TotalEnergies 2026 renewable portfolio moves

Overview

In July 2026, TotalEnergies completed an €86.4 million share buy-back and sold 170 MW of rooftop solar projects to free capital for utility-scale renewables. Over the twelve months leading to March 2026, the group added 8 GW of gross renewable capacity, reaching a total of 35 GW.

In August 2026, TotalEnergies announced two linked transactions. It agreed to acquire Shell’s entire European onshore renewable portfolio—approximately 4 GW of solar and wind assets, including 500 MW of operating or under-construction projects in Italy and the Netherlands and a 3.5 GW pipeline in Italy, the United Kingdom, and Spain. Shell is exiting direct renewable investments to refocus on oil, gas, and energy-trading activities. The acquisition, supported by legal advisor Clifford Chance, is expected to close by the end of 2026 pending regulatory approval.

Simultaneously, TotalEnergies will sell a 50% stake in a 1.2 GW onshore wind and solar portfolio spanning Germany, Spain, France, and Poland to KKR for an enterprise value of €1.8 billion, while retaining operational control. Upon completion, TotalEnergies’ European onshore renewable capacity is projected to total roughly 9-10 GW installed or under construction, supported by an additional 27 GW pipeline.

As part of its broader strategic shift, Shell also completed the sale of the German residential energy storage company sonnen to investment firm Tiven, a move expected to result in a loss of several hundred million euros for Shell.
