Paris, June 3
Patrick Pouyanne, Chairman and CEO of the French energy giant TotalEnergies, has said the company is committed to continuing to support the expansion of Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL).
In a meeting with Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal here, Pouyanne said they are committed to continuing to support the expansion of Adani Green, “which already has 14 gigawatts of capacity,” and we “will continue to support this growth.”
Pouyanne also outlined TotalEnergies' broader Indian expansion plans, including increased energy exports from the US.
Goyal also posted on X: “Met Patrick Pouyanne, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies and discussed the company’s investment plans for India and avenues for deeper collaboration in the renewable energy sector”.
The French energy major has about $5 billion worth of investments in India, focusing on natural gas infrastructure, city gas development, and renewable energy projects, particularly solar and wind.
In January 2021, TotalEnergies collaborated with Adani Green for the first time when it acquired a minority stake in the renewable energy company.
