TotalEnergies has started commercial operations of Danish Fields and Cottonwood, two utility-scale solar farms with integrated battery storage located in southeast Texas, USA. These new projects, with a combined capacity of 1.2 GW, are part of a portfolio of renewable assets, totalling 4 GW in operation or under construction in Texas.

Danish Fields is TotalEnergies’ largest solar farm in the United States, with a capacity of 720 MWp and 1.4 million ground-mounted photovoltaic panels. Danish Fields also features a 225 MWh battery storage system supplied by Saft, the battery subsidiary of TotalEnergies.

Olivier Jouny, senior vice president of renewables at TotalEnergies says: ‘The start-ups of Danish Fields and Cottonwood in the fast-growing Ercot market showcase TotalEnergies’ ability to deliver competitive renewable electricity to support our clients’ decarbonisation goals, as well as our own. Thanks to these projects, we are delighted to take another step in delivering our strategy across the entire value chain, from power generation to customer delivery, in order to achieve our profitability target of 12% Roace in our integrated power business.’
