TotalEnergies, Gentari to supply solar power to Aussie gas field facilities

TotalEnergies has entered into an agreement with Gentari Renewables, a subsidiary of Petronas, to develop a renewable energy project that will supply solar power to the Roma gas field's production and processing facilities in Queensland, Australia, it said on June 26.

The collaboration between TotalEnergies and Gentari will focus on the development of the 100 MW Pleasant Hills solar project.

The Pleasant Hills solar project is aimed at providing low-carbon electricity to the gas production and processing facilities at the Roma field. This field supplies gas to the Gladstone LNG project, in which TotalEnergies and Petronas each hold a 27.5% stake.

“The 100MW Pleasant Hills solar project, which will contribute to lowering the emissions of Gladstone LNG, is a first material implementation of this agreement,” said Julien Pouget, senior vice president of Asia Pacific for exploration & production and renewables at TotalEnergies.

Sushil Purohit, CEO of Gentari, said that the collaboration with TotalEnergies will accelerate their net-zero efforts and contribute to the growth of clean energy and net-zero solutions.
