TotalEnergies Adds 700 MW Renewables Portfolio to KKR Joint Venture
KKR is trading near its 52-week low of $82.67 (9.5% above the low).
Summary
TotalEnergies is expanding its existing joint venture with KKR by adding a 700 MW renewables portfolio, with assets expected to reach commercial operation dates by 1Q 2027. The transaction reflects an enterprise value of $1.2 billion for the portfolio. Electricity produced by the assets is already sold to third parties, and electricity will also be marketed by TotalEnergies. This is a new, material development for KKR's energy transition strategy, building on the firm's recent large-scale infrastructure and energy deals. The addition signals continued deployment into renewable assets. KKR's Q2 2026 results showed record AUM of $796 billion and strong fee-related earnings, providing ample capacity for such investments. The expansion follows KKR's $9 billion UGI take-private offer and the DCC Energy acquisition, reinforcing its push into energy and infrastructure.
At the time of this announcement, KKR was trading at $90.51 on NYSE in the Energy & Transportation sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $81.6B.
