TotalEnergies and ENEOS have received final merger clearance and have completed

the joint venture agreement to develop 2 GW of onsite B2B solar projects across

through our joint venture with ENEOS. Together with our partner, we will

mobilize our know-how and expertise for more projects in the coming months

established companies that they can trust to deliver cost-effective,

carbon-reducing power solutions."

it possible to help corporate customers save energy cost and switch to green

power. In line with our long-term vision to contribute to a low carbon society,

the strong customer network of ENEOS. We believe this partnership will create
