Feb 23 (LNGJ) - French LNG sector players, TotalEnergies and Air Liquide, have signed Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (CPPA) with South African energy group Sasol for the supply of 260 megawatts capacity of renewable electricity over 20 years amid continuing power cuts in South Africa.
TotalEnergies will develop a 120 MW solar plant and a 140 MW windfarm in the Western Cape province to supply around 850 GWh of green electricity per year to the Sasol’s Secunda site, located 700 kilometers further North-East, where Air Liquide operates the biggest oxygen production site in the world. “Power generation in South Africa is still 80 percent based on coal and power cuts occur daily. With these developments we are proud to support Air Liquide and Sasol for their supply of green electricity,” stated Vincent Stoquart, Senior Vice President for Renewables at TotalEnergies.
