TotalEnergies Buys Shell's European Renewables, Sells 50% Stake to KKR for €1.8B
TTE sits 55% above its 52-week low of $57.39.
Summary
TotalEnergies is executing a major European renewables reshuffle: it's buying Shell's entire onshore renewables business—a 4 GW portfolio with 500 MW operating or under construction and a 3.5 GW pipeline across Italy, UK, Spain, and the Netherlands—while simultaneously selling a 50% stake in a separate 1.2 GW developed portfolio to KKR for an enterprise value of €1.8 billion. The Shell deal deepens TotalEnergies' footprint in key deregulated markets and complements its existing 10 GW of installed/under-construction capacity. The KKR farm-down follows the company's established capital-light model, locking in returns and demonstrating its ability to recycle capital. Both transactions are expected to close by end-2026, pending approvals. This follows a series of strategic moves outlined in recent 6-Ks, including a €4.5 billion offshore wind project and Q2 net income of $5.4 billion, reinforcing the company's aggressive push toward its 100 TWh net electricity production target by 2030.
