ENGIE Group in Brazil and the world. Commissioning is expected before the end of 2025.

South Africa /? ENGIE Commences Construction on Grootspruit PV Power Plant

ENGIE announced the groundbreaking of the Grootspruit solar PV power plant in the Free State. The plant, set to operate at a 75 MW contracted capacity, will be built and operated in partnership with Pele Green Energy. Grootspruit is one of two PV power plants under construction in South Africa. The other plant, the Graspan solar PV plant, will be located in the Northern Cape. Both plants are expected to be commissioned by the end of 2025, each contributing?75 MW to strengthening the South African electricity grid. Together, the Grootspruit and Graspan plants are expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in South Africa by 100,000 tons of CO2 per year, contributing to the electricity needs of approximately 80,000 South African households.

France /? Successful GOCO2 Calls For Expressions of Interest to decarbonise industry

As part of their commitment to the energy transition, Elengy and GRTgaz launched their call for expressions of interest with a view to developing, respectively, a CO2 transmission network and a CO2 liquefaction and export terminal at the Montoir-de-Bretagne LNG terminal. Three historical CO2 emitters, partners in the GOCO2 project, and two new industrial companies, future users of this CO2, have committed to the development of GOCO2 by 2030. These results confirm industry's need for a CO2 transport, liquefaction and export infrastructure in the Greater West of France.?Building on this success, GRTgaz and Elengy have announced the launch of their feasibility studies.
