TotalEnergies to buy renewables developer VSB for $1.65 billion

Green Forum
TotalEnergies announced its agreement to purchase VSB Group, a German renewable energy developer, for €1.57 billion from Swiss asset manager Partners Group, further strengthening its presence in a key market.

VSB is a renewable leader in Europe with nearly 30 years of experience. Thanks to its 500 employees, VSB has built a recognized expertise and notable track record in the development of onshore wind power farms across Europe (more than 2 GW of developed capacity). VSB has over 475 MW of renewable capacity in operation or under construction mainly in Germany and France, and a pipeline of 18 GW of wind, solar and battery storage technologies mainly across Germany, Poland and France.

This transaction will strengthen TotalEnergies Integrated Power value chain in Germany, which represents half of VSB's portfolio. This complements the recent acquisitions of battery storage developer Kyon Energy and energy manager Quadra Energy, as well as TotalEnergies' major offshore wind positions in northern Germany. In addition, this transaction will reinforce TotalEnergies' top 3 position in renewable power in France.

The completion of the transaction remains subject to the approval of applicable merger control authorities.

The portfolio consists of three solar projects with a total capacity of 1.7 GW, and two battery storage projects with a capacity of 300 MW. Following this transaction subject to certain conditions precedent, TotalEnergies will retain a 50% stake and remain the operator of the assets, which are Danish Fields, Cottonwood, and Hill Solar I. The electricity production of these projects has either already been sold to third parties or will be commercialized by TotalEnergies.
