Total, one of the world’s major integrated oil & gas companies, along with French energy group EDF Renewables, will develop 700 Mw of solar power projects in India through their joint subsidiary EDEN Renewables India.
In a public statement, Total Eren and EDF Renewables announced signing of four 25-year long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), for four solar power projects totaling 716 MWp of installed capacities in northern India.
