TotalEnergies has announced the sale of 50% of its shares in West Burton Energy to EPUKI, the UK subsidiary of EPH.

West Burton Energy, which TotalEnergies fully acquired in June 2024, includes a 1.3 GW gas-fired power plant and a 49 MW battery storage system.

The intention behind acquiring West Burton Energy was to resell half of it, forming a joint venture with EPUKI to manage and operate these assets, TotalEnergies said on Monday.

“We are delighted to partner with EPH, a recognized 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 of Flexible Power & Integration at TotalEnergies.

“This integration between flexible and renewable assets will contribute to the objective of our Integrated Power business to reach a 12% return by 2030,” Chevalier added.
