TotalEnergies Shares Dip - Reportedly Explores Sale Of 50% Stake In Whopping $2.5B Renewable Portfolio

TotalEnergies SE TTE is reportedly considering selling a 50% stake in a portfolio of renewable projects across Europe and the U.S.

The French energy company is in talks with advisors to explore the possibility of selling a share in wind and solar power assets spanning the U.S., Spain, Portugal, France, and Greece, Reuters reported.

One source indicated to Reuters that the entire portfolio is valued at approximately $2.5 billion. 

The strategy is anticipated to result in a sequence of transactions, potentially involving multiple buyers, according to an insider, the report read.

On January 31, the company inked a deal with OMV AG OMVKY to acquire its 50% stake in Malaysian independent gas producer and operator SapuraOMV Upstream Sdn for $903 million.

The acquisition price includes the transfer of a $350 million loan granted by OMV to SapuraOMV, subject to customary closing adjustments.

Last week, the company and its partner Corio Generation disclosed winning a 20-year contract from the State of New Jersey to supply 1.34 GW of renewable electricity to the state.
