TotalEnergies acquires energy aggregator Quadra Energy
Published on: Oct 26, 2023
Quadra Energy is one of the top 3 aggregators of renewable electricity production in Germany.
TotalEnergies has signed agreements with the Aloys Wobben Foundation (AWS) to acquire German company Quadra Energy. Founded in 2012 and boasting a “virtual power plant” totaling 9 GW, Quadra Energy is one of the top 3 aggregators of renewable electricity production in Germany – the largest power market in Europe with the highest renewable growth.
Specializing in the aggregation of renewable electricity, Quadra Energy purchased production from around 5,000 wind and solar power plants in 2022, and then resold 14 TWh on wholesale markets and to German resellers and customers. Quadra Energy has also developed since 2021 a portfolio of medium-term contracts for the purchase of 2 TWh of renewable power and their sale through corporate PPAs.
"We are pleased with the acquisition of Quadra Energy, and I would like to welcome their teams, who will be an essential component of our presence in Germany’s electricity market,” said Stéphane Michel, President Gas, Renewables & Power at TotalEnergies
This acquisition further strengthens TotalEnergies’ integrated power business in Germany. The company will leverage the extensive expertise of Quadra Energy’s 40 staff members, as well as its innovative weather-forecasting platform. These assets will also enable the Company to strengthen its trading capacity on the intraday markets and to broaden its marketing activities to offer its German customers competitive corporate PPAs and clean firm power.
