08 February 2021 - A 50/50 joint venture between Macquarie’s Green Investment Group (GIG) and Total has been successful in securing rights to a seabed lease in the Eastern Regions zone in the Crown Estate’s Offshore Wind Leasing Round 4.  The project, which will be located off the UK’s East Anglian coast, could deliver up to 1.5 gigawatts (GW) of renewable electricity and represents a significant early-stage investment in the UK offshore wind sector for both companies. It will also: - Support significant employment opportunities and play a critical role in helping the UK meet its ambitious net zero target. - Enable the two partners to expand in the UK, which is Europe's most mature market for offshore wind and provides steady growth perspectives and a clear route-to-market.  Both GIG and Total are global renewable energy developers and investors and bring significant expertise, technical capability, and a track record in successful energy development to the project. GIG has supported almost 50% of the UK’s offshore wind capacity in operation1. Total continues to build up a strong position in offshore wind after its involvement in the 1.1 GW Seagreen project off the east coast of Scotland and in Erebus, a 96 MW floating offshore wind project in the Celtic Sea, leveraging its long-standing industrial activity in the UK. GIG and Total are currently partnering in South Korea to co-develop a major portfolio of floating offshore wind projects. Julien Pouget, Senior Vice President Renewables, Total, said: "Total is delighted to have been awarded 1.5 GW as part of the 4th Round of offshore wind leases from The Crown Estate with our partner GIG. We continue to support the energy transition goals of the UK. This project is our largest renewables development in Europe to date and an important step toward our 2050 net zero ambition. This success builds on our historical expertise in the UK offshore and is paving the way to expansion of our renewable energy offering in the country in line with our strategy of becoming a broad-energy company." Mark Dooley, Global Head of Green Investment Group, said: "With this investment, we’re continuing our pioneering role in the UK’s energy transition, and helping to establish offshore wind as the backbone of its new low-carbon energy system. Building on our track record as one of the country’s largest funders of offshore wind, this represents a significant increase in our commitment to the UK’s offshore wind sector. This adds to our growing portfolio of renewable developments in Europe and grows our global offshore wind development portfolio to over 13 GW."  Total and GIG were awarded this lease for an annual option fee of £83,000 per MW/year, during the development phase. There will now be a Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA) of the possible impact of the project on relevant nature conservation sites in the allotted area. Following successful conclusion of that process the final agreements for lease will be signed sometime in 2022.   Photo) A wind-measuring LiDAR installed in Ulsan for GIG and Total's Ulsan floating offshore wind farm development project.

Mokpo National Maritime University will arrange a curriculum on the floating offshore wind and share materials that are necessary for the education and field experience program to operate in a fruitful way.   GIG and Total are sparing no efforts to fulfill the Korean government’s Green New Deal plan of revitalizing local economy and creating jobs through the renewable energy by cooperating with a variety of educational institutions and corporations in the country during the development of floating offshore wind projects.   Meanwhile, GIG and Total have been seeking cooperative development plans in a diversified way with the Korean government and companies, including South Jeolla Province, Hyundai Heavy Industries, and SK E&C, to successfully promote the floating offshore wind projects. Photo 1) GIG and Total signed an MOU with Mokpo National Maritime University to pursue industrial-academic cooperation in the development of floating offshore wind energy.Photo 2) GIG and Total signed an MOU with Mokpo National Maritime University to pursue industrial-academic cooperation in the development of floating offshore wind energy.Photo 3) GIG and Total signed an MOU with Mokpo National Maritime University, both on and offline.Photo 4) GIG and Total signed an MOU with Mokpo National Maritime University, both on and offline. 

lGIG and Total have signed a memorandum of understanding with SK E&C in an effort to seek localization during the development of the floating offshore wind projects in Korea with a total of 2.3GW capacity. lThe deal is expected to make sure that the project is promoted with SK E&C’s expertise in designing, procuring, and constructing of offshore floaters and to contribute to job creation and the revitalization of the local economy.lThey plan to continue enhancing cooperation with Korean companies in shipbuilding, heavy industries, and other sectors. (November 18, 2020) Green Investment Group (GIG) and Total have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with SK Engineering & Construction (SK E&C) and agreed to cooperate for the successful development of floating offshore wind projects. GIG, a global leading green energy development and investment company, and Total, a broad energy company, already forged a partnership last July to jointly develop an initial portfolio of floating offshore wind projects in Korea with a total capacity of 2.3GW based on their respective expertise and experience. SK E&C, a subsidiary of SK Group and the first company in Korea that declared its joining of the RE100, is concentrating its competence on renewable energy development such as fuel cells, solar power, and offshore wind, in accordance with the group’s renewable energy policy. Through this agreement in particular, SK E&C plans to participate in the floating offshore wind projects by utilizing its experience in engineering, procuring, and constructing ocean facilities and ports, including marine floaters, both at home and abroad. GIG is a global investor and developer of green infrastructure assets with a mission to grow and spread the green economy worldwide. Having the world’s first Green Investment Bank (GIB), which was established by the British government in 2021, as its predecessor organization, GIG has contributed greatly to the U.K.'s green growth with investments in almost 50% of the country’s total offshore wind construction and operation capacity. GIG also has a global development pipeline of over 25GW, including 4.5GW of offshore wind development capacity across Asia. Total is a broad energy company and one of the world’s five energy majors that produces and sells fuels, natural gas, and electricity. Together with the community, Total is making active investments in its renewable energy portfolio to become one of the leading players in the renewable energy sector and achieve net zero by 2025. The company now aims to generate 35GW of electricity from renewable energy by 2025. Through the floating offshore wind projects in Korea, GIG and Total plan to revive Korea's stagnant shipbuilding and offshore plant industries and contribute to job creation, while closely cooperating with Korean shipyards, heavy industry businesses, and related small and medium-sized enterprises that have a competitive edge globally. SK E&C has been closely engaged in talks with GIG and Total to promote the floating offshore wind projects in Korea. It plans to lay a foundation for shared and sustainable growth by establishing a 'One Team Operation' system that enables the company to work as one team with its domestic partners in all processes from early business development and equity investment, engineering, planning, fabrication, and construction (EPFC) to operation and maintenance (O&M).  Meanwhile, GIG and Total have been seeking various ways to enhance mutual cooperation for the successful implementation of the floating offshore wind projects with the Korean government and relevant Korean companies such as Ulsan City and Hyundai Heavy Industries.  Photo) GIG and Total have signed an MoU with SK E&C for floating offshore wind projects.
