TotalEnergies has announced the sale of 50 percent of its shares in West Burton Energy to EPUKI, the UK subsidiary of EPH. This transaction follows TotalEnergies’ acquisition of the company in June 2024, with an initial plan to divest half of the ownership.
West Burton Energy comprises a 1.3 GW gas-fired power plant and a 49 MW battery storage system located in the United Kingdom. The facility will now be operated by a joint venture between TotalEnergies and EPUKI.
“We are delighted to partner with EPH, a recognised and experienced power producer in the United Kingdom. Thanks to this operation, we are adjusting our net flexible generation capacity to 700 MW, which is consistent with the capacity required to support our renewables growth in the United Kingdom,” said Sophie Chevalier, senior vice president Flexible Power & Integration at TotalEnergies.
She added, “This integration between flexible and renewable assets will contribute to the objective of our Integrated Power business to reach 12 percent return by 2030.”
The sale aligns with TotalEnergies’ strategy to optimise its energy mix, combining flexible and renewable assets to enhance the resilience and profitability of its Integrated Power business. The partnership with EPUKI ensures a collaborative approach to operating West Burton Energy, supporting the transition to a more sustainable and balanced energy landscape in the UK.
