Renewables: TotalEnergies Divests its distributed
(LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) TotalEnergies announced that it has completed the divestment of all its distributed solar assets (around 170 MW), mainly rooftop installations, across 7 European countries to Amarenco and AMPYR Distributed Energy. The divested assets are located in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, the United Kingdom, and Luxembourg. The company installed 8 GW of gross renewable capacity in the last twelve months, reaching 35 GW of gross capacity at end-March 2026. By the end of April 2026, TotalEnergies holds nearly 36 GW of gross renewable power generation capacity. TotalEnergies aims to maintain this annual pace through to 2030 to reach more than 75 GW and aims to achieve over 100 TWh of net electricity production by 2030. The company states that this divestment will have no impact on its pace of development in renewables.
TotalEnergies Ships First LNG Cargo From Mexican Pacific Coast to Asia
'TotalEnergies will be the sole offtaker of LNG during the ramp-up phase'.
Mexico: TotalEnergies Ships to Asia the Very
(LSE:TTE, NYSE:TTE) TotalEnergies has shipped to Asia the very first cargo from ECA LNG Phase 1, a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal currently under commissioning on Mexico’s Pacific Coast, in Baja California. TotalEnergies holds a 16.6% stake in the project alongside operator Sempra Infrastructure and will offtake 1.7 million tonnes per year (Mtpa) of LNG for 20 years from the start of commercial operations. ECA LNG Phase 1 consists of a single-train liquefaction facility with a nameplate LNG capacity of 3.25 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa), supplied with U.S. feed gas sourced from the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico. TotalEnergies is the world’s third largest LNG player with a global portfolio of 44 million tonnes in 2025 and access to more than 20 Mtpa of regasification capacity in Europe. The project is expected to reach substantial completion in the summer 2026, with long-term LNG sales agreements taking effect shortly thereafter as the facility enters commercial operations. TotalEnergies’ ambition is to increase the share of natural gas in its sales mix to close to 50% by 2030. A second larger phase is also under development at the same site.
Sempra Infrastructure's ECA LNG Phase 1 Exports First LNG Cargo from Mexico's Pacific Coast
(NYSE: SRE) Sempra Infrastructure, a subsidiary of Sempra, announced that the ECA LNG Phase 1 project in Ensenada, Mexico, has safely and successfully loaded and shipped its first cargo of liquefied natural gas (LNG). The ECA LNG Phase 1 consists of a single liquefaction train with nameplate capacity of 3.25 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of LNG. The project is a joint venture with TotalEnergies and is supported by long-term sale and purchase agreements with TotalEnergies and Mitsui & Co. The project is expected to reach substantial completion in the summer of 2026, with sales under long-term sale and purchase agreements commencing shortly thereafter, when the facility begins commercial operations. A second and significantly larger phase is also under active development at the same site. Sempra Infrastructure is headquartered in Houston and is focused on developing, building, operating and investing in modern energy infrastructure in North America. The ECA LNG facility is described as a cornerstone of Sempra Infrastructure's dual-coast LNG portfolio.
Synertec Selected by Amplitude Energy for Orbost Gas Plant Power Optimisation Project
(ASX: SOP) Synertec Corporation has been selected by Amplitude Energy (ASX: AEL) as the preferred proponent for a power optimisation project at the Orbost gas processing plant in Victoria’s Gippsland Basin. The project will initially see Synertec complete front-end engineering and design (FEED) for an integrated Powerhouse solar and battery solution, expected to incorporate approximately two megawatts of solar generation and five megawatt-hours of battery storage. The project has an indicative value of between $4.5 million and $5.5m, subject to Amplitude Energy reaching a final investment decision. The FEED process is expected to be completed during the first half of the 2027 financial year and will include detailed engineering, power system modelling, reliability and availability assessments, safety and regulatory work, implementation planning, and development of a Class 2 cost estimate. The work represents the first stage of a proposed three-stage development covering design, construction and commissioning, followed by long-term operations, maintenance, and performance support. Synertec will evaluate both a traditional capital sale and a build, own, operate and maintain structure during the FEED process. The company projects that the preferred structure will be determined as the technical design and commercial parameters are refined, with any subsequent construction and operational stages remaining subject to Amplitude’s final investment decision.
