Context and Environment

•    The energy transition is partly based on the electrification of energy uses, which requires a massive increase in the supply of green electrons. TotalEnergies is deploying its goal to rank among the top five global producers of solar- and wind-generated electricity by 2030 across the entire renewable electricity value chain (production, storage, trading and sales). The goal is to reach 35 GW of gross capacity for renewable power in 2025, then 100 GW in 2030

•    REN Business Unit:

o    Total Renewables Business Unit is at the spearhead of the Company’s multi-energy and durable strategy

o    It covers the development, construction, O&M, asset management and financing of renewable projects: large and small scale (distributed generation) solar, onshore and offshore wind, off-grid energy, storage

o    Its strategic objective is to accumulate 35 GW by 2025, 100 GW of operational renewables by 2030 (end of April 2023 baseline: 18,2 GW), and become a worldwide leader, safe and innovative, in renewable energies

o    Given this ambitious growth agenda, the rapid pace of operations, and the regular changes, agility and fast learning are imperatives: 

?    To deliver the objectives of top management

?    To continue capturing market opportunities

?    To hone our innovation capacities 

?    While industrializing processes and streamlining our organization

•    Projects Division:

o    The Projects Division is central in REN’s onshore value chain and its growth and leadership strategy towards quality 100 GW

o    As part of REN's new organization, the Projects division is dedicated to:

?    Managing projects in the development phase, while contributing upstream to the maturation of opportunities harnessed by the Business Developers.

?    Overseeing the execution of post-NTP projects, both during construction and commissioning, and for supporting the handover to the Asset & Countries Division for the operation phase

Purpose
