Orange signed a Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA) with Total, through its subsidiary Total Quadran – one of the leaders in renewable energies in France.
Total will supply Orange with 100 GWh a year of renewable electricity over a period of 20 years. This agreement will thus enable the development, by 2024, of a dozen new solar power plants spread throughout metropolitan France, with a cumulative capacity of 80 MW.
This agreement illustrates the commitment of Total and Orange to contribute to the country’s energy transition while promoting local economic development, with the support of regional authorities.
Orange recently joined forces with ENGIE, the leading developer of solar and wind power in France, to deliver a global renewable energy supply solution in the country. Last year, Orange signed its first Corporate Renewable Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Boralex, a major player in renewable energy.

By signing this contract with Total, Orange is acting in line with its objectives, which is to reduce its direct CO2 emissions by 30% compared with 2015 and to integrate 50% renewable energies into its electricity mix by 2025.
Stéphane Michel, President Gas, Renewables & Power at Total
We want to support large industrial consumers in their energy transition towards carbon neutrality. Our ambition is therefore to develop renewable electricity purchase contracts with corporate customers through projects from our development portfolio in France.
