French energy giant TotalEnergies (LON: TTE) has confirmed Aberdeen as the base for its UK offshore wind operations.
Patrick Pouyanné, the company’s chairman and chief executive, formally opened the supermajor’s UK Offshore Wind Hub in the Granite City today.The facility will enable the transition of staff from oil and gas to offshore wind as the energy transition gathers pace.
It will thus leverage the offshore expertise that TotalEnergies, formerly Total, has built over the last 50 years working in the North Sea.
Mr Pouyanne said: “Investing in energy projects in Scotland and the North Sea has been at the heart of TotalEnergies’ history.
“I am proud of the success of our partnership with Scotland and of our joint achievements, in particular the development of the offshore industry.
“With the energy transition gathering speed, we see Scotland as a great place to broaden our relationship by investing in offshore wind.
“As a global multi energy company long engaged in UK energy supply, our decision to base our UK Offshore Wind Hub here in Aberdeen is a mark of our confidence in the future of renewables in the UK and our continued commitment to Scotland and the North Sea.” - Energy Voice - link - Hamish Penman - link - more like this (France) - link - more like this - link
